Hello everyone, would like to ask for some recommendations for Hiroshima. I'll be headed there for a solo trip for a couple of days. Has anyone been to Chisou Sottakuito or Kisetsu Ryori Nakashima? I've been browsing a lot of Tabelog but would also love to check out some lesser-known spots. Thank you!

https://www.instagram.com/kanivour/Hopefully not too late a reply - I've visited Kisetsu Ryori Nakashima in 2023. Food is generally good, and service is of a high standard, with one of their junior service staff giving me a stronger impression as being very well trained and knowledgeable. They are quite focused on their tableware too, and took a lot of effort to tell us about the ceramics and lacquerware used throughout the meal. None of the dishes stood out enough for me to remember strongly, maybe a particularly large piece of kawahagi liver, and also their rice being on the drier side and to my liking.
As for other recommendations, I strongly recommend AKAI. There were relatively fewer courses in the meal, dishes looked fairly simple, but the flavours were so clean and unforgettably good. I liked Eizan a lot too, would recommend them if you are looking for traditional kaiseki.

@thetrashmouth i have been to both Chiso Sottakuito and Nakashima. The former has more innovative dishes and with big focus on dashi making. The latter is more seafood focused and more traditional/rustic. Visiting both or either one is fine

Thank you for the helpful suggestions!

Hi all - I'm visiting Japan for two weeks in early March and wanted to know the group's opinion on Suetomi and Kimoto (Matsuo). In particular, how would you compare each to Ginza Shinohara. I visited Shinohara last year and while I very much enjoyed it, I wasn't blown away by all of the food. Thank you so much in advance!

Kimoto (Matsuo) is not a traditional kaiseki, but the flavors are strong and the quality is top notch. Shinohara isn't known for the best taste but rather their presentation and hospitality. Haven't tried Suetomi.

IG: danielfromhkHaven’t been to Matsuo. Foodwise, I would prefer Suetomi over Shinohara or Kimoto. Much better execution and seasoning

IG: danielfromhkMake sure to look into travel arrangements before booking. Imari is quite far from Fukuoka and public transport doesn’t run that frequently. Also budget 5 hours for the meal since everything is made from scratch

Hi all, can i ask is there any difference in style/deliciousness between vitis steak and ginza kokoro?
Understand ginza kokoro is using mainly kobe beef.

Vitis feels more affordable and has a higher percentage of creative dishes.
If you’re not worried about budget and want to enjoy high-quality wood-fired steak, I’d personally recommend Koko-ro.

Alright thanks so much! Will give kokoro a try.

Is keita has the same tonkatsu style as Kippei?
