Japan Recs

Damn now I gotta go back to try Marumo and Serikenan. Both were on my list but ran out of time. Pizza on 38th too. So much food to try. We preferred Savoy to PST but would be happy to eat either again. The big difference was sitting at the counter at Savoy and getting the pizzas delivered immediately vs sitting at a table at PST.

Hey!

It seems we do definitely do. I need to hear about this hipster ryokan.

For various reasons (honeymoon, Amex deal) we ended up staying at The Okura Heritage Tower. It’s very specific and very Mad Men.

Anyway, have a great trip! Excited to hear your report once you go.

My gosh, the Okura Heritage Tower looks gorgeous. frantically sees if I have enough points to justify it

Lol, so I have two sets of friends from different cities (Brooklyn and LA) who both have stayed here, so I’m giving it a shot. Embarrassed, kinda, to be following such a well-trodden trail of hipsterdom, but it’s decently priced and evidently in a good area.

All these places may have seats still within reach on the usual concierge sites (but of course no guarantees):

Sushi Kaikai
Udatsu
Sushi Akira
