Contender for wine of the year already and definitely top 3 of the past 3 years. Most of the Musigny from Faiveley I have had to date are excellent, but shockingly young... and I have never had a lot of chance to find full appreciation for this wine.. until now. Stunning floral bouquet, cranberries, cherries and strawberries galore that is both as expressive and yet restrained at times. Palate is similarly gorgeous, with good acidity and purity. That length and concentration on the finish is like few others I have tasted. End game sorcery here... boom

久丹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consistently great meals here, this one from a few months back. Shirako and crab were on top form and the atmosphere was better than I remembered it. The thinly sliced awabi cuts in the soup were nicely balanced with the mellow dashi. Fine execution and one of the best meals I have had here.

- Kevin Chen added a new meal Dinner at 銀座大石 at Ginzaooishi (銀座 大石)
It has been a long, long time since I drank Penfolds, let alone Grange. The 1992 was a well made wine, with Syrah having found its integration with age. Not the most straight forward to guess in a blind taste, but the menthol, black currant and dark plum characters sat atop a wall of new oak. I concluded that this was just too young to drink and perhaps... More
It has been a long, long time since I drank Penfolds, let alone Grange. The 1992 was a well made wine, with Syrah having found its integration with age. Not the most straight forward to guess in a blind taste, but the menthol, black currant and dark plum characters sat atop a wall of new oak. I concluded that this was just too young to drink and perhaps in need of further mellowing. 1993 showed more oxidation and it was indeed not the most pristine bottle and the Cabernet characters were more dominant. Palate showed a lot cleaner than the nose and the madeirisation kind of come and went. More stewed plum, dark cherry, spice and earth. Maybe could have blown off, but we drank everything a bit too quickly.

An old school Kyoto style kaiseki shop in Toranomon. I've often seen mention of it but I have been a little bit reluctant to try it given the price points. Course menus start at around 50k and it isn't super clear what the difference is between the menus. We chose the middle menu, which seemed to offer some manageable expectations.. food is of a high standard, with some top quality ingredients such as shirako and crabs from fukui... a lot of chefs seem to visit this place late at night, and while I liked the place in general, marginal utility was almost non existent. To top it off, seems that the only difference against the menu that is 20k less was the duck.... which was also fantastic... but that's a ducking expensive duck. Definitely good to check it out as the chef definitely has skills in prepping.

ます田
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excited to try this place again after they closed down a couple of years ago. It's the same chef, different location and similar food. The neta was tasty, although I felt that previous place had a bit better balance with the shari... decent otsumami and a bit if a different vibe with the new digs.

Opened more than 10 years ago in a quiet suburb of Nagoya, this Italian restaurant has a young chef that trained in both French and Italian cooking at some of the best restaurants of its time. Balance between simplicity and refinement across the dishes... pasta and risotto dishes were good, although I wanted more hot pasta dishes! Good service even though they got my wine order wrong and chose the (much more) expensive bottle. Worth a hike if you haven't been before.

Just look past the theatrics, unless you live in Minato-ku and you are into that kind of thing 😎. If you are lucky enough to get a bit of the uni with the blue box... then it is kind of like winning a mini-lottery. It doesn't happen often unfortunately and the season is very limited...

One of my favourite yakitori places. The chochin is godly, cooked to perfection and particularly satisfying when those globules explode in your mouth. On this occasion, the skewers were better than I remembered from the previous time.. juicier, hotter and bigger pieces. So good.

Some wines for a friend's birthday. The 2012 Mouton was on form... dark cocoa, coffee, blueberries and dark cherries. Graphite laden but impactful and prolonged finish.. Nice smokey, gamey mid palate also. Definitely on the young side but already showing its potential. 1955 Vega Sicilia, only slight madeirisation but not unexpected given the wine.. dark spices, plum and tobacco encased in a wet and dark forest. For me, one of the best examples of the 55 I have tasted. Exceptional, long finish of vanilla, cigar and macerated cherries. Outstanding with beef.
