- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Giovanni GINZA at Jyovanni (ジョヴァンニ)
Giovanni ジョヴァンニ 2nd visit — the prosciutto nigiri and fritto was a great start like last time. Favorite this time was the Ise ebi with karasumi powder, olive oil and liver sauce; and the egg yolk karasumi soba (I just love karasumi). Wine pairing here is great value as it’s practically all you can drink. •

Reminiscence Nagoya レミニセンス 1st visit — one of the top French restaurants in Nagoya, definitely lived up to its reputation every dish was well executed, with unusual combinations of complex but balanced flavors.

Yoshino 吉乃 New York 1st visit — the hottest sushi spot in New York right now by Tadashi Yoshida san, the acclaimed master from Nagoya, who recently relocated to NYC. It’s not that easy to get ingredients of the same quality level outside of Japan but the standard here is quite high. Otsumami showed some western influence, while the nigiris were traditional. Shari started slightly salty and mushy, became more integrated and balanced towards the end. Friendly atmosphere and good wine service. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 銀座 やまの辺 at Ginza Yamanobe Edo Chuka
Ginza Yamanobe 銀座やまの辺 2nd visit — love the Matsutake & Shanghai crab season! The Matsutake consommé was super concentrated, even better than eating the mushroom. Hairy crab roe and fukahire was an indulgent combination which hits the spot. Finally the 30-year Shanghai Hi-story was probably the best Shaoxing wine I’ve ever had, almost... More

Hairy crab roe and fukahire was an indulgent combination which hits the spot. Finally the 30-year Shanghai Hi-story was probably the best Shaoxing wine I’ve ever had, almost like a well balanced Oloroso. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Torien-nyc at Torien
Torien 1st visit — the hottest yakitori restaurant in NYC by Torishiki Tokyo. Good yakitori experience outside of Japan, skewers were well grilled and seasoned, though the bite size was slightly too big in some dishes and there weren’t many rare cuts. Highlight was the white truffle chicken broth ramen, intense and satisfying. •

Onsen: 9/10 (private outdoor onsen, public onsen)
Other facilities: 8/10 (restaurant, spa, shop)
Food: 6/10
Wine/sake list: 6/10
Service: 10/10
Foreigner friendliness: 10/10 (English speaking staff)
Overall: 80/100
Pros: historical ryokan opened in 1885; beautiful ocean view of Nanao Bay; spacious room with private outdoor onsen on the patio (Rikyu VIP room 1F); convenient access by train
Cons: it’s a large ryokan so it doesn’t feel like very exclusive or private; food was a bit underwhelming especially given that it’s located on Noto peninsula, where some of the best ingredients in Japan come from

Makinonci マキノンチ 1st visit — rebranding of the renowned French Cuisine Makino, 2 Michelin stars. The restaurant is located halfway up Mt Utatsu in Kanazawa, offering beautiful view of sunset over the city. Dishes are quite innovative, with interesting twists here and there. Favorite was the baked matsutake and anago served with egg yolk sauce; and the grilled suppon. The main duck dish was good but nothing too special and the portion was quite big, so was the chestnut strudel dessert which I couldn’t finish.. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Atomix NYC at Atomix
65 Cappellano — classic matured Barolo: rose, tar, dried herbs, lifted palate and resolved tannins. Though lighter body than expected and fruit started to fade after a couple hours.
11 Tremblay Chapelle — elegant floral nose, rich fruit, velvety palate, good depth and density. Amazing effort despite the weak vintage.
