We’ve focused a bit on traditional food in Japan, but we’re really interested in seeing what new things creative chefs can imagine here in Japan. So, we went out to Gion Roiro in the heart of Kyoto, where instead of highly traditional food, we had an eye-opening experience of new, creative dishes.
Thank you to Gion Roiro for inviting us out to shoot this video and to have free reign for shooting around the kitchen, which is hard to come by in many Japanese restaurants. While this video was sponsored, we’re only posting it because we really liked what we ate, and we liked the shots we got too, and we think that you’ll really like it as well.
Check out Gion Roiro if you’re in Kyoto!

Yosuke Suga — head of SUGALABO, former right hand man to Joel Robuchon, and former Iron Chef France — brought us along with him to explore Ehime prefecture and to hunt for the best citrus and produce Japan has to offer.
Afterward his search, he brought us back to his restaurant in Tokyo, where he showed us how he creates his dishes, and told us the whole point of his laboratory.
Come with us on perhaps the most profound food experience weve ever had. I think what Suga is doing is really special, and I hope we can share that with you in this video.

Allow us to introduce you to Isao Amano, head chef of Tenzushi, who many say makes the best sushi in Japan. It’s a very unique style of sushi, unlike any of the high end omakase sushi places we’ve been to, and is exceptionally innovative and maddeningly delicious. We traveled down to Fukuoka, then to Kokura, so we could have some Heavenly Sushi.
