When Gordon Ramsay delivers this line on Kitchen Nightmares, it's invariably shouted - at full, angry volume - in order to excoriate restaurateurs for the sanitary conditions in their kitchens. But I'm appropriating this phrase for the opposite reason, to indicate that I am very happy to have dined at this restaurant.
This is, or so I hope, the first installment of a series of reports on my experiences with haute cuisine in Tokyo. And what better place to start than Les Creations de Narisawa, the only restaurant in Japan to make it onto the San Pellegrino list of top 50 restaurants in the world?
While you're at it, take a sneaky peek at my decadent meal at A Ta Gueule. If you're not drooling by the end of the article, I haven't done my job properly.
If you're in Tokyo and would like to receive a free glass of Hennessy Fine Champagne VSOP Cognac, print out this coupon and take it straight to the Riedel Wine Boutique in Aoyama!

Yay for free champagne! Totally printing the coupon right now. Great post! Thanks!
Hi girlie,
What type of fish are in the first photo? They appear crisped to perfection...
Oh, girl, sorry but the free glass at Riedel is actually cognac! Fine Champagne refers to the cru of the growing regions. It's a blend of Grand Champagne (highest rank) and Petit Champagne (next rank) eau de vie. Sorry for the confusion, but it's very tasty stuff. Just not, erm, champagne as such...
Hi Jen!
I hope you entered that poetry contest. Any word on the audition??
The fish are called chi-ayu in Japanese, and baby sweetfish in English. They're a kind of river fish that appears in spring and really full-force in summer. Crisped to perfection, they are indeed!
