First Post

Well, it has been a long time coming, but it is time to finally get this thing up and running. I suppose discipline will be what finally gets this off the ground but I am confident I can make it work.

I love good food, all aspects of it.

What I also love is good food that is healthy. Even more than that, good food which is healthy, and reasonably priced.

Organic ingredients, locally grown, all of that is great too. Of course, it is not always possible to find all of that in one package... actually, it is not common at all.  One can't think about health all the time...

Anyways, this blog will be a platform where I can try to talk about food, as I see it.

I hope to share information on ingredients, restaurants, drinks, recipes, photos... and just speak my thoughts in general.

Please join my in discussing food and don't hesitate to comment!



(I thought that I should include a picture for my first post so picked up one that I had lying around on my hard drive-  these are mini-pizzas that I made with proscuitto, cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and portabella mushrooms!)

Sushi Mizutani (鮨水谷)

I went to Sushi Mizutani with a friend of mine last month (this post has been a long time coming). It was my first ever 3 Michelin star experience, and as it is rated as one of the best restaurants in the world (and perhaps the 2nd best Sushi place), I arrived at the restaurant full of anticipation for the meal to come. The short story is, it was the best Sushi I have ever had... for the long....long... story, read on.  I'll warn you now, it is a pretty long post.

Yebisu Beer Museum - Beer "Tasting Salon" in Ebisu

It's been a little while since my last post... I've both been a bit busy, and have not really been eating out during this time.  However, a couple of weeks back, I did visit the Yebisu Beer Tasting Salon in the Yebisu Beer Museum, located in Ebisu station's Garden Place.  Garden Place is a nice, upscale shopping complex with restaurants, cafes, hotels, a movie theatre and more.  There is a stage in the middle of the plaza where they hold events, and in the summer there is a temporary outdoor  "beer garden". I heard that the station itself is named after the brewery. "Yebisu" or "Ebisu", is part of Sapporo Breweries, and is one of the more "premium" of the 4 main beers sold in Japan. By premium, I mean that they cost several tens of yen more when you buy them at the shop. To me, at least, Yebisu tastes a lot better than Sapporo Ichiban.  You can find their website, with English, here ( http://www.sapporoholdings.jp/english/guide/yebi...

Mojo Coffee- NZ Flat white in Kagurazaka area

The cafe entrance I have to admit it, the first time I ever tasted, or actually, even heard of a flat white, was in Penang airport in Malaysia, of all places.  The cafe I had it at?  McCafe, if you can believe it.  Ever since, I've been trying to have flat whites everywhere and anywhere I can. Now I have McDonald's brewed coffee every now and again, especially when I'm in a rush-  there's one on my way to work and it is cheap, costing only 100 yen.  Sometimes I even get free coffee there as they hand out vouchers at the station.  Unfortunately, they don't have flat whites here in Tokyo at McCafe. Flat whites were invented in Australia and New Zealand and is an espresso based drink. It's similar to the latte or cappuccino in the sense that it has steamed milk, but the end result is quite different.  It has a thicker, more velvety texture as the steamed milk is more creamy and less foamy and is folded into the coffee. Generally, as far as I k...
