Highlights this time were shrimp head (crispy outside with juicy flavorful guts inside), eggplant (tasted amazing raw, so sweet that it’s more like a fruit than a vegetable) and sweet corn (crunchy and refreshing). The texture of the soba was perfect, though it was quite a lot of food (and sake) for lunch. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 虎峰 at Koho (虎峰)
Koho 虎峰 2nd visit — enjoyed it more than the first time as the menu was better designed, flavors were robust but well balanced and wine pairing got more interesting. The staff was energetic and service was great! @koho_roppongi •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 樋口 at Higuchi (樋口)
Higuchi 3rd visit — still my favorite kaiseki restaurant in Tokyo. Summer is all about eels and ayu! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at とり茶太郎 at Tori Chataro (とり茶太郎)
Tori Chataro とり茶太郎 1st visit — interesting to see both chicken and guineafowl being served. Loved the yolk/chicken wing/grilled cheese combination. The skewers were richly flavored but slightly drying. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at マノワ at Restaurant MANOIR (レストラン マノワ)
Manoir マノワ 1st visit — classic decor and French cuisine with focus on game. Both portion sizes and seasoning are on the heavier side for Japanese standard. Good value hearty meal and very decent wine list. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 荒木町 の弥七 at Noyashichi
Noyashichi の弥七 2nd visit — this time the dishes were milder and more Cantonese compared to the first time where more Szechuan dishes were served. The braised fukahire and awabi was tasty though slightly watery. Crab fried rice was perfectly cooked. •

Ginza Bia 美会 1st visit — tucked away in a small back alley in Ginza, casual, almost a little quirky setting, fusion of Thai spices and Japanese ingredients showing the owner’s Thai roots. Uni with lemongrass sauce was an interesting combination. The curry rice was tasty but on the sweet side. Overall interesting concept and good quality food,... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at マノワ at Restaurant MANOIR (レストラン マノワ)
13 Roumier Bussiere — dark fruit dominant, firm, concentrated and muscular
88 Louis Remy CdlR — first vintage under Chantal Remy. Nicely aged, light bodied, rustic old school style, still got some juicy fruit. Interesting bottle.
11 Miriors Les Saugettes Poulsard — I do appreciate the purity and elegance but the price tag is just too irrational.
