Reminders of places to go in Tokyo....to be updated regularly.
- Sushi Kanesaka (Ginza): from Thom Browne suggestion in The Aesthete
- L'Effervescence (Minato-ku): chef Sinobu Namae from Michel Bras' Toya in Hokkaido, before that The Fat Duck; try his version of kabu (Japanese turnip), foie gras with kombu seaweed puree.
- Robataya (Rappongi): the original grill restaurant
- New York Bar & Grill (Shinkjuku): at the Park Hyatt
- Sushi Sawada (Ginza): Koji Sawada's seven seater two star; served directly on the hinoki wood counter
- Birdland (Ginza): the only 1 star Yakitori in Tokyo
- Sushi Sawada (Ginza): a 2 star sushi much acclaimed by David Chang
- 69 Rock & Roll (Haramachida): chicken-based ramen (no talking aloud!)
- Sushishou (Shinjuku): Edomae sushi, the traditional sushi of Tokyo, i.e., hand-formed nigiri. "Contemporary edomae sushi is sushi that is served at the apotheosis of the aging process, where time, salt and fermentation have weaved their magic". Considered by some to be the gold standard, with an "elusive treatment" of rice.
