  1. going to be there from the 6th-13th of may. if your meal at ryugin happens to be sometime before my trip to tokyo, i'd definitely be interested in your thoughts and impressions of the meal. still figuring out where I want to go for sushi

  2. thanks for all the info! i'll definitely try and squeeze in some of the recommendations and save my money on jiro and go for something else. i'd say i have an above-average appreciation for food compared to the average north american but would probably not be able to appreciate the minute differences between the very good and excellent restaurants.

    directed more to drew: i know you talked about curry awhile back and your recipe, but does domPierre satisfy (if you've tried) or would you suggest anywhere else for my curry fix? Also, TOJ leather overkill at night early May?

  3. visiting tokyo again. haven't been back since end of '10. hitting up kyoto for the first time. hoping to get some updated recommendations on food. current list of places to hit up (been to all previously but narutomi & dompierre)

    blacows - wagyu burgers

    menya kissou (麺屋 å‰å·¦å³) - tsukemen

    unasho in yodo-akiba - unagi

    narutomi (close to Tsukiji-shijo station) - soba

    hidemi sugino - dessert

    Kyobashi domPierre - japanese beef curry

    sushi? i went to sushi dai at tsukiji last time but I'm looking for something better without a 1.5 hour wait. thinking of splurging at sushi mizutani or Sukiyabashi Jiro Ginza. (worried about jiro because i don't speak fluent japanese to make a reservation and i hear the ambiance is sub-par along with rice that has above average amounts of vinegar). i'm only hitting up 1 sushi joint this entire trip so if you have any recommendations, fire away.

    if there are any notable restaurants that fit the bill for any of the specific foods listed above, let me know.

    also, any must-see/do/eat in kyoto? only there for 2 days. thanks
