Taheizushi 太平寿し 1st visit — located in Nonoichi, 20 minutes outside of Kanazawa. Traditional storefront and interior, very friendly chef and staff, relaxed atmosphere, feels like a place where locals love to visit. Both otsumami and nigiri were delicious, showcasing the ingredients unique to Hokuriku. Favorites were Akanishigai and shako full of eggs. A fun place and great value. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 鮨 猪股 at Sushi Inomata
Akazu aged sushi and red burgs are perfect match.
01 Bizot VR 1er— elegant floral, spicy nose, juicy palate. Not extremely concentrated but amazing purity and precision.
97 Engel GE — started a bit musty and advanced, got fresher with time but VA was overpowering. Not the best Engel but works with the akazu shari.

97 Engel GE — started a bit musty and advanced, got fresher with time but VA was overpowering. Not the best Engel but works with the akazu shari.
13 Vougeraie Mazoyeres — the most powerful and muscular of the three, though still managed to maintain balance with juicy fruit, subtle spices and oak extract. A very decent effort from a big company.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at 焼肉X at YAKINIKU TEN
Nishiazabu Yakiniku Ten 焼肉X 1st visit — a high end wagyu restaurant specializing in beef tongue. Private rooms only, good service and decent wine list. The freshly made sesame oil was a nice touch, and it was interesting to taste 4 different cuts of Tajima beef tongue, grilled and shabu shabu. A bit price but worth a try. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Ji-Cube at Ji-Cube (Ji-Cube)
Ji-Cube ジーキューブ 1st visit — nee Chinese restaurant by ex 4000 Chinese chef. Combination of Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine, typical Japanese style Chinese so some dishes were a bit too sweet for me. Highlight was the Matsutake fukahire, the aroma and flavor of Matsutake came through surprisingly well even with the thick sauce. •

Jinen. 1st visit — the newest addition to the Ishikawa group. Nice setting of a long dining room with a semi-private section and view of the backyard, almost like someone’s living room. The final preparation of most dishes were done at a station in the dining room by chef Kato san (who used to work at Noma and INUA), which was interesting to watch. Favorite dishes were the abalone somen, quail with rice and quail egg, and mushroom risotto. Good wine list too. •

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. •
