My October sushi affair: Saito, Sugita, Mitani

I first met Takaaki Sugita at his former sushi-ya Miyakozushi in 2012. It’s never really been included in Michelin guide, but already then it was one of the hardest places to book and easily on the same level as Saito or other Tokyo’s best. Then I had the honour to…

I met Česlovas Žemaitis last autumn, when my friends insisted I visit Šturmų Švyturys, the fish restaurant he opened with his wife Asta in Vilnius’ up-and-coming Uzupio district. The restaurant in Vilnius is their second location; the first is a peaceful hotel on the shores of the Curonian lagoon, where…
