The meal of the century. I have never felt so personally touched by a meal and its execution in 20+ years I have been a foodie with probably over 1000 meals in Michelin starred restaurants(never counted them, but I guess we already over 1k) no gimmicks, no fancy techniques, pure minimalism and incredible produce. An experience not for everyone and suitable just for those who are willing to take a step back and enjoy the purity of everything. Many people with western palates might call it underseasoned or underwhelming as a food experience, BUT an experience like that could only be achieved to its maximum with that kind of food. We left completely speechless during most of the meal, as everyone in the counter was watching the sharp movements of the chef. Reservations are kind of hard to get, as i basically begged a bunch of different friends who are into food blogging to take me with them, I finally succeeded and it’s well worth the 16 months of hustle. It’s a restaurant that I maybe wouldn’t visit every day, but I will forever remember that one time, as I probably won’t get another chance to revisit.

    Ps. I do use the beli app for all my visits since June, and I have added some of my previous all time favorites. Kataori is my nr 1 now after taking over chefs table a Brooklyn fare(it was for a meal I had 3-4 years before covid when chef Cesar was in his best)

  3. I’m going to be in Kanazawa in November!

    I’ll look into this place, but sounds like the reservation will be difficult.
