So the dinners who started at DiverXo went through the entire meal and around 11pm were escorted across the street into the Alinea pop up location and restarted a second meal with cocktails.
Anyway, in a direct manu a manu Grant Achatz won hands down.

Besides stacking up accolades around Europe, they produce a wonderful food, with sometimes surprising combination of flavours.
If you stay at their small hotel, you get to eat one of the best breakfasts you can get anywhere.

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at Tori-Shiki at Torishiki
What would you say, if I tell you we should go to a tiny place in Tokyo and then we are going to eat for hours small skewers of various parts of chicken? Some parts of a chicken you will have never heard of and maybe never want to hear about. They will be served barbequed over a tiny coal grill but sometimes almost raw inside. I am pretty sure you...

What would you say, if I tell you we should go to a tiny place in Tokyo and then we are going to eat for hours small skewers of various parts of chicken? Some parts of a chicken you will have never heard of and maybe never want to hear about. They will be served barbequed over a tiny coal grill but sometimes almost raw inside. I am pretty sure you would not be very enthusiastic about this proposal.
But let me tell, once you get going at Tori-Shiki, Maestro Chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa with his hachimaki bandana will put a spell on you. You will be sitting there hoping that the endless stream of skewers will never end.
My son had to call 124 times to get the reservation (as Chef Ikegawa is brutally democratic about this) and once successful we got allocated only a 2-hour time slot. Chef Ikegawa seem to take a liking of us as he gave us an extra hour when we were nearing the end of our time slot, and we were more than grateful for this.
Try and get a reservation, go there, enjoy and be thankful.

A very small Yakiniku places close to the Asagaya station serves up one of the best cuts of beef you can get.
Their cuts of tongue melt in your mouth.
Funny story on the side:

Funny story on the side:
We went there during one of the very rare snow storms in Tokyo. So as it is custom in Japan, when one of the customers leaves one of the Chefs has to stand outside the restaurant bowing until this customer dispapears out of sight. Now as most of the customers turned right towards the train station the poor young man who had this tasks of standing outside assigned to him had to face the entire evening the driving wind and snow bowing to his leaving customers. We really felt for this poor chap. Less
