A great washoku place that hasnt been open all that long and has a strong following, but I'm a bit torn as to whether or not I'm really into this place or not. There are those who seem to call this one of the top 3 or 4 shops in Tokyo serving this type of cuisine. For me, the creativity given the normal... More

A great washoku place that hasnt been open all that long and has a strong following, but I'm a bit torn as to whether or not I'm really into this place or not. There are those who seem to call this one of the top 3 or 4 shops in Tokyo serving this type of cuisine. For me, the creativity given the normal boundary conditions of this cuisine is superb.. chef doesn't feel the need to conform to any peer expectations and rather, sets his own style.. this I truly respect. I do feel, however, despite the high level of cooking, i feel that my palate doesn't quite find the rhythm here and I am often looking for a different partial differential that can better define this.

- Kevin Chen added a new meal Dinner at 新橋 星野 at Shimbashi Hoshino (新ばし 星野)
新ばし 星野

A place that diehard washoku lovers rave about a lot. Rightly so in that within the Kyoaji lineage, I would say this shop pushes the modernity in flavour a bit more than some of his counterparts, so i would put this pretty high on my list from this lineage. Presentation is straight up, focused on... More

A place that diehard washoku lovers rave about a lot. Rightly so in that within the Kyoaji lineage, I would say this shop pushes the modernity in flavour a bit more than some of his counterparts, so i would put this pretty high on my list from this lineage. Presentation is straight up, focused on ingredients and flavour. Sometimes when Hoshino-san feels it is appropriate, dishes are just simply tempura'd.. following a trend that I notice more and more at some top washoku places. I am a big fan of tempura but I do feel that more than 1 tempura dish in a washoku course is a little out of place. Nonetheless, tasty dishes and good service. Taisho takes a bit of time to warm up, but he does so throughout the course of the meal.

鮨おおが

One of my favourite places for tuna. Varying cuts of chuutoro ranging from setoro, chiaigishi and senaka are topped onto generous globs of shari. Some would argue this nigiri is on the larger side of things but I find the overall satisfaction to be outstanding. Well seasoned neta and a dash of deep,... More

One of my favourite places for tuna. Varying cuts of chuutoro ranging from setoro, chiaigishi and senaka are topped onto generous globs of shari. Some would argue this nigiri is on the larger side of things but I find the overall satisfaction to be outstanding. Well seasoned neta and a dash of deep, intense nikiri to finish off the art piece. His otsumami is also up there, and I would rate this above most tuna treatment in Tokyo.

One or the highlights of this trip. Helmed by a couple of guys who worked at some well known places previously, this restaurant showcases dishes without any bells and whistles, instead focusing on sheer quality and flavours. Every single dish was delicious, focused and I guess if there was a top notch izakaya on Oslo, this would be it. Cool music vibes and awesome wines to match... this place hit the spot in all fronts. Max boom!

Wines and dessert were as impactful as the food. It was a beautiful rainy evening, and it added an extra dimension to the entire expedition experience, allowing for some additional time indoors to demolish the rather outstanding lineup of wines. Malm and Melder was superb as a dessert and the pickled spruce shoot tartlet was also excellent. Let's not forget the pre-dining experience which was well-produced and had enough content to set the tone of what was to come!

The 1834 Madeira was mind-blowing, and DRC GE was steps above the CC for me...

For the pièce de resistance, we took a long journey to Iris. A highly anticipated visit, this place is all about experience, sustainability and quality. I normally have low expectations for these restaurants as they often focus on gimmicks rather than substance. Iris defies expectations by focusing on the details and execution. Outstanding local produce, pretty much all sourced from the surrounding area to showcase the diversity that can be found here. Not shy on flavours, each dish was as good as the last.. top notch service from all and really awesome dishes. The entire 6 hours or so we spent there was purposeful and memorable, with each step adding to the previous one. Max Boom!

Started the Norway trip with Hyde, based in the same shop that housed the legendary Pjoltergeist a few years back.. course menu dining with a large number of Japanese inspirations with almost each dish featuring some variation of a Japanese ingredient. Solid presentation and execution starting with some discrete flavours before showcasing ingredient driven dishes. Great, bar-esque vibe with a cool wine list to match, with great somm recs.
