  • Yesterday’s 十日町 food extravaganza began w/ a homey local delicious ryokan breakfast (A+ rice) @katakurinoyado, a converted 19th century schoolhouse. Lunch was 15 different local sobas at the Tokamachi Soba Festival, held at Kinare. Tokamachi specializes in hegi soba, made with funori, a type of seaweed. Our 3 dinners started at 志天, a tempura restaurant where we not only had lightly fried, deeply flavored seasonal fruit, vegetable and seafood tempura, but also shirako 3 ways, the most delectable beef liver sashimi, pressed river eel sushi, a sashimi platter, and other wonderful things. Then onto @ikote_official, where gracious host @__ikote__no__mariko__ served us local sakes and helped us celebrate the birthday of our friend and tour guide extraordinaire @chikonuts in the incredibly beautiful new community center/sake bar/restaurant/cafe designed by famed architectural firm Tezuka. We wrapped up the night with fiery red, spicy, meaty, flavor-rich bowls of Kalbi Kuppa at 2nd floor yakiniku joint 玄海. #日本 #niigata #japan #tokamachi #niigata #十日町 #新潟 #japanesefood #料理 #美食 #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eater

  • One of many delicious motsu (intestine) dishes enjoyed at renowned Tateishi, Tokyo spot 宇ち多. Fun being seated at a communal table w/ gruff but friendly natives. #tateishi #立石 #東京 #日本 #料理 #tokyo #japan #japanesefood #intestines #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eater #美食

  • Finally had good coffee in Tokyo @single_o, a bit off the beaten path but worth the journey. So much better than everything we tried so far. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #tokyo #sumida #japan #東京 #日本 #コーヒー #thirdwavewichteln #brachpetjp
  • Sanma set meal w/ koshihikari rice, a deeply flavored miso soup, and all the fixings to create your own ochazuke at おひつ膳 田んぽ (Ohitsuzen Tanpo), revisiting a restaurant that @apricot_78 took me to 4 years ago, in Kita Aoyama. Only ¥1350. #sanma #ochazuke #日本 #料理 #美食 #japan #tokyo #aoyama #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #brachipetjp
  • Highlights of last night’s 16+ course horumon omakase from a master chef at Sanda Roppongi Honten. A meal such as this would easily cost $250 in NYC. It can be yours in Tokyo for ¥7000 / person including tax, tip and a drink. High quality, creative, delectable dishes. See last shot for course list, all of which we consumed except for adam’s apple and a couple others that weren’t available. Lots of citrusy ponzu preparations. Delicious palate cleansers and shaved coconut ice vodka dessert (!) included. Amazing. Thanks much to @grrry for the rec. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #japanesefood #japan #tokyo #roppongi #日本 #東京 #六本木 #料理 #晩御飯 #omakase #horumon #offal #organs #brachipetjp
