- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at BLESS at UNITED DINER
A promising new Yakitori restaurant with some very interesting dishes, and great value, in a part of town I don’t head to often enough. @yakitoribless is now open. The soborodon at the end, as well as the wing/hatsumoto combo plate were particularly excellent.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 赤坂おぎ乃 at Akasaka Ogino
Wow. Just, wow. A three month old kappo/kaiseki restaurant blew me away tonight. Top level technique, ingenious flavors, wonderful hospitality. It’s such a pleasure to be there at the “beginning” for what is clearly destined to be a highly exclusive gourmet enclave. Of course, Chef Ogino has many years of experience working with some of the best,... More
Wow. Just, wow. A three month old kappo/kaiseki restaurant blew me away tonight. Top level technique, ingenious flavors, wonderful hospitality. It’s such a pleasure to be there at the “beginning” for what is clearly destined to be a highly exclusive gourmet enclave. Of course, Chef Ogino has many years of experience working with some of the best, but his solo debut is a stunner. Book it immediately, or risk being left out. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 銀座しのはら at Ginza Shinohara
Just a small selection of the absolutely stunning meal at Shinohara. A place I’ve been trying to get in to for ages; I finally got a same day cancelled seat. The juxtaposition of top ingredients, flawless technique, and jovial chef with warm service was a real winner for me. Can’t wait to come back ... in six months when they have another open seat...

Truly delicious Italian by way of Kyoto-style in the heart of Tokyo. @erba_da_nakahigashi is really a must visit, and far off most people’s radar.

A fantastic lunch course with Vietnamese and Japanese flavors at @andivietnamese Extremely delicious, bright, fresh. A super smart wine list focusing on natural wines, and Japanese wines well represented. The people were absolutely delightful, very friendly.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at てんぷら小野 at Tempura Ono
One thing I’ve really been missing is proper tempura. It just can’t survive takeout or delivery. Tonight I tried the new-to-me Tempura Ono in Hatchobori. I was super pleased with my meal. Excellent ingredients, with the kind of light and crispy batter I prefer. A good balance of vegetables and seafood, and many salads and sides between fried courses.... More

The chef was extremely gregarious, and speaks perfect English as well. Highly recommended. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 焼鳥今井 at Yakitori Imai
A fantastic visit to @yakitoriimai right after they reopened. It’s like a whole new restaurant. All the things I loved before, but even better. Doing some interesting things I’ve never seen before, like rice straw in the charcoal right before cooking quail eggs, for a puff of delicious smoke. As always, my highest recommendation.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at Shinois at ShinoiS
A few shots from my second meal at ShinoiS. Just as good as the first, and better in a few places. Absolutely essential Tokyo eating, and only 7 months old. Get the pairings, ask for teas, and try their custom made beer with the rice/noodle courses at the end. Thank me later.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at VIA Brianza at VIA Brianza (VIA Brianza)
A few bites from an excellent (and shockingly reasonable) tasting course at @via_brianza. Sitting outside in the spring evening was a delight.
