Some of my favorite tempura last night at Fukamachi. Highly recommended.

- 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.

Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Kyoto: Nakahigashi (part 2)
A meal that’s hard to describe. Nakahigashi-san is a master of using the wild bounty around Kyoto to build elaborate, playful, refined yet comforting food. No luxury ingredients — the first night on the trip I hadn’t eaten a crab (or five).

A meal that’s hard to describe. Nakahigashi-san is a master of using the wild bounty around Kyoto to build elaborate, playful, refined yet comforting food. No luxury ingredients — the first night on the trip I hadn’t eaten a crab (or five).
Despite my embarrassingly bad Japanese, chef was eager to explain about the ingredients and why he chose them.
In a moment of pure Kyoto-ness, we were stopped half way through the meal and taken outside to watch the huge moon rise over the eastern hills. It was a touch of magic.
Very much looking forward to returning in spring, when the bitter greens and bamboo shoots start emerging. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 木山 at Kiyama (木山)
Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Kyoto: Kiyama (part 2)
One of the best meals of my trip, though less famous and less expensive than many others. Flavor, texture, aroma, and depth were all balanced. Going back soon.

- 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
Yamanaka Onsen: Washu Bar Engawa @yamanakaonsen_washubar_engawa
Super cool spot focusing on nihonshu. Beautiful serving ware, largely made nearby. Serving a cloudy nigori saké in a cup with a mother of pearl “moon” at the bottom was a deft touch. A must go.

Another wonderful Sunday lunch at ESqUISSE. Becoming a Tokyo tradition for me.
