- Kevin Chen added a new meal Dinner at 目黒駅 at Tori Shiki (鳥しき)
Torishiki
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If there was ever an iconic yakitori place, this would be it. The owner basically set the standard for grilling chicken in the world and has a group of restaurants to show for it. His style leans on the more toasty side of things, with larger than 'normal' pieces that only stop when you say STOP".

Definitely in my top 5 for Tokyo and if you don't consider the challenges of booking, well worth the visit for sure. Just keep an open stomach.

う嵐

As far as unagi goes, this is the shop where the singularity can be found. I have not had to absorb as much information about a single species of fish as I had to on this day. Juicy, succulent, rich, flavourful and delicious, as well as a journey into the textural world of unagi. The perfect sizing, the... More

As far as unagi goes, this is the shop where the singularity can be found. I have not had to absorb as much information about a single species of fish as I had to on this day. Juicy, succulent, rich, flavourful and delicious, as well as a journey into the textural world of unagi. The perfect sizing, the perfect season and the perfect preparation for each changing day, I think that the shops in shizuoka and Tokyo still have some way to go before getting to this level. Singularity.

割烹 渡辺

Tucked away in a quiet part of Niigata, this was one of my highlights for kappo last year. Understated, but well seasoned and delicious. The dashi is on the more flavourful side of things, but that's the way i like it. Crab dishes were as good as any crab senmon ten. Top level service and great local... More

Torisho Ishii

Consistently one of my favourite yakitori shops, despite being a bit of a hike to get to Osaka. Chouchin here is probably the highlight here, showcasing how a technically 'subpar' ingredient can be made to taste so good. Skewers tend to feature a variety of chicken breeds, but the precision is high... More

Chouchin here is probably the highlight here, showcasing how a technically 'subpar' ingredient can be made to taste so good. Skewers tend to feature a variety of chicken breeds, but the precision is high here, so each piece hits the highs. Max boom.

Hotly anticipated and well worth the wait. Japanese style Italian cuisine at the high end of the spectrum has been in high demand due to the lack of shops that do it well.

Hotly anticipated and well worth the wait. Japanese style Italian cuisine at the high end of the spectrum has been in high demand due to the lack of shops that do it well. This is gradually changing though, and when you go to one of the pioneers of the current movement, this shop sits discretely in the upper echelons. Despite the challenges to book this shop, is one of my favourites at the moment in this category. Food has robust flavours, meats are cooked to perfection and service is impeccable.

One of the few unpretentious places in Kyoto where food is the highlight. Don't get me wrong, it is pretty hard to book and it isn't quite in the centre of Kyoto, so getting here is half the journey.

One of the few unpretentious places in Kyoto where food is the highlight. Don't get me wrong, it is pretty hard to book and it isn't quite in the centre of Kyoto, so getting here is half the journey. But the problem with a lot of 'difficult to book' shops in Kyoto is that they just satisfy a certain demographic with mediocrity. There are no compromises here in the Ingredients though and the cooking is spot on. Chef worked at a range of top restaurants around the world and i think that really helps differentiate things here. Highly recommended.

鮨三心

My favourite sushi place right now. Pinpoint precision, creative and a place where everyone including the staff are enjoying themselves. Seasonality shows through perfectly and presentation skills at 100%. This time, octopus and ikura were the bomb... super max boom.

- Kevin Chen added a new meal Dinner at 藤原鮮魚・urashima at uRashiMa Pizza
I dont really want to queue for 45 minutes for a mediocre pizza in Tokyo, nor do I want to pay 150 bucks for expensive hotel pizza. I don't mind taking the long journey to get a breath of fresh air and to taste pizza from the best. 450kg oven imported from Italy and using the top local ingredients... super chilled place which sits at my goto places...

I don't mind taking the long journey to get a breath of fresh air and to taste pizza from the best. 450kg oven imported from Italy and using the top local ingredients... super chilled place which sits at my goto places for pizza in Japan. The hike is well worth it.

Modestly under the radar place located in Hiroo with a chef who worked at Tacubo previously. Understandably high expectations for grilling, the meats definitely dont disappoint. Pin point perfection for cooking, with that beautiful color all the way through to the center. Pastas are not shabby either with large portions to satisfy the carbo cravings. Service has continually improved over the past couple times I've been also, and this place has one of the nicest vibes in Tokyo.

A relatively new place in the growing Fukuoka sushi scene, this place was one of the highlights of my year end mileage mission last year. Yoneshima-san errs on the modern style of things, especially with his otsumami creations. Nigiri is well balanced, utilising good quality fish as expected. In addition,... More

Yoneshima-san errs on the modern style of things, especially with his otsumami creations. Nigiri is well balanced, utilising good quality fish as expected. In addition, top level service and expansive wine cellars are the cherries on top of the pie. Well priced also considering what many other shops are charging these days.
