One of my regular visits in Tokyo for unagi. As usual went for the branded eel 坂東太郞 which represents excellent cost vs quality. Quality of unagi today is top notch - rich collagen and fat. Sake isn’t as a bargain as before though

Famous chestnut specialty store from Kansai with a lounge serving lunch and tea upstairs. Excellent ambience with nice quality food with a touch of Kyoto. Delicate and nice

Always top notch yakitori place - excellent skills and freshness. Love the shiroyaki as well as the rice. This time serving the soramame which is very seasonal, green and delicious!

Restaurant originates from Chubu that bought whole cow from Hida. Good quality beef, a touch too fat for me as even the akami got decent amount of fat. Would like to have more seasoning too but the beef sashimi and sushi are both nice.

茅場町・八丁堀 | 寿司
Very high quality sushi and maintained the level since moving to the new venue. Still underrated vs many big names in town. The octopus was lovely, same for many nigiris!

Excellent quality of Toyama sushi and great passion by Kimura-san. The 太巻 is one of the best for me!
赤坂 | 寿司
Famous branch of Mitani which is “possible” to make a reservation. Excellent quality sushi with lovely wine and sake pairing. A great experience and looking forward to come back.
銀座 | 寿司
Big consistent name internationally. Good quality with traditional skills though it lacks the personality and warmth from more intimate stores. Price on the high side for this quality

Chef has worked and trained in top class kaiseki restaurant. Excellent ambience and great quality of ingredients and services.
有楽町・日比谷 | 寿司
Top quality ingredients with accurate control of shari temperature. Many of the otsumami are exciting. Onigiri are great too though personally I find the shari are seasoned on the heavier side to my taste
上野・御徒町・湯島 | 洋食
Excellent tonkatsu! The pork is juicy and the batter is still dry and crispy. Very well made. Reasonably priced for this level of expertise
