- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at SÉZANNE at SÉZANNE
Sezanne 1st visit — a new restaurant by chef Daniel Calvert @chezcalvert, former chef at Belon in HK. Well designed menu, the level of technique and execution was exceptional. Favorite dishes were Saba escabeche with hamaguri; Bizen Shamo chicken poached in yellow wine; and tagliatelle in truffle and Parmesan sauce. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 天ぷら銀屋 at Tempura Ginya
Tempura Ginya 天ぷら銀屋 1st visit — a 2 Michelin star tempura restaurant but somehow overlooked. Classic style and very good quality. The most impressive dish was Uni, dipped directly in batter instead of being wrapped in shiso leaf or nori, then fried to perfection. The moroko fish from Biwa lake was also delicious and rare. •

Kate cuore 1st visit — a 5.5 hour dinner from 7pm to 12:30am. The restaurant is located in the tiny town of Imari in Nagasaki, over 1 hour’s drive from Fukuoka. Everything here is made from scratch — cheese, bread, pasta, ice cream etc. The experience was like watching a cooking show by an extremely focused and passionate chef with great attention to detail. Food was well executed but we did get a bit tired towards the end.. better come for lunch next time. •

Tempura Niitome 天風良にい留 1st visit — one of the top rated tempura restaurants in Japan located in Nagoya, almost 2 hours trip one way just for this meal. Overall it lived up to my expectation. Chef was funny and enjoyed interaction with guests. The way he prepares the food was quite “free style”, borderline sloppy, but the resulting dishes were turned out to be perfect. Batter on each piece looked thick but it thins out in the fryer, the texture of every bite was refined and balanced. Favorite was the huge juicy oyster and the sweet potato tempura with ice cream — hands down the best dessert I’ve had in a tempura restaurant! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 【石垣吉田】ishigaki yoshida at Ishigaki Yoshida
Ishigaki Yoshida 石垣吉田 1st visit — high quality beef from Ishigaki, an island very close to Taiwan. Service was slightly slow but food was worth the wait. Favorite dish was the uni scrambled eggs with caviar, and you can never go wrong with finishing a meal with fukahire ramen! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 柳燕 at Japanese cuisine Ryuen
Ryuen 柳燕 1st visit — a new kappo restaurant with many good reviews on tabelog. A pretty decent meal, a lot of grilled ingredients. Although the duck was a bit too raw and I didn’t quite understand the maguro shabu.. reasonably priced and good sake selection •

Casual dinner in the hotel room. 10 Overnoy Savagnin was powerful and intense, searing acidity can be a bit aggressive in the beginning but doesn’t overpower the underlying saline and minerality. Will definitely benefit from a decade or two of cellaring for better integration, although it’s great with fried chicken right now. 96 Valentini Trebbiano... More
Casual dinner in the hotel room. 10 Overnoy Savagnin was powerful and intense, searing acidity can be a bit aggressive in the beginning but doesn’t overpower the underlying saline and minerality. Will definitely benefit from a decade or two of cellaring for better integration, although it’s great with fried chicken right now. 96 Valentini Trebbiano slightly corked but still got rich palate and intact structure, potentially a great wine.

Ginza Koko 炉 1st visit — classic Japanese style steakhouse, kinda similar to Vesta. Gyutan and foie gras was an interesting combination, salad was amazing. Too bad wine list and wine service were mediocre. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 祇園 呂色 at Gion Roiro
A colorful line up — Fac Simile LC17 was beautiful on the nose, rich strawberry palate with precise acidity. Nicely balanced and showing more autolytic and tertiary characters with air. 11 Le Clou was also interesting to try but the VA was too sharp..
