One of my favourites in Japan, the chochin is always the highlight and is ridiculously good. Juicy, flavourful and cooked perfectly.. one of my favourite chochins.

The burger (not pictured) changes regularly and is a nice dish to have as an otsumami, andd more or less gives you a taste of the skewers to come. Love the atmosphere and service is always top notch.

Pretty rare for me to drink/post Bordeaux, but i felt that from an experiential perspective, this is worth a reflection. All wines were served blind today, and these were in a flight alongside the 2016 Le Pin. I got pretty close to guess the vintages and the 84 was in particularly good shape.. coffee, leather and tea driven with a plummy core. 73 was definitely on the way down and out... tired and somewhat light on the palate, with the vintage character coming through. 2016 was indeed a rather good wine.. infanticide to drink, but the finesse and backbone on this suggests some pretty strong potential down the line. Dark berry, cocoa, tobacco and spice... silky tannins and a really extensive finish. Tough against the 2016 Le Pin, which was absolutely textbook. Anyway, I think I reached my allocation of drinking BDX this year. In all seriousness though, it has been a long long time since I have done verticals of Bordeaux, let alone Petrus... its quite striking to see the change against more modern winemaking, in both good and bad ways. Interesting vertical.

Another place that kind of sits on the outskirts of Fukuoka in Kasuga. Now run by the 2nd gen taisho, who spent a bit of time in Monaco before taking over the family business. The otsumami were excellent.. using ingredients that, even though aren't in season, were delicious. The neta are all high quality and this shop has a strong focus on the sourcing and preparation of the shari. Even though it was lighter than expected, I was pretty happy with it. At 2+ hours for lunch, it isn't a grab and go kind of place!

This was quite early in the season so it was not there but we couldn't complain whilst having some nice matsutakes to feast on. Consistently top for food, crab season is really the best time to go at its peak.

High quality otsumami, especially the fugu dish which was awesome.. the neta comes largely from the local area, with a modest but well balanced akazu vinegar base. Quite good costpa for lunch, with the meal coming in around 6k or so. Worth the trip down there, especially if you happen to be hanging out in Saga.

A shop that seems to divide opinion quite a bit in comparison to its other shop up on. The atmosphere is totally different, as is the pace of the meal. Personally, I prefer this branch as the service is top notch and on this particular occasion, the food hit the top notes. Not as rushed and the seating is much more comfortable by several magnitudes. That nankotsu was boom level skewerism. 👌👌

Tucked away just by the gates of Nanzenji, I was curious to try this place out. High quality otsumami, comparable to that if when I visited Saeki-san in Tokyo a couple of years ago. For me, the shari was on the light side, often overpowered by the nikiri and neta. Overall, service was great and the view of the gardens is indeed quite a nice sight until it gets dark. Interesting crowd, with generally a younger demographic in attendance.

Even though the blotting paper showed some decent amounts of oil, I never once felt that any of the tempura pieces were too oily. Each piece of ebi was like a work of art in its unreal appearance, and yet tasty.

There aren't that many decent kaiseki / kappo restaurants in Osaka, and this is one of the few really good experiences i have had for this type of restaurant there. Really nice array of preparations, with stronger flavours that I generally prefer. And once any restaurant serves a nice golden colored egg yolk with shoyu and rice, I'm basically sold! There are an incredible array of sakes here and I would go as far as saying that the sake selection is perhaps the most interesting that I have come across to date. Make sure you get the counter seat!
