Another wonderful meal at Saito. Simply perfect. No wishes left.
(Swipe for more pics) Some of the ecstatic moments Saito san had with this truly amazing panettone from @thisisfromroy , Saito san himself and everyone had a slice and the consensus was “oishii!” . The texture was lighter than most and not dense, but the flavor was rich and not cloying. Even the chocolate chips they used seemed to be better than most places. Not that I have had a lot of panettone but just by tasting, I think it was exceptional. They actually have a collaboration with... More
(Swipe for more pics) Some of the ecstatic moments Saito san had with this truly amazing panettone from @thisisfromroy , Saito san himself and everyone had a slice and the consensus was “oishii!” . The texture was lighter than most and not dense, but the flavor was rich and not cloying. Even the chocolate chips they used seemed to be better than most places. Not that I have had a lot of panettone but just by tasting, I think it was exceptional. They actually have a collaboration with Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse to make a 2KG Triple Chcolate Panettone!
It was because it was so good that I decided to research about it, and my friend @charleschen66 who gave me this Panettone told me that the creator chef Roy Shvartzapel was featured in the podcast of @davidchang , @davidchangshow , exactly a month ago. His story was as amazing as his panettone. Chef Roy was inspired to be a NBA player but changed career to become a baker. He learnt his craft from Thomas Keller, Ferran Adria, Pierre Herme, and became fascinated by the panettone by PH, to the point where he went to Italy, knocked on the door of panettone master Iginio Massari, Pierre Herme’s teacher for panettone, to learn about the craft and art.
Chef Roy’s panettone are produced in small batches and sold online, and even without much marketing at the beginning it became a sensation just by the word of mouth. Now it is internationally regarded as some of the best panettone in the world. But the most inspiring thing is his work ethics and attitude, which you can learn from the podcast. There are too many overhyped products nowadays, it almost made my day when you have something worth the hype. The food world will be better if we have more products and chefs like this. As @lutangforever put it, “Chef Roy is a shokunin through and through”
I put the link of the podcast in my profile -> @little_meg_siu_meg . #thankyoubrother for the best Christmas treat and thank you Saito san for the Christmas sushi! Less
Love the tamago ?

Stunning meal my first time sitting in front of Saito-san, after dining at his Hong Kong outpost several times. So many fireworks, many emotional dishes.
Full account of the meal is here: https://www.diarygrowingboy.com/2019/03/tokyo-hop-march-2019-saito-with-saito.html
Another stunning success of Saito-san. The calibration of the nigiri components are just unparalleled.
The undisputed master of Edo-mae sushi
Very thankful that master sushi Chef Saito squeezed my son and me in.
Simple perfection.
