- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at UDATSU SUSHI at UDATSU SUSHI
Innovative and delicious sushi. However, one can see that Udatsu san cannot source to top notch ingredients. The technique is solid and the rice well seasoned. One wonders if…

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at Daigo at Daigo
One of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in the world. Beautiful designed dishes which keep the palate interested in the most amazing setting. An oasis close to Tokyo Tower.
French trained, 4th generation owner incorporates vegetables not only from Japan and also uses katsuobushi for his dashi.
An excellent meal.

Japan just keeps on delivering. Yaizu, a 13 minute ride from Shizuoka on the local train with school kids returning one after school, is a nondescript town which seems to have been abandoned by its residents.

In a very residential neighborhood a very normal house stands. However when you are let in a new world opens. A beautiful garden surrounds a very Classical Japanese building with a small counter seating restaurant. A young Chef, trained in Tokyo, and his team work their magic there.
A marvelous Kaiseki meal with many different fish, locally sources, deliver a magical experience. Every single dish is showcasing the main ingredient, supported by some vegetable, executed to perfection with a great combination of flavors. Against those fish, the meat was almost a let down as it tasted just “great”.
The hospitality delivered by the Okamisama is friendly and professional.
What a place!
I did not only book one more time, no I booked two times this year.
Go there!

It took me years to get this reservation. A sushi place, tucked away in a quiet street in a tiny little town in Ise. A place which was rated 3 stars in the regional Guide Michelin, when they were still publishing them.
A husband and wife team where the Taishou comes out and sprays the front door before the open.

The meal started with some otsumami of some gais. Outstanding without doubt the tori-gai kimo. The whole counter of 6 people stated that it was their first time eating it.
The nigiri are varied, well formed and aged. From time to time some of the pieces get grilled in the salamander to enhance the flavor. The Shari, well cooked and not too acidic.
A great place.
I hope I do not have to wait another 3 years to come back. Less
