- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 焼鳥 篠原 at Yakitori Shinohara (焼鳥 篠原)
Yakitori Shinohara 焼鳥篠原 1st visit — relatively now yakitoriya, creative appetizers, juicy and tasty skewers (though on the saltier side), and good wine list. Definitely worth going back. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at インフィニート ヒロ【infinito HIRO】 at infinito HIRO
Infinito Hiro インフィニート ヒロ 1st visit — innovative Italian, high quality food which exceeded my expectation, especially enjoyed the pasta dishes. Chef was very nice, tried to explain the dishes in English. Though the portions of a few dishes were a bit too big and the wine list has room for improvement. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 焼鳥今井 at Yakitori Imai
Yakitori Imai 焼鳥今井 1st visit — loved the modern and spacious interior. A few skewers were slightly dry but overall good quality and decent wine list. The chicken shirako was interesting and the oyakodon at the end was very satisfying. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Textura at Textur A (TexturA)
TexturA 1st visit — interesting concept of Chinese and Spanish fusion, tasty and well executed dishes. The duck shabu in mala hotpot was delicious. Although the meal was more of a combination of Chinese and Spanish dishes than a true fusion of the two cuisines. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at アルシミスト / Alchimiste at Alchimiste
Alchimiste アルシミスト 2nd visit — 1st time at this new location featuring high ceiling and open kitchen, which gives the restaurant completely different character. Favorite dish was the KFC style abalone, perfect texture and seasoning. Although the wine list seemed less extensive than before.. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Yaumay ヤウメイ at Yaumay
Sunday brunch with some fine bottles. First time tasting the 18 vintage from Tremblay and CLB. Both got ripe yet fresh nose, juicy fruit and soft spices. Though the CLB has got a slightly firmer structure, fuller palate and more energy. Curious how they will evolve.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 樋口 at Higuchi (樋口)
Higuchi 樋口 1st visit — this place definitely exceeded my expectations, possibly one of the best kaiseki experience in Tokyo so far. Traditional setting, great service, subtle and balanced flavors. Some rare & seasonal ingredients included whale tongue, nodoguro, meiji maguro and hiou (ice fish). Great sake selection too. Too bad no photos allowed... More
