Talking about Farm2Table! This is the ultimate application of this concept. This restaurant is a villa 20 minutes outside Wakayama.

Talking about Farm2Table! This is the ultimate application of this concept. This restaurant is a villa 20 minutes outside Wakayama. It is housed in a house which looks from the outside and the inside like a Tuscan villa. The husband and wife couple only take on reservations for lunch and dinner up to 8 people. So if you turn up with the minimum of two people you have a very private dinner. Their fields where the grow almost all of the vegetables are right outside the front door. So Farm2Table takes about 2 minutes.
Obviously they specialize in vegetable dishes and all of them are exquisite. The product is excellent and the seasoning well calibrated and the execution of the preparation perfect.
The theme is Italian inspired but not Italian, we ordered the pasta dish as an extra course. The sequencing of the menu is more Western than Japanese, but there is no doubt where this restaurant is located.
The winde list is very interesting with some rare and old Italian wines on the list which are very competitively priced.
It is easy to reach but harder to book so plan well ahead when thinking of going there.

Another soupless tantanmen ramen. Thick noodles, slightly curled. The spice level can be varied according to taste.
Order the soft boiled egg and mix it into the whole to create a creamier sauce.
Soldi place.

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at Takazawa (タカザワ) at Takazawa
Final meal of 2020 and what a meal it was! Takazawa san is a Master of fusion without any borders. French and Italian influences are weaved together with Japanese ingredients through perfect techniques. As it was a private dinner they sources some very special products like the albino caviar which tasted exquisitely.
What a great way of finishing... More

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Wine tasting at オータム レン at オータム レン
Incredible little wine bistro in Osu covered shopping street. Mouton Rothschild and Orneilla by the Glas for ¥3,000. And there is food too, a cross section of Asia simple dishes.
Unbelievable value and great fun.

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Lunch at Tantanmen Issei at Tantanmen Issei
Excellent tantanmen shop, a branch of Issei close to the Nagoya castle. I ate the soup less version which bring out the spices more. The side order of rice with pickled vegetables and the fried chicken was also very delicious.

Second leg on the Nagoya beef tour. Setsugekka is a modern steakhouse serving great Kobe beef.
Excellent execution, great starters.
I only wished there was more focus on the beef, the main course, another Chateaubriand was almost a afterthought.

Traditional steakhouse which has been in business for decades. we pre-ordered the Chateaubriand which was excellent. Medium rare to perfection, great lean taste and a wonderful soft texture. This is as good as it gets.
