"The meal I had in the restaurant was definitely one of the most memorable meals I have had so far. Not having known Japanese fine-dining cuisine to any significant depth before, this was a revelation."

"I have been restraining myself to use the words “best meal of my life” when I started this blog, but I’m reluctant to say that this was perhaps the most sophisticated and intricate meal I’ve ever had."
