Last week I fulfilled another little dream in Japan and went to eat at the famous restaurant Sant Pau in Tokyo!! Yes! for those that don't know it, this is the restaurant of Carme Ruscalleda, one of the best Catalan cooks who already has another Sant Pau in Catalonia with three Michelin stars. The Japanese branch which happen to got the second star just few weeks ago is located in one of the main business areas of the city. What brought me there then? The celebration of Shinnenkai (新年会) or "new year's gathering" , another festivity of the Japanese culture which occurs at the beginning of the year usually with your work colleagues. Luckily in my team we are not many and that is the reason we can afford going to this type of places and enjoy a culinary experience, and was a good one! even though we took the smallest menu, I must say it was already very complete and balanced, in general I would highlight the good and original mixture between typical Catalan products or preparations with Japanese style and ingredients. On the other hand, maybe because I already knew many if the products, although it was exquisite I wasn't astonished with the result, who were really amazed were my Japanese colleagues though :)! Unfortunately this time we couldn't meet Carme so I will have a new excuse to go back once she come to Japan again :)
