- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at ZURRIOLA at ZURRIOLA (スリオラ)
A few shots of an absolutely delicious menu at Zurriola. I certainly wasn’t expecting to find elegant, Basque-Japanese food on top of a department store in Tokyo, but by now I should know better. I have yet to try to find a kind of food and not be able to find it in this city, usually very well executed. For this one, lots of technique and smart flavors,... More

I have yet to try to find a kind of food and not be able to find it in this city, usually very well executed. For this one, lots of technique and smart flavors, great service, and a deep Spanish wine list. A definite return for me. Less

The excellent sake line up at Hakkoku. And a couple of pieces of sushi. For those asking for more bottle shots :)

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 晴山 at Japanese restaurant Seizan
A famous restaurant that really lived up to all the praise I’d heard over the years. Quietly confident, excellent technique, sublime flavors. I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend with regular counter seats; alas I wasn’t able to reserve my own for next time... a common problem at the top end of Japanese gastronomy. Nonetheless, I will endeavor... More

Nonetheless, I will endeavor to return as soon as I can. Special thank you to @davidkinch for being the first to tell me to come here, years ago. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 末廣鮨 at Suehiro Zushi (末廣鮨)
Suehiro Sushi. Shimizu city, Shizuoka Prefecture. A long standing restaurant in a port town that gets first pick of a lot of good seafood, I had a feast of pristine ingredients from the 80+yr old head chef. Interestingly, it was almost all sashimi and cooked dishes, but I certainly wasn’t complaining. I regret not bringing a bigger appetite after... More

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 虎ノ門横丁 at Toranomon Yokocho
A crawl through Tokyo’s newest food hall, @toranomon_yokocho Despite being hidden in a glass tower, this lively space is a collection of outposts of many well-known restaurants. I went on Monday, so I couldn’t try Kirakutei or Birdland’s offshoots, but had a great roving dinner with wine from @andivietnamese, Spanish bites... More
A crawl through Tokyo’s newest food hall, @toranomon_yokocho Despite being hidden in a glass tower, this lively space is a collection of outposts of many well-known restaurants. I went on Monday, so I couldn’t try Kirakutei or Birdland’s offshoots, but had a great roving dinner with wine from @andivietnamese, Spanish bites and sherry from Plancha Zurriola, and killer sausage tonkatsu and orange wine from @nao.tirpse Finished off with chocolate and cocktails at Mixology’s new bar, @mementomori_toranomon. Next time, the Thai and Chinese options are up. A serious new casual dining destination. I recommend getting there early, and a few spots allow reservations, which are quickly becoming essential.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 成生 at Naruse
Naruse. Tempura perfection. In addition to being utterly delicious, watching the chef work was a masterclass in itself. Part 2.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at Abysse at abysse (abysse)
Absolutely fantastic dinner at @abysserestaurant An all-seafood tasting menu in a spare, serene space. Perfect wine pairings, some quite esoteric, all well aged. Spotless service. Going on my “must” list.

Masterful, as always. With food this pared-down, there’s nowhere to hide.
