- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at おの澤 at Sharikimon Onozawa
A little over a year old, @sharikimon_onozawa is a very impressive new restaurant. From a chef that formerly worked at a Soba restaurant, you get a flavorful and well executed meal with a lot of variety. Instead of rice, finish with your choice of soba. I recommend getting all of them. Recently added to @omakasejapan for easy booking.... More

A really lovely little meal, in a charming space that evoked Paris in the best way. @sio_tokyo

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at EAT PLAY WORKS at Ăn Cơm
When I go to @gracia_tokyo, I usually don’t order — I just ask @jeromequilbeuf and his great team to make dinner. They never disappoint. Great news - you can now order one of these amazing cheesecakes to go.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at エスキス at ESqUISSE (エスキス)
A December menu at @esquisse_tokyo. Deep, thoughtful, comforting, artistic. An outstanding pairing, as always, and that bread from @perretgallixugo.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 天ぷら 元吉 at Tempura Motoyoshi
Another excellent dinner at Tempura Motoyoshi. Rather than luxury ingredients, he’s really innovating with technique and combinations. Extremely friendly, good cost performance, and a greet eye for ceramics as well. The more I eat in Tokyo, the more I notice everything “around” the meal, not just the food on the plate. It’s up to you if that... More

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 麻布十番 たきや at Takiya (たきや)
Great dinner at Takiya, the last high end tempura spot on my list that I hadn’t visited. Oddly enough, also the closest to my house. I’d love to go back, but they wouldn’t let me make a return booking as I left.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at The Kayotei at かよう亭
Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Yamanaka Onsen: Kayotei Ryokan @kayotei_ryokan
Breakfast at Kayotei. Named the Best in Japan, and I have little reason to argue. Their focus on local producers and artisans makes it extra special. Starts with tea and umeboshi under the kotstsu in your room, then off to the garden view for a huge... More

Yamanaka Onsen: Kayotei Ryokan @kayotei_ryokan
Breakfast at Kayotei. Named the Best in Japan, and I have little reason to argue. Their focus on local producers and artisans makes it extra special. Starts with tea and umeboshi under the kotstsu in your room, then off to the garden view for a huge spread that just keeps coming. Extra thanks to the lovely staff that taught me a neat trick for deboning grilled fish. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 緒方 at Ogata
Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Kyoto: Ogata
Extremely famous, extremely hard to book. Absurdly expensive. Refined to utter purity and simplicity. The crab was excellent, but I’d like to go back outside of a special ingredient season to see how they cook.

Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Posting a bunch of places all at once, since I’m way behind.
Kyoto: Vena @vena.kyoto
Great lunch with nice wine pairings. Want to go back with a group and take advantage of their deep cellar.

Kanazawa: Sushi Mekumi @sushidokoro.mekumi
Yamaguchi-san is not serving typical sushi. Our crab course started with five different types of crab in seven preparations, followed by some bycatch shrimp and whelk, then on to nigiri. Superb flavors, delicate shari, and great saké pairings. A must-go, 100% worth the trip. Less
