Ever go to a place and think, "I should tell other people about this place?" or, "I should save this location so I can find it later." Well, I do. So I started logging the spots I visit. Below you'll find a global map of the pins I've dropped so far, as well as a feed of all my latest spots.

(Hint: because the global map contains a lot of closely-clustered pins, you may need to zoom in significantly to select individual spots. Try going full screen!)


Tabelogged: 十千花前

I visited 十千花前 on June 9, 2026. I gave it a 3.6 on Tabelog.

外観はかなり高級な雰囲気で一瞬入るのを躊躇しましたが、予約なしでもすんなり席に案内していただけました。スタッフの方がとても親しみやすく、メニュー選びにも丁寧に付き合ってくださって安心。静岡名物にひと工夫加えた料理が魅力で、特に葉生姜の豚巻き炭焼きは生姜の爽やかさと豚の旨み、炭の香ばしさが絶妙でした。見た目の敷居の高さとは裏腹に、気軽に通いたくなるお店です。

Tabelogged: CADILLAC CAFE

I visited CADILLAC CAFE on June 6, 2026. I gave it a 3.2 on Tabelog.

50年代エルヴィス風の世界観がよく作り込まれていて、ヴィンテージ装飾や当時物の輸入品も見応えがありました。メニューもテーマに合っていて楽しく、バーガーはチーズが特においしかったです。オニオンリングも揚げ加減が完璧でした。 ⛳︎

Sushi Izuki

Finally got a chance to visit @izukiorlando with @instantsal this week.

Generally, I set my expectations for sushi in Florida to quite low, especially if the restaurant isn't Japanese-owned. Izuki blew away those admittedly reserved expectations with one of the best sushi courses I've ever had—and it's just around the corner from our place!

Beyond having a direct relationship with a supplier that ensures several shipments a week, what really sets Izuki apart (other than excellent preparation) is their dry aging technique. The true flavor of each fish is bolder and more distinctive, and the textures really melt in your mouth. If you're in Orlando, you've got to try it. One of the few Japanese restaurants in the United States I wouldn't be ashamed to bring my Japanese friends to.
