Tokyo Michelin Two-Star · Green Star Crony (2)🌟

The second dish was monkfish with onion and black truffle, served with a more traditional caramelized onion soup. 🍲 The next one was my absolute favorite: salmon roe with sesame milk, along with some clam sauce and smoked sesame oil. The bread that followed wasn’t really my cup of tea... I’m not a fan of spongy sourdough... and the sake butter felt a bit too overpowering for the butter’s smoothness. 🍞 🍃🌸 Then came the highlight of the entire dinner for me: Isaki. This fish can only be described as perfect — the kind of texture you never forget, even years later... For the main course, the Wagyu beef felt a bit too rich for my taste... I’m a Wagyu lover, but this dish lacked variety in texture and flavor. 🍃🌸 It felt like eating a piece of fatty meat with my eyes closed... and the accompanying turnip tempura didn’t quite do it for me. 🥩 Next was a burst-of-cheese ball... I’ve had this cocoa butter shell five times this year, and it feels a bit too familiar. 🧀 After that, there was a beetroot and white chocolate mousse with strawberry sauce... It was lighter than I expected, but people who don’t like beets might find it a bit overwhelming. 🍓 🍃🌸The following dessert was an ice cream made with a tea called Harumoegi, served with a mirin sauce... I thought the flavor was a bit too subtle, but it looked absolutely stunning. I felt like switching the order of these two desserts would have been better. 🍦 🍃🌸The biggest highlight of the desserts, in my opinion, was the last, rather humble-looking petit fours. The waiter here will tell you how sustainable this dish is... I suggest starting with the chocolate! The waiter didn’t mention this, but the chocolate melts really fast. 🍃🌸 If you don’t eat it immediately, it will feel like grabbing... well, you know... 😅 #Tokyo 🌇
