Cerise by Gordon Ramsay
‘Parmesan ice cream’ was the first thing I heard when our first dish arrived, but it was the subtly twisted pea shoots on the chartreuse coloured soup of their seed which caught the eye. ‘Let the ingredients do their work’ seems to be customary advic...
L’Alliance
L’Alliance is like a throwback to another time. Though the elegant restaurant only opened eight years ago, riding up the elevator in its grand entrance and stepping into the high-ceilinged main room you could be traveling back in time to the boistero...
L’Effervescence
Perhaps because eating is such an intimate and essential experience, it can be hard to appreciate all the levels of artistry that go into the production of a remarkable dish. At L’Effervescence, a new restaurant helmed by chef Shinobu Namae, though,...

French Dining in Tokyo with Hiromichi
The secret to fine dining in Tokyo on a budget is … Lunch. If you are looking for a treat without the night time bill, plenty of fantastic restaurants offer great specials to the lunchtime diners. Some like Hiromichi in Ebisu, even present stunning v...
Italian Dining in Tokyo with Bulgari Il Ristorante
Bulgari – the name is inseparable from the idea of luxury. Imagine a restaurant within a Bulgari jewelry store, and if you weren’t the kind of person who buys high-end necklaces, watches and bags on a monthly basis, you could be intimidated.
Tsukiji Fish Market
Early lunch in Tsukiji, after you cannot wake up early to check out the auctions

Arossa Shibuya and Arossa Ginza

The Hub
Out of all the watering holes I go to, The Hub has to be one of my favourites. Sure it's very cheesy but the drinks are cheap and you are bound to meet an interesting crowd. Spread across the Kanto and Kansai regions I suppose that's why I like going...
Salt Tokyo
By chance one day I was in the Shin Marunouchi building during lunch time and randomly chose W.W wine bar to grab a Caesar salad. I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be the best take on the venerable salad that I have had in Tokyo.
Sushi すし
Need not any further introduction, that sushi is the most iconic food in Japanese cuisine.
I'm glad that I'm here in Japan to savour authentic sushi at it's best!
Kaiten Sushi
One of the days in Japan I noticed a "Kaiten Zushi" place nearby from our hotel. Being only familiar with the other kaiten word (回天) the concept sounded quite strange and we decided to see what's that place about. Inside it turned out to be just a...

Japanese-style Food At Home
I love Japanese food. If I had to choose the food of just one country to eat for the rest of my life, I would take that ultimatum quite happily with the reply, “Japan”. I also enjoy cooking – increasingly so – so it’s only natural to put the two toge...
Matsuri Food
Whenever you go to a matsuri in Japan, you probably notice the great collection of food stalls. Here are a few images from the Sakura Hanami at Ueno Park.

YO! TOKYO!
I had a free ticket to go to anywhere in the world after I graduated, and I picked Tokyo. Had the time of my life there I loved it so much! No more free tickets but with SIN-TYO ticket prices coming down I REALLY HOPE TO COME BY SOON! Took this pictu...

Shinjuku Golden Gai

Best Japanese food is one you make yourself.
Living in US in an area poorly populated with Japanese people, we only have horrible sushi places, so after one try we decided do the right thing. That is my wife makes Japanese dishes that we find interesting (on the pictures, in people's blogs/post...

Curry Udon
Every train station has a Udon shop, and usually for some reason feels like the poor mans ramen. When I first came to Japan I had a lot of Tempura udon, and then I fell in love with Soba noodles. When I first saw Curry Udon, I was like....... No! You...
BBQ stuff
Last year was an epic year! I went to a load of BBQ's organized by friends and friends of friends. One time I was helping a mate set up the event, and we bought a ton of meat. I lie, it wasn't a ton, but it was really cheap. My asked my friend more...
Lunch box in the office
I go out for lunch with the team from time to time but nothing beats having a Japanese lunch box. Most restaurants in the area are priced at around 1000 yen which is about 5 pounds or 10 dollars. Pricy huh? thats why its nice to grab a bento box fro...
Chicken and Beer Destination: Hamamatsucho
I live near Hamamatsucho, and the best places (or at least the most popular) to fill your belly around here tend to cater to the business person. During the day, quick lunch from a Yakitori stand hits the spot for thousands of office workers. Later o...
