Les Créations de NARISAWA, French in Aoyama
I first heard the name Restaurant Narisawa a long time ago, but I never felt a strong urge to go. It’s not bad value for the price, but if you only tried to hit the must-visit special restaurants (Quinte…

The theme of this Tokyo trip was Spanish food. If you want to eat Spanish food, the right thing is obviously to go to Spain, but with my line of work there is no way I could ever get enough time off to spend t…

Mokran is a Chinese restaurant that offers outstanding value for money. I went a few times back when it was in Apgujeong, but this was my first visit since it moved to Seodaemun. We started with fried dumplin…
Back from Japan, I joined the gourmet group’s first get-together in a while, held at Namhae Bada. Lots of familiar faces, which was nice to see. Pomfret sashimi and hairtail sashimi This was my first …
