"The menu by Chef Masaya Miyawaki has a drinking snacks vibe. Miyawaki enjoys a drink himself, so meals begin with fried items that complement drinks like beer and champagne. Karasumi (salted and dried grey mullet roe) Soba is salty and flavoursome. Regional sake, wasanbon (a kind of refined sugar) and olive-fed wagyu beef are sourced from Kagawa Prefecture from the chef’s desire to support his native region. Miyawaki recommends dessert-wine pairings with bracken-starch dumplings, tracing the evolution of Japanese cuisine." - Michelin Inspector
"Why it's great: This beautiful jewel of a shop makes fans for the Imperial family, geisha, sumo wrestlers, and celebrities, each hand-painted with delicate seasonal designs. They've been making fans for generations; walking through the store is like visiting a museum of fans. What to look for: Make sure to see the room upstairs dedicated to sousenkyo, a fan game from the Edo period that is much harder than it looks!"
