- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Tempura Matsu at Matsu (天ぷら 松)
Tempura Matsu 天ぷら松 — located in Arashiyama, Kyoto, this place is so much more than just tempura. It’s rather like a casual but fun kappo restaurant that incorporates tempura elements throughout the meal. The aroma of the bamboo shoot was unbelievable. Great service and atmosphere too, going with regular customers was a plus.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Ji-Cube at Ji Cube (Ji-Cube)
Ji-Cube ジーキューブ 1st visit — nee Chinese restaurant by ex 4000 Chinese chef. Combination of Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine, typical Japanese style Chinese so some dishes were a bit too sweet for me. Highlight was the Matsutake fukahire, the aroma and flavor of Matsutake came through surprisingly well even with the thick sauce. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 三田牛竈炭火焼ウェスタ at Vesta (ウェスタ)
Steak wines — 03 Cappellano was ripe and pruny, soft acidity, not surprising for the vintage, time to drink up; 12 Accomasso was expressive and approachable; 98 La Chapelle was surprisingly elegant, fresh and aromatic nose, good balance of sweet fruit and savory palate, at peak & above expectation; 10 Solaia was dense, ripe and oak, not something...

Steak wines — 03 Cappellano was ripe and pruny, soft acidity, not surprising for the vintage, time to drink up; 12 Accomasso was expressive and approachable; 98 La Chapelle was surprisingly elegant, fresh and aromatic nose, good balance of sweet fruit and savory palate, at peak & above expectation; 10 Solaia was dense, ripe and oak, not something I’d usually drink but good with steak.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 鮨喜邑 at Sushi Kimura
Pinot night. WOT: 02 Bizot — clear Bizot style with the spicy stemy whole bunch character, fresh nose, very good density and complexity for an almost 20 years old village. Also interesting to try 2 Grands Echezeaux 20 years apart. Lucien le Moine was powerful and meaty, lacking some finesse; Mongeard was a bit over the hill, overwhelmingly tertiary.... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at SATOブリアン 九州和牛 at Sato Buriand (SATOブリアン)
Sato Buriand SATOブリアン 1st visit — located in a humble building on the outskirts of Tokyo, very high quality meat, not as intensely marinated as most Japanese style yakiniku, this place rather focuses on the original flavor of the beef. Worth the 1 hour trip for lunch. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Nanpeidaicho at Jinen. (jinen.)
Jinen. 1st visit — the newest addition to the Ishikawa group. Nice setting of a long dining room with a semi-private section and view of the backyard, almost like someone’s living room. The final preparation of most dishes were done at a station in the dining room by chef Kato san (who used to work at Noma and INUA), which was interesting to watch.... More

The final preparation of most dishes were done at a station in the dining room by chef Kato san (who used to work at Noma and INUA), which was interesting to watch. Favorite dishes were the abalone somen, quail with rice and quail egg, and mushroom risotto. Good wine list too. •

Rakuichi 楽一, the best soba shop in Niseko, serves a full omakase menu for dinner. The meal started with sashimi and ended with freshly made soba. The iberico ham shabu was perfect for winter. Great service and atmosphere too. •

Aca 1 アカ1 first visit — one of the most highly rated Spanish restaurants recently moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. Chef Azuma san trained at Mirador de Ulia in Basque. Open kitchen showcases a charcoal grill and a wood burning stove. Well thought out menu featuring Japanese ingredients, not overly complicated but original dishes. The charcoal grilled beef was cooked to perfection; crab paella was both picturesque and delicious. Favorite was the fugu shirako and kuruma ebi served in boiling garlic oil which really hit the point! Looking forward to next visit! •
