- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 晴山 at Seizan
A famous restaurant that really lived up to all the praise I’d heard over the years. Quietly confident, excellent technique, sublime flavors. I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend with regular counter seats; alas I wasn’t able to reserve my own for next time... a common problem at the top end of Japanese gastronomy. Nonetheless, I will endeavor... More
A famous restaurant that really lived up to all the praise I’d heard over the years. Quietly confident, excellent technique, sublime flavors. I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend with regular counter seats; alas I wasn’t able to reserve my own for next time... a common problem at the top end of Japanese gastronomy. Nonetheless, I will endeavor to return as soon as I can. Special thank you to @davidkinch for being the first to tell me to come here, years ago. Less

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 末廣鮨 at Suehirozushi
Suehiro Sushi. Shimizu city, Shizuoka Prefecture. A long standing restaurant in a port town that gets first pick of a lot of good seafood, I had a feast of pristine ingredients from the 80+yr old head chef. Interestingly, it was almost all sashimi and cooked dishes, but I certainly wasn’t complaining. I regret not bringing a bigger appetite after... More

Nice easy little italian course menu. Peach pasta sounded odd but was absolutely delicious. Nice vintage wine list, too.

This is becoming a very regular spot for me. @jeromequilbeuf seems to be having a great time making excellent food. Sit at the counter. Get the cheesecake.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 虎ノ門横丁 at Toranomon Yokocho
A crawl through Tokyo’s newest food hall, @toranomon_yokocho Despite being hidden in a glass tower, this lively space is a collection of outposts of many well-known restaurants. I went on Monday, so I couldn’t try Kirakutei or Birdland’s offshoots, but had a great roving dinner with wine from @andivietnamese, Spanish bites... More
A crawl through Tokyo’s newest food hall, @toranomon_yokocho Despite being hidden in a glass tower, this lively space is a collection of outposts of many well-known restaurants. I went on Monday, so I couldn’t try Kirakutei or Birdland’s offshoots, but had a great roving dinner with wine from @andivietnamese, Spanish bites and sherry from Plancha Zurriola, and killer sausage tonkatsu and orange wine from @nao.tirpse Finished off with chocolate and cocktails at Mixology’s new bar, @mementomori_toranomon. Next time, the Thai and Chinese options are up. A serious new casual dining destination. I recommend getting there early, and a few spots allow reservations, which are quickly becoming essential.

- Justin Hurst added a new meal Dinner at 焼鳥今井 at Yakitori Imai
When it came time to decide where to eat on my first birthday in Tokyo, it was a very tough choice. But in the end, it had to be @yakitoriimai. Always delicious, and a place of many auspicious meetings for me. They did a wonderful job, as usual.

Naruse. Tempura perfection. In addition to being utterly delicious, watching the chef work was a masterclass in itself. Part 2.

Absolutely fantastic dinner at @abysserestaurant An all-seafood tasting menu in a spare, serene space. Perfect wine pairings, some quite esoteric, all well aged. Spotless service. Going on my “must” list.

It was my extreme good luck to snag a cancellation at Shinohara. Another wonderful meal, just so playful and delicious. Some snapshots of mid-summer.
