A lovely evening of food and wine at @tinc_gana_tokyo with the always entertaining @jeromequilbeuf. I’m so addicted to this salmorejo.

Plus, the joy of cheese!

Always a pleasure to have dinner by @jeromequilbeuf. His modern Spanish restaurant @tinc_gana_tokyo is a great mix of flavor and technique, in a friendly and comfortable format. A great sibling to the more casual @gracia_tokyo.

Seasonal dishes mix with stalwarts to make a menu that’s always offering something new. The firefly squid were a particular standout on this visit. The paella onigiri is a great way to finish the meal, and the famous cheesecake is worth... More

Special thanks for having @champagnelelargepugeot on the list - such a great match with the food. Less

Lunch at TINC GANA

Chef Jerome Quilbeuf Is French but he spent almost all of his professional life working in Catalonia or for the famous Chef Carme Ruscalleda of San Pau in Tokyo.
He ist opened a casual a la carte restaurant in Toyko before moving to his restaurant Tinc Gana (I am hungry in Catalan).
There he serves Catalan fare heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine. The flavors still echo his heritage but the Japanese ingredients come through strongly.

Chef Jerome Quilbeuf Is French but he spent almost all of his professional life working in Catalonia or for the famous Chef Carme Ruscalleda of San Pau in Tokyo.

There he serves Catalan fare heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine. The flavors still echo his heritage but the Japanese ingredients come through strongly.
Highlight was the oyster course and of course the Iberian pork as main course. A cut from the neck, served in port wine sauce it is so dark and deep flavored that you would swear it is beef.
At ¥15,000 for the Omakase menu a steal.

Chef Jerome is a case study that when living in Japan one can hardly escape the power of the Japanese cuisine. Its traditions, ingredients and flavors creep into everyone’s cooking so that whatever ethnicity your cooking comes from, it always becomes a Japanese fusion food. Not that this a bad thing, quite the opposite.
