- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 多仁本 at Tanimoto
Tanimoto 多仁本 1st visit — a small kappo restaurant tucked in a back alley. Comforting and satisfying cuisine with premium ingredients (the maguro was literally delivered to the restaurant the moment the chef started preparing the dish). Loved the shirako kinmedai shabu. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 銀座しのはら at Ginza Shinohara
Ginza Shinohara 銀座しのはら 1st visit — one of the most highly rated kaiseki in Tokyo, the style kind of reminds me of Mizai, especially the beautifully presented almost flamboyant hassun. Really enjoyed the grilled dishes: duck, karasumi mochi and shirako. •

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! •
