At Nonna Nietta, Italian magic in suburban Tsukuba https://www.diningandcooking.com/2753295/at-nonna-nietta-italian-magic-in-suburban-tsukuba/ #CHEFS #DestinationRestaurants #FineDining #FoodDelivery #ibaraki #Italia #Italian #ItalianFoodDelivery #ItalianRestaurants #italiano #italy #Restaurants

The building housing Nonna Nietta is not only the home of authentic flavors from Piedmont to Sardinia. Originally in the Italian countryside, the structure itself was literally broken down and reassembled in Tsukuba. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/08/02/food-drink/nonna-nietta-ibaraki-italian-fine-dining-destination-restaurants/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #chefs #finedining #ibaraki

Many visitors to Matsuyama come for the historic Dogo Onsen or as a starting point for an island-crossing pilgrimage. Few, however, know that the city also hides some of the best sushi the Seto Inland Sea has to offer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/06/07/food-drink/destination-restaurants-kurumasushi-matsuyama-sushi-ehime-japanese-cuisine/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #sushi #seafood #matsuyama #ehime #japanesecuisine #fish

With a new location and striking new premises, chef Kentaro Mura’s ‘kaiseki’ cuisine based on premium Toyama seafood is better than ever. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/03/02/food-drink/ebitei-bekkan-seafood-toyama/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #japanesecuisine #fish #destinationrestaurants

To pigeonhole Noriyuki Usui as an Italian chef misses a larger theme that runs through his cooking: his commitment to showcasing the flavors of the Yatsugatake mountains. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/10/20/food-drink/lee-food-destination-restaurants-caenne-nagano-italian-shinshu/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #nagano #italian #finedining

Meals at Jimgu are so driven by chef Tashi Gyamtso dedication to farm-fresh ingredients that before the restaurant served its first diner, it created its own farm from scratch. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/09/22/food-drink/jimgu-enowa-farm-yufuin-oita/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #kyushu #oita #tibet #finedining

Shota Sasaki looks every bit the showman as he stands at the stove, a mouthwatering aroma of sizzling pork filling the dining room. At Elezo Esprit, the performance is all about the meat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/08/11/food-drink/destination-restaurants-elezo-esprit-hokkaido-deer-game-meat/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #hokkaido #steak #hunting

The ¥30,250 ‘omakase’ (chef’s choice) menu at Toyama’s Oryouri Fujii comprises a dozen dishes, each reflecting the bounty of the seasons. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/08/04/food-drink/destination-restaurants-oryouri-fujii-toyama/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #washoku #japanesecuisine #toyama

Kosuke Kobayashi charges ¥19,800 for his full "omakase" (chef’s choice) menu at Tokiwa Sushi — a price that, for this quality, would be unthinkable in Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/07/21/food-drink/destination-restaurants-tokiwa-sushi-niigata-shibata/ #life #fooddrink #sushi #niigata #destinationrestaurants

One of Kazunari Otowa’s perennial specialties is “ormeau en croute” — Hokkaido abalone cooked in the Japanese way in a dashi stock and then baked in an ornate pastry crust. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/06/22/food-drink/destination-restaurants-otowa-utsunomiya/ #life #fooddrink #french #finedining #destinationrestaurants

The drawback of the rise of Yamagata Prefecture’s premium produce is that few local eateries serve the best local products — but not French restaurant Pas Mal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/06/08/food-drink/destination-restaurants-pas-mal-yamagata/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #yamagata #french

Just once a week on Saturdays, chef Ryohei Ikemi opens for lunch, offering an abbreviated version of his dinner menu for ¥10,000. The catch? Aomori locals only — a show of thanks to those who supported Casa del Cibo's rise. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/04/26/food-drink/destination-restaurants-casa-del-cibo-aomori/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #aomori #italian

The signature dish at Naz is Shinshu "salmon," raised in the pure mountain water of upland Nagano Prefecture. Aged for more than 10 days, it is then smoked, slow-cooked and served with lightly pickled turnip. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/02/11/food-drink/destination-restaurants-naz-karuizawa-nagano/ #life #fooddrink #destinationrestaurants #nagano #karuizawa

Those lucky enough to dine on chef Masato Nishihara’s vegetable terrine, served for just one month this fall, are unlikely to forget it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/12/03/food-drink/destination-restaurants-tsukumo-nara/?utm_content=bufferd67f6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #life #fooddrink #nara #destinationrestaurants #omakase #japanesecuisine

Takafumi Yoshida rolls kuruma ebi (tiger prawns) in strips of local nori and covers each with lightly blanched kobutakana greens seasoned with a garum produced in-house from Shimabara Blackface sheep. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/06/11/food/villa-del-nido-nagasaki/?utm_content=buffer4ec8b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #life #fooddrink #italian #volcano #nagasaki #michelin #destinationrestaurants
