- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at お料理 佐藤 at Oryori Sato (お料理 佐藤)
Sato 佐藤 1st visit — trucked in a quiet street near Kokura station, stepping into the restaurant felt like stepping back in time. Traditional decor and a U-shaped counter that makes it easy to watch Sato san preparing the dishes. Seasonal ingredients included two types of whitebaits, fugu, crab and early season bamboo shoot.

Sato 佐藤 1st visit — trucked in a quiet street near Kokura station, stepping into the restaurant felt like stepping back in time. Traditional decor and a U-shaped counter that makes it easy to watch Sato san preparing the dishes. Seasonal ingredients included two types of whitebaits, fugu, crab and early season bamboo shoot. Some sake were served in vintage baccarat crystal glasses. Friendly and relaxing atmosphere, overall a very pleasant experience.•

The oyster & watercress pasta was delicious. Though I was expecting more of a cooking show behind the counter given the name and the concept of the restaurant, instead, most dishes were prepared in the kitchen inside. •

L’appartamento Di Naoki 1st visit — had high expectations for this place as the chef has been doing a lot of collaborations with other high profile restaurants recently. All dishes smelt amazing when they were being prepared but on the palate they were always missing something (salt perhaps).. wine list wasn’t very exciting neither. Favorite dish was the tomato tartare and mozzarella, which was perfectly seasoned. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at くすのき at Tempura Kusunoki Nagoya
Kusunoki くすのき 2nd visit — this place remains my favorite tempura restaurant in Tokyo so far and the winter menu is even more amazing than my last visit: crab, tora fugu and shirako 3 ways (grilled, boiled and tempura). Seasonings included salt, mushroom purée and daikon daishi sauce, which are on the lighter side but complements perfectly... More

Seasonings included salt, mushroom purée and daikon daishi sauce, which are on the lighter side but complements perfectly the airy and weightless texture of tempura here. •

NK (Nanpeidai Kakuland) 1st visit — the newest addition to the Ishikawa group which shares the same location (different entrance) with Ishikawa. Comfortable and relaxing setting; great service, staff was very accommodating; the food exceeded my expectations too. Japanese, French and Chinese techniques were all utilized. Loved the braised shiitake + fukahire and the saffron kani rice, especially the final serving with shrimp curry. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at すし匠齋藤 at Sushi Sho Saito (すし匠 齋藤)
Sushi Sho Saito すし匠斎藤 1st visit — quite modern and innovative in style, otsumami were served in between nigiris in a natural flow. Both red and white vinegar are used for shari depending on the neta, overall good balance. The chef used to live in New York and is very pleasant to talk to. •

Matoi Zushi纏鮨 1st visit — loved the old school charm. Almost half of the meal was otsumami, which I enjoyed a lot. Nigiris were somewhat rustic but flavors were robust. This is how edomae sushi is supposed to be — so I was told. It definitely felt like stepping back in time watching the 70+ years old master working in front of you. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 片折 at Kataori
Kataori 片折 2nd visit — I was even more impressed by the natural flow of the courses and the purity of the ingredients than the first time. Highlights were shirako on ice; freshly caught maguro slightly cut to soften the texture; and grilled shiitake which smelled like heaven. Looking forward to next time! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Villa AiDA at Villa Aida (ヴィラ・アイーダ)
Villa AiDA 2nd visit — went for lunch last time, the villa has a completely different charm at night. Food was great as always, mostly winter root vegetables and some early spring herbs. The ultimate farm to table experience focused on the purity of the ingredients grown in their own backyard. •
