- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 木山 at Kiyama (木山)
Kiyama 2nd visit — this time even better than the last! Love how particular Kiyama san is about his dashi, blending 3 different types of katsuobushi together for a more complex and balanced flavor. The tamago kake gohan topped with anago at the end was both original and delicious. Great wine and sake selection too. •

Activities: 8/10 (sightseeing)
Rooms: 8/10
Onsen: 9/10 (private outdoor onsen, public onsen)
Other facilities: 8/10 (restaurant, spa, shop)
Food: 6/10
Wine/sake list: 6/10
Service: 10/10
Foreigner friendliness: 10/10 (English speaking staff)
Overall: 80/100
Pros: historical ryokan opened in 1885; beautiful ocean view of Nanao Bay; spacious room with private outdoor onsen on the patio (Rikyu VIP room 1F); convenient access by train
Cons: it’s a large ryokan so it doesn’t feel like very exclusive or private; food was a bit underwhelming especially given that it’s located on Noto peninsula, where some of the best ingredients in Japan come from

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 片折 at Kata ori (片折)
Kataori 片折 3rd visit — best experience here so far. Loved how Kataori san showcased the color and purity of late spring ingredients. The botan ebi was huge and sweet; first time seeing so many live hotaru ika simply boiled in dashi, pure taste of the ocean and umami. •

Makinonci マキノンチ 1st visit — rebranding of the renowned French Cuisine Makino, 2 Michelin stars. The restaurant is located halfway up Mt Utatsu in Kanazawa, offering beautiful view of sunset over the city. Dishes are quite innovative, with interesting twists here and there. Favorite was the baked matsutake and anago served with egg yolk sauce; and the grilled suppon. The main duck dish was good but nothing too special and the portion was quite big, so was the chestnut strudel dessert which I couldn’t finish.. •

Unis 1st visit — ex-Sugalabo chef, beautiful interior featuring a large kitchen counter on center stage. Lighting, music and projected images change throughout the meal to enhance the experience. An interesting experience overall, great for special occasions but perhaps too much focus on the space instead of the food itself. Favorite dish was the hokkigai salad, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Wine list could use some improvement. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at おみ乃 押上 at Omi No (焼鳥 おみ乃)
Yakitori Omino おみ乃 2nd visit — enjoyed it much more than the first time (mostly because it was summer last time, the space was crowded and a/c was weak). All the skewers grilled to perfection, juicy and not overly seasoned. Highlights were seseri, shokudo and eggplant. •

Azabujuban Fukuda 麻布十番ふくだ 1st visit — both cooking and service styles by this husband and wife team are reminiscent of Haguchi, which is traditional, ingredient focused cuisine with profound and balanced flavors, maybe just fewer wow moments compared to Higuchi but still a very solid meal. Really enjoyed the moroko from Biwa lake, a fish with soft and creamy texture that looks like ayu but without the bitterness. •
