- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at toshi (隼) at Toshi (隼) with Justin Hurst
High end Chinese place in Tokyo. Certainly nothing for the purist seeking original Chinese cuisine. However a fun place with an incredible wok powered by something which must be an US army grade flamethrower.
The food is very tasty with some interesting flavor combinations and flavors. The presentation is more French than Chinese but very well done.... More

The sommelier endeared himself to me in suggesting that the “regular” wine pairing is much better value than the prestige one, it then turned out the this pairing was extraordinary. Great wines, selected to go very well with the food. None of the usual BS when it comes to wine pairings. This is how you make friends. Less

A brand new sushi restaurant, belonging to the fledgling Sakai group. One Sakai’s disciples operates it with all the verve of a new beginning.
The otsumami are excellent and the nigiri well formed, the shari identical to Sakai’s.

Super traditional eel restaurant in the center of Tokyo. One can order in the same dish two different types of preparation. Worth the wait!

Only in Japan can you walk into one of those chains order a curry with a specific spice level, get some tasty food and pay less than €7

Excellent yakitori place. More upscale than normal, they offer wine as well as whiskey for drinks.
The absolute highlight is the tori paitan hot pot, which you eat in four stages, firstly you put the thighs and the chicken meatballs together with the mushrooms into the soup. Then the serve you vegetables to be flask cooked in the boiling broth. Thirdly... More

The absolute highlight is the tori paitan hot pot, which you eat in four stages, firstly you put the thighs and the chicken meatballs together with the mushrooms into the soup. Then the serve you vegetables to be flask cooked in the boiling broth. Thirdly they bring soba noodles, per cooked, so you only need to heat them. And then finally you can finish the delicious, intense and very creamy broth with by then is loaded with umami. This soup would make any ramen store proud. Less
