sawa Astrea Caviar x Kuheiji@Little Tokyo ★★★

sawa Astrea Caviar x Kuhieji Sake Night Event. Incredible. Kuheiji is the best of the best. Since 1647. My favorite sake by far. Pairs so well with caviar. Using Yamadanishiki & Omachi rice. First sake introduced in 3 Michelin Stars restaurant in Paris. Presented by Shota-san from Fifth Taste with different kinds & vintage comparison of Kuheiji Sake, ranging from $100-$800. HInoKISHI was their flagship. Finest & purest sake. Woke up very refreshed and vitalized the next day. All of them were my favorite for different occasions. Amazing modern omakase sushi by sushi chefs Ryo-san & Anthony-san. Handcrafted cocktails by Natalia. [developing story]

High-End Japanese Steakhouse Grand Opening Day. Great variety of steak and seasoning with sauces you can choose from. Nice appetizers. Malbec is nice pairing for the steak with a great price. Nice bar seating available for wine & cocktails. Great to see our favorite Makoto-san working there as manager. He already knows our palette and made nice recommendations. We pretty much asked him to do Omakase. Bartender and server were nice. Reservations via OpenTable. Free parking in lot.

Chinesology@Central Hong Kong ★★★

Incredible Elevated Chinese Fusion Tasting Menu. Director Chef Saito does his magic. Because of connection with the restaurant, we were able to provide our own ingredients. Fish Maw was from my Father-in-Law. Soft and smooth. Shark's Fin was heritage from my late Grandmother. Crisp and refreshing. The special ingredients we provided held a special connection in my heart. An enchanted meal that I will never forget. Great selection of cocktails. $1,688 per person.
