- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Tempura Mikawa Zezankyo at Mikawa Zezankyo (みかわ 是山居)
Mikawa Zezankyo みかわ是山居 1st visit — for many people chef Satome san is to tempura as Jiro Ono is to sushi. In his 70s, Satome san’s style is quite traditional and rustic. Highlights were shirako and anago. To be honest I prefer the lighter and more modern style for tempura but huge respect for the chef. •

Pros: easy access to gondola and bus stop; private semi open air onsen on balcony; dedicated ski room and dry room; very good service
Cons: very limited wine/sake choices; though comfortable and well appointed this is not really a luxury ryokan, I wouldn’t come all the way just to stay here but for skiing in Hakuba this is perhaps the best option.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at ふぐ福治 at Fugu Fukuji
Fugu Fukuji ふぐ福治 1st visit — casual setting, friendly staff, great service. A simpler version of fugu course compared to Tokuyama but delicious and satisfying. Fugu shabu was cooked table side by staff, 4 different cuts followed by rice porridge. Gotta get as much fugu as I can when it’s in season! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 未在 at MIZAI
Mizai 未在 2nd visit — as good as the first time. Really enjoyed the takenoko and wakame dashi. For me two important qualities of an outstanding kaiseki meal are the balance and profoundness of the dashi; and the presentation, complexity and creativity of the hassun. Mizai excels in both. Loved the beautiful sake carafes and glasses too. Wish food... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Il Pregio at Il Pregio
Il Pregio イル プレージョ 1st visit — a little bit hit and miss but overall a good meal. The amuse bouche was a bit bland and the pumpkin foie gras as too sweet. The other dishes were quite good, especially the gyutan antipasti, kinmedai and pasta with fermented green pepper sauce. Wine list was decent but not particularly interesting. •
