Best of Kyoto and Tokyo

30 September – 6 October 2026 · Kyoto · Tokyo

At the end of September, I travelled through Kyoto and Tokyo with a wonderful group of food lovers from Brazil. We shared meals at Maeda, Ogata, Arai, Suzutashiki, Takiya, Sushi Saito, Yakiniku Jumbo and Namba.

So much to remember. And usually, after a trip like this, the details begin to disappear. You remember loving a meal, but not quite what was on the plate.

This time, we kept a record.

Here are our meals, dish by dish, with the wines, sake and stories behind them. For those who were there, a way back. For everyone else, come and see what we ate.
