Isshinzushi Koyo 一心鮨 光洋 1st visit — the most highly rated restaurant in Miyazaki. Meal started with quite a lot of otsumami dishes, seasoning was on the lighter side.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Taller Arzuaga at Taller Arzuaga
99 Tondonia Blanco — quite evolved with oxidative and tertiary honey nutty notes, rich palate with phenolic grip, good concentration but not much primary fruit left.
19 Comando G El Tamboril — expressive floral nose, red cherry, spices and herbs. Great tension on the palate from chalky tannins, minerality and fresh acidity. Very pleasant to drink... More
99 Tondonia Blanco — quite evolved with oxidative and tertiary honey nutty notes, rich palate with phenolic grip, good concentration but not much primary fruit left.
19 Comando G El Tamboril — expressive floral nose, red cherry, spices and herbs. Great tension on the palate from chalky tannins, minerality and fresh acidity. Very pleasant to drink at this stage, might benefit from a few more years in the bottle to gain some weight.

Tonoya Yo とおの屋要 1st visit — located in Tono, Iwate, 3 hours Shinkansen plus 1 hour local train, quite a long journey for food. The restaurant is also a guesthouse which accommodates only 1 group per day for up to 6 people. Chef Sasaki san is an outstanding rice grower, sake brewer and fermentation artist. The fermented ingredients he uses include cheese, cured ham, miso, nato, pickled veggies, etc. the flavors are gentle and clean, where the fermentation brings out complexity and umami but never too pungent or overpowering. Some highlights were: pasta with homemade bacon, fermented pork (熟鮓) chawanmushi; and the miso soup served at breakfast was possibly the best I’ve ever had. Service was warm and attentive, the entire experience was truly refreshing. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 鳥おか at Torioka (鳥おか)
Torioka 鳥おか 1st visit - despite being located in a shopping mall, this place is quite authentic and high quality. Spacious, comfortable U-shape counter, byo friendly. Not so many rare cuts but all the skewer were well seasoned and grilled. Nice place for a casual gathering. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 明寂 at Myoujaku
Myoujyaku 明寂 1st visit — I was very impressed by this new kaiseki place (Sazenka group) understated decoration, simple and elegant presentation, balanced and profound flavors. Loved the suppon chawanmushi and the torigai nabe. The housho maki at the end was one of the best Japanese desserts I’ve had in a while. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 柳家 at 柳家肉燥飯
Yanagiya 柳家 2nd visit — early summer ingredients include hachinoko (bee larvae); Sakura masu; wild boar; Ezo deer and wild unagi. Great experience again but not as exciting as winter offerings. Looking forward to the next visit during mushroom season. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at ガッルーラ at Cucina Italiana Gallura
Cucina Italiana Gallura ガッルーラ 1st visit — highly rated Italian restaurant in Nagoya. Cozy, intimate interior, kinda like a classic bistro. Pasta and risotto dishes were great, but nothing super memorable. Portions were on the lighter side, I was only 70% full after the meal. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 恵比寿 希鳥 焼鳥コースとワイン at Ebisu Kicho
Ebisu Kicho 希鳥 1st visit — some pretty good skewers and byo friendly. The caviar and truffle from the more expensive course were a bit gimmicky, regular course recommended. •

Ten Yokota 天よこた 1st visit — opened just over a year ago and already got a Michelin star. Very friendly chef (the son of the previous owner of 天冨良 よこ田) who speaks good English. Style of tempura is quite refined with some original twists such as curry salt in addition to regular salt. Favorite was the shiitake with shrimp meat, umami overload. A very enjoyable meal overall, definitely worth the star. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 茂松 at Shigematsu (茂松)
Shigematsu 茂松 1st visit — 1 Michelin star, somewhat under the radar. Bold flavors and very big portions, almost felt like I was back in the States. Would have preferred every dish at 1/2-1/3 of the size with a bit more finesse and variations. •
