- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at Ostü at Ostü
One of the hardest things to leave in Seattle was my weekly tradition of Sunday at Spinasse. And while nothing will ever come close to replacing the great friends and delicious food over the many years, it was a tremendous pleasure to discover authentic Piedmontese food and wine at Ostü in Tokyo. Vitello Tonnato, Plin, Brasato, Barolo... it was all... More

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 神楽坂石かわ at Kagurazaka Ishikawa
Truly one of the world’s greatest restaurants. Of my five visits - this was perhaps the most memorable — which is saying something. It’s a pleasure to see that even at the top of the craft, Ishikawa-san is still pushing to do better.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 鮨 猪股 at Sushi Inomata
I don’t often post sushi, and certainly not nigiri (too time sensitive), but this was too good not to share. A few of the more unique pieces at Sushi Inomata. It’s a long way from central Tokyo, but his specialty in premium ingredients and prolonged aging is worth your time. Highly recommended. ありがとうございます、@sushi_inomata... More

Wonderful to make it back to @susumu0shimizu’s Restaurant Anis in Tokyo. No menu, just show up and eat a delicious multi course meal built around local meat and outstanding vegetables. Notable wine list, particularly some Japanese gems like the one pictured here.

My first meal at @yakitoriimai as a resident of Tokyo. Finally. Raided their cellar :)

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at Takazawabar at Takazawa
When one of the best chefs you know says he’s opening his bar for the New Years quiet period, and he’s cooking up a “little menu”, you go. Thank you as always @takazawayoshi for the delicious food and wine.

New Years dinner in Tokyo isn’t the big deal it is in the US, but I managed to find some really tasty French food. Top notch service as well.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at Path at PATH
This crispy Dutch pancake with burrata, ham, and maple syrup was definitely a great first breakfast in my new home town. Not pictured - excellent croissants that sell out early (I got the last one before 10am).

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 傳 Den at Den (傳)
Collaborative dinners and pop ups can often be a mixed bag, but I had a lot of fun at the #gelinaz shuffle this year. Coconuts and banana leaves in the communal table at @zaiyuhasegawa’s Den told us we were in for something fun. The crew did a great job of interpreting Thai flavors, but very much in the Den spirit.

Collaborative dinners and pop ups can often be a mixed bag, but I had a lot of fun at the #gelinaz shuffle this year. Coconuts and banana leaves in the communal table at @zaiyuhasegawa’s Den told us we were in for something fun. The crew did a great job of interpreting Thai flavors, but very much in the Den spirit. Turns out our mystery restaurant twin for the night was @ledubkk - which almost no one guessed. Less
