- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 一平飯店 元麻布 at Ippei Hanten
A very enjoyable dinner at Ippei Hanten, pretty authentic flavor and a wide variety of dishes. Highlights were the shirako in vinegar sauce and the spicy beef pot. The grilled piglet was a little underwhelming as only 1 piece of the crispy skin was served. Great service in the private room.•

A luxurious dinner at Ginza Kazen 銀座嘉禅 featuring lobster, abalone, fukahire, and my favorite bear paw which was perfectly cooked and seasoned, full of collagen.•

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Atami at atami
I usually don’t care much for burgers but I was curious to try this place as it’s part of the Suetomi and Makitori Shinkobe group. The burger was grilled to perfection, but the sauce was a bit too sweet and lacked some acidity and spices (adding some pickles and jalapenos would have been nice).

I usually don’t care much for burgers but I was curious to try this place as it’s part of the Suetomi and Makitori Shinkobe group. The burger was grilled to perfection, but the sauce was a bit too sweet and lacked some acidity and spices (adding some pickles and jalapenos would have been nice). On the other hand, all the appetizers were great, especially the lily bulb chips. An interesting concept and fun experience but probably not worth revisiting.•

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at グルマンディーズ at Gourmandise (グルマンディーズ)
Finally got to try Gourmandise thanks to @sienna0603 — loved the family sharing style, the chef does everything by himself, it was almost like dining in his home. The dishes are unpretentious, perfectly cooked, and portions are very generous. Listening to the chef talking about his food, service, and guests was also very entertaining.•

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 鮨 あらい at Sushi Usui
A solid lunch at Sushi Shokunin Usui Hiroki 寿し職人 臼井裕紀 produced by Sushi Arai, this is supposed to be Chef Usui’s final training after 14 years at Sushi Arai before opening his own restaurant. Good service flow, classic style, highlight was the kuruma ebi presentation, with the shell peeled off in one piece. •

Finally made it to the origin of Taiza Kani 間人蟹 at the height of the season. 1 huge crab per person was super indulging and definitely more than enough. Sashimi, boiled, tempura, grilled, porridge.. Best crab meal so far this year •
