Oniku Karyu おにく花柳 1st visit — a 1 Michelin star wagyu restaurant with only 4 counter seats and 2 private rooms, the atmosphere is very intimate. It’s the start of the Matsutake season so I was happy to seem some huge mushrooms being served (though the aroma intensity was lacking a bit). Very high quality beef, favorite dish was the beef...

Oniku Karyu おにく花柳 1st visit — a 1 Michelin star wagyu restaurant with only 4 counter seats and 2 private rooms, the atmosphere is very intimate. It’s the start of the Matsutake season so I was happy to seem some huge mushrooms being served (though the aroma intensity was lacking a bit). Very high quality beef, favorite dish was the beef shin stew, rich flavor and perfectly tender texture. Only complaint was the mediocre wine list, better byo. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at アルシミスト / Alchimiste at Les Alchimistes
Alchimiste アルシミスト 2nd visit — 1st time at this new location featuring high ceiling and open kitchen, which gives the restaurant completely different character. Favorite dish was the KFC style abalone, perfect texture and seasoning. Although the wine list seemed less extensive than before.. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at みもっと at Thai Cuisine Mymot
Mymot みもっと 1st visit — a cute little Thai restaurant opened two years ago, chef is a nice young lady who used to live in Bangkok. Authentic flavors with some local twists, tasty but not too heavy. Also some fun natural wine pairings. Great value, highly recommended. @mymot •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Mimosa at Mimosa
Mimosa ミモザ 1st visit — modern Shanghainese cuisine, 1 Michelin star. Casual and cozy. Dishes were well presented but lacked some balance, a few were a bit too sweet for me. A decent place for casual gathering but could have been better had they allowed byo. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at L'évo at L'evo (レヴォ)
L’evo 1st visit — located deep in the mountains of Toyama prefecture, not easy to get to but absolutely worth the trip. Both the cottage and it’s interior has got this Nordic flair. Dishes are quite complex, main ingredients sometimes hidden or destructed. Favorite dish was the goat cheese somen, an unusual combination which worked out perfectly.... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Choyo (趙楊) at Choyo
Choyo 趙楊 1st visit — Szechuan cuisine, most dishes are quite authentic and tasty though some of them were prepared with very similar sauce. Loved the drunken crab, twice cooked pork and Mapo tofu.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at すし佐竹 - Sushi Satake at Satake
Sushi Satake すし佐竹 1st visit —a highly rated restaurant closed 2 years ago and recently reopened. I really enjoyed the intense akazu shari served at slightly warmer temperature. The huge chunk of abalone was very satisfying and the texture of the kujira was unbelievable! Definitely worth a try. @sushisatake •
