ici: sophisticated French cuisine at bistro prices

The backstreets of Ebisu do not lack for great French cuisine. So how can a tiny new restaurant put itself on the map in such a popular dining district? One approach is to adopt a short, catchy name written in lowercase letters. But at ici (French for "here"), the real strategy is offering brilliant...

Sugar, spice and all things nice in Roppongi's craft beer bars

Depending on who you ask, Roppongi is either Tokyo's most sophisticated neighborhood or its seediest. Yet everyone can agree it's one of the city's most international.

Izuju: A hidden home for sweet 'Kyozushi'

When you live in a tourist mecca like Kyoto you tend to avoid the major attractions. However, having a visitor in town provides a good excuse to join the horde and get into tourist mode: taking over footpaths, meandering slowly along backstreets and taking photos of everything, especially photos of yourself...

Bills Ginza: Laidback Australian dining in the heart of the city

Ginza. It's where you go for classy cake shops, high-end sushi and some of Japan's priciest cuisine. But surely not for vegan cauliflower fritters and spelt risotto, or porcini-rubbed steaks and truffled arancini (rice balls)? Absolutely, thanks to the newest branch of the laid-back — and still lower-case...

New and old ways to slurp up Japan's original fast food

Long before Western chain restaurants entered Japan, the nation was nourishing its population with food served fast. Soba noodles — cheap, nutritious, served quickly and slurped just as speedily (while standing) — are one of Japan's original fast foods and continue to rival burger joints.

Zeshin: Seasonal surprises in a 'kaiseki' hideaway

Autumn is our reward for overcoming the extremes of summer. The harvest that comes with the season also makes it quite possibly the best time of year for eating out. Zeshin, opened more than three years ago by Hideyuki Ohishi, will make you wish autumn lasted the whole year.

Moriwaki: Blissful sashimi in a compact family-run eatery

One of my favorite occasions to eat out in Japan is after returning from a long trip abroad. I have learned to empathize with those Japanese tourists who can't wait to get home and eat Japanese rice after a whirlwind tour of Europe.

Start your morning with a serving of tradition at these breakfast joints

The Japanese breakfast provides a healthy start to the day. It's rich in vegetables — from both land and sea — often includes fermented foods such as miso soup and pickles, and is rounded out with rice and grilled seafood. Though, it hasn't always been this way.

Juliett: Australian 'wagyu' for Japan's Muslim community

Although Juliett has an Australian flag displayed in the window, it doesn't initially seem to have much to do with the land down south. Instead, it has an extensive menu similar to many other modern fusion restaurants in Japan: pizzas, pastas, omelet rice and desserts. The connection with Australia becomes...

Narikura: 'Tonkatsu' that should be on every foodie's radar

There's nothing gourmet about tonkatsu. Those deep-fried cutlets with their crisp, appetizing exteriors concealing juicy chunks of rich, fatty pork are, for many, the ultimate expression of Japanese comfort food. But, as with other types of downhome cooking, the best purveyors often become the object...

Unagi Fujita: The lowly eel comes up in the world

Not so many years ago, unagi, the humble freshwater eel, was considered a plebeian pleasure — a delicacy fit for Tokyo's townsfolk rather than rarefied levels of society. Much has changed. This once-lowly fish now commands high-end prices worthy of even the most upscale parts of town. This meant that...

Kakomi: the hushed, abstract art of 'kaiseki'

I have worked in my fair share of kitchens over the years. At some stage while toiling at each, someone — usually a chef — would lose their temper with me and regain it only after loudly roasting me with words not fit for a newspaper. I thought of these episodes while sitting at the counter of Kakomi...

Naniwa: The taste of summer in Japan

The small and flimsy Naniwa cafe is located on Tengonakazakidori, one of my favorite shōtengai shopping streets in Osaka. Compared to the neighboring Tenjinbashisuji Shotengai, which stretches for 2.6 kilometers, Tengonakazakidori Shotengai is a short stroll. What it lacks in length it makes up for...
