- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at とく山 at Tokuyama (とく山)
Tokuyama とく山 2nd visit — cozy, casual, delicious, a great place to curb my fugu craving. Favorite was the juicy fried fugu, probably the best I’ve had! •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 片折 at Kataori
Another amazing meal at Kataori. All the ingredients were perfectly cooked and subtly seasoned to express their best natural flavors. Glad to see the Noto 115 shiitake again! •

L’atelier de Noto ラトリエ・ドゥ・ノト 1st visit — taking food trips to the next level: 2 hours delay + 1 hour flight to Wajima, the northern coastal town of Noto peninsula. I’ve always wanted to visit this relatively remote restaurant and finally made it. Most dishes worked well combining western techniques and local ingredients. First time trying the Noto115 shiitake, intense flavor and meaty texture, possibly the best (and most expensive) shiitake out there, although I’d prefer it by itself without the foie gras. Other highlights were crab risotto; amadai; and Noto beef. Overall a nice experience, worth at least one visit despite the location. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 浅草じゅうろく at Asakusa Juroku (浅草じゅうろく)
Asakusa 16 浅草じゅろく 1st visit — a traditional kappo restaurant known for its duck nabe and soba. Casual atmosphere and a lot of local regulars. Unfortunately no duck today but both the Kue (grouper) shabu and soba were delicious. Nice sake selection too. •

Toriki とり喜1st visit — located in Sumida district, quite highly rated and popular among locals. The skewers themselves are pretty good (except the shiitake which was a bit dry), and interesting to learn the proper way to debone the chicken wings. However, the service was very slow and inefficient, the meal took almost 3 hours which was probably the longest yakitori meal I’ve ever had. With only 13 skewers and no rice/noodle/etc at the end I was still a little hungry (although feeling healthy) •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 実伶 at Mirei (実伶)
Mirei 実伶 1st visit — 1 Michelin star kappo restaurant, casual with extensive a la carte options almost like a high end izakaya. Simple yet high quality cooking, nothing super fancy but very tasty. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 比良山荘 at Hirasanso
Hirasansou 比良山荘 2nd visit, the best season for some of my favorite ingredients: Moroko, Suppon, and of course Kuma nabe at it’s best! The only disappointment was that it was raining instead of snow, but still a beautiful place to visit. •
