- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 鮨喜邑 at Sushi Kimura (すし 喜邑)
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

Kanda かんだ 3rd visit — delicious as always. Some highlights of the spring season: caviar & fugu; tiny but super flavorful baby ayu; shirauo tamago kake gohan. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at SATOブリアン 九州和牛 at SATO Briand
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 Rakuichi Soba Restaurant at Rakuichi Soba
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! •

Very high quality tempura, perfect texture and full of flavors. Loved the tender and smoky venison tempura and the seasonal takenoko tempura. Soba was freshly made every day, al dente texture and pure buckwheat flavor. Overall an amazing meal. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 肉割烹 上 at Niku Kappou Jou (肉割烹 上)
Niku kappo Jo 肉割烹上 2nd visit — 1st visit was 4 years ago which I enjoyed a lot, and this time the food has gotten even more refined. The meal was wagyu focused but not too heavy, balanced with a few seasonal fish dishes. The dan dan noodle and beef curry rice were a great way to finish the meal. •

Open and spacious interior, wide counter built around the katsuoboshi slicer as Itou san believes dashi is the center element of kaiseki. The meal was quite traditional, with some innovative elements reminiscent of Ryugin. A few dishes were slightly under seasoned but overall a great experience. Great potential for this place with the chef’s focus and determination. •

Tempura Kondo てんぷら近藤 1st visit — and most likely the last visit. Food was actually good, well balanced flavor and the texture was immaculate. However the service was disappointing (which is very rare in Japan), the vibe we got from the staff was that none of them wanted to be there. All the sake tasted like they have been opened for a week. I wonder how they got their 2 Michelin stars. •
