- Jason Wang added a new meal Dinner at てんぷら 深町 at Tempura Fukamachi (てんぷら 深町)
One cuisine we always eat while in Japan is tempura. A great lunch spot is 1* Fukamachi (てんぷら 深町). Chef Fukamachi has been making tempura professionally for 35 years before opening his own restaurant in 2002. Everything is presented openly to customers directly at the counter.

Chef Fukamachi has been making tempura professionally for 35 years before opening his own restaurant in 2002. Everything is presented openly to customers directly at the counter. The fresh ingredients are delicately fried one by one; the oil and tempura batter are blended by the Chef himself from an original recipe. ?

- Jason Wang added a new meal Dinner at Bar Gen Yamamoto at Gen Yamamoto
Back at one of our favorite spots in Tokyo, Bar Gen Yamamoto. There are just 8 counter seats and it is run by the owner and sole bartender. The 7-drink cocktail tasting reflects "shiki" (Japanese seasonality), using fresh ingredients while building on a progression of flavors and harmony.

Kagero+ seriously serves up some of the best Italian food we've ever had! We chose 5 appetizers and 4 mains from the menu plus desserts. The pastas were incredible and included some of the best dishes we've had all year. Perfect texture with complex flavors. We loved our meal here and hope to return! ?

A special unagi shop in Tokyo - Uomasa (うなぎ 魚政). They pride themselves on serving only domestically bred eel of the finest quality; 'Tokuchukatsuman' (literally translated 'specially prepared from living eels') is a registered trademark of this store.

A special unagi shop in Tokyo - Uomasa (うなぎ 魚政). They pride themselves on serving only domestically bred eel of the finest quality; 'Tokuchukatsuman' (literally translated 'specially prepared from living eels') is a registered trademark of this store. Reservations are a must and you also have to pre-order your meal a week in advance as sourcing and preparation takes time. When you arrive, they begin the cooking process which takes 40 minutes so everything is served as fresh as it can possibly be. We ordered 5 sets of wild unagi - 4 unajyu and 1 kabayaki. It was hands down the one of the best unagi we've ever had anywhere in Japan. ?

Can't leave Hanoi without eating the iconic local specialty Chả Cá, which is a Vietnamese-style fish served with turmeric & dill. There's even a street named after the dish to honor this unique delicacy. There are a couple of institutional spots to have this dish (including Chả Cá Thăng Long), and you know you're at the right place when impostors dress up like the waiters inside and try to convince you to go across the street.
::::
To prepare Chả Cá, the fish bones are removed. It's then seasoned, covered in banana leaves and grilled over coal. An oven is needed when serving to keep Chả Cá hot. Finally, it's fried table-side and served with roasted peanuts, rice noodles, spice vegetables (dill, spring onion, coriander, mint) and fish sauce. Delicious!
::::
“The Hanoian has a saying that someone has to try this fish once in a life before leaving the world.”

Late night desserts on a street corner at Xôi Chè Bà Thìn. This street stall was established by a lady named Ms. Thin in 1930 and all the short plastic stools are full throughout the entire evening. Che (sweet soup) is one of the favorite things locals eat during the winter months in Hanoi. Whether you're on a date or taking the family out, everyone loves it. We did too.
::::
There are four main kinds of Che served in this stall. - Ba cot: sweet soup cooked from glutinous rice and sliced ginger
- Do den: literally means “black beans”, cooked from black beans, tapioca and coconut
- Do xanh: sweet soup cooked from broken peeled mung beans
- Banh troi tau: sticky rice dumplings boiled in a sweet ginger soup, with the stuffing of the dumplings comprising of black sesame or ground mung beans mixed with crushed roasted peanut, sugar and coconut
