- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 徳山鮓 at Tokuyamazushi
Byo lunch at Tokuyamazushi. The funky funazushi calls for a funky wine and 00 Radikon Oslavje Fuori dal Tempo was just impressive. 60% Chardonnay 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 9 years bottle aging before release. The combination of skin contact, controlled oxidation and maturation made it taste almost like an old Barolo. Both Dujac and Mortet paired well with... More
Byo lunch at Tokuyamazushi.

The combination of skin contact, controlled oxidation and maturation made it taste almost like an old Barolo. Both Dujac and Mortet paired well with kuma nabe. A bottle of Tatsumi gin on the terrace after the meal was just the perfect ending to the trip!

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Restaurant koke at KOKE
Koke 1st visit — a new innovative restaurant in Kyoto with Spanish influence. Beautiful space reminiscent of the new Aca1 in Tokyo. Great service and accommodating staff. The dishes were original and well executed. Loved the green pee with soy custard, boiled cabbage and the final tomato congee/risotto, which reminded me of gumbo. Great potential.... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 木山 at Kiyama
Kiyama 2nd visit — this time even better than the last! Love how particular Kiyama san is about his dashi, blending 3 different types of katsuobushi together for a more complex and balanced flavor. The tamago kake gohan topped with anago at the end was both original and delicious. Great wine and sake selection too. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 片折 at Kataori
Kataori 片折 3rd visit — best experience here so far. Loved how Kataori san showcased the color and purity of late spring ingredients. The botan ebi was huge and sweet; first time seeing so many live hotaru ika simply boiled in dashi, pure taste of the ocean and umami. •

Unis 1st visit — ex-Sugalabo chef, beautiful interior featuring a large kitchen counter on center stage. Lighting, music and projected images change throughout the meal to enhance the experience. An interesting experience overall, great for special occasions but perhaps too much focus on the space instead of the food itself. Favorite dish was the hokkigai salad, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Wine list could use some improvement. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at おみ乃 押上 at Yakitori Omino
Yakitori Omino おみ乃 2nd visit — enjoyed it much more than the first time (mostly because it was summer last time, the space was crowded and a/c was weak). All the skewers grilled to perfection, juicy and not overly seasoned. Highlights were seseri, shokudo and eggplant. •
