It’s a little known fact that the denizens of Taipei really love their unadon, eel and rice. However, if you look up where to have it, there are only a few places people would recommend. And since those places are now inundated with tourists and long wait times, we decided to try out a Unagiuosho....

During my early ventures into San Mateo and neighboring cities, I ran across Gintei, a modestly sized sushi restaurant. This was several years ago and at that time, I couldn’t get a seat. This was when I ran solo as well. Nope, no walkin seating at the sushi bar. Without of course, a long wait....

My flight landed in Austin right before dinner time. Of course, I turned to my list of places to try and decided on Komé. I knew it was going to be busy. However, since it was located outside downtown and I was a party of one, I’d thought I try my luck. Well, I was...

It’s probably no surprise Japanese cuisine is on the rise in Mexico City. Like any other major city in the world, it comes in the form of high end sushi restaurants to piping hot ramen joints to inviting izakaya spots. We chose a place that would fit the latter category, Hiyoko. It’s a Japanese kushiyaki...
