in hiroshima, japan (aug’24)
stopped by hiroshima for the day and made our way to this little shop a distance away from the city center. an innovative twist in japanese cooking, which to me didn’t really hit the ‘innovative’ nor traditional genre. still struggling to pin point the style of chef’s cooking, and for me this meal fell short of its accolades.
began with a refreshing suppon jelly, and a raw ayu dish with cucumbers. the grilled ayu on rice with sansho was one of my favourites... More

began with a refreshing suppon jelly, and a raw ayu dish with cucumbers. the grilled ayu on rice with sansho was one of my favourites of the lunch, also liked the juicy shiro nasu of the owan. suppon karage was very enjoyable and the steamed isaki resembled that of cantonese cooking. ended with a generous slice of venison on and off the grill with a sweet confit onion puree, before a serving of gohan with octopus, tomato and shiso. i liked the basil ice cream a lot, terrine pudding was average, expected more flavour from the burnt sugar caramel.
a nice meal but had no wow factors or excitement, nothing drawing me back to return nor urge to recommend anyone to make the hike just for it.

AKAI
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Focused on flavours and execution, with a modern touch on most dishes. Unique flavour combos but ingredients were great. The higuma sausage on top of potato was outstanding, with the rich bear flavour and texture matched with the sauce. It is a bit of a journey to get there from pretty much anywhere but this is a place but worth the journey.. the space is beautiful also, perched slightly on a hill.. it isn't the easiest place to find either, but recommended!
