I am delighted to publish David Kinch’s review of four
outstanding restaurants in Tokyo.
The Michelin guides awards more three stars to Tokyo than to any other
city in the world, but for many of us, including myself, the very best of the Japanese cuisine remains a black box.
Kinch, owner and chef of the Manresa
restaurant in Los Gatos, where I had some of my
best meals in the States, has visited Tokyo
with a Japanese friend who helped him navigate some terrain unknown to Westerners. Personally I found his reviews to be very
honest in the sense that he makes a very sincere effort to come to terms with a
genre of cuisine which is new to him, and he approaches this new realm with an
open mind and scientific curiosity.
Being a world class chef certainly helps him to delve deeply into some
details, but he never loses sight of the greater forest.
I hope the readers of gastromondiale will enjoy and benefit
from these reviews as much as I did.
