Desert finished, and the chef offered a cup of 'coffee'. In fact it's a nother desert. The joke on the cup was 'star come back' not starbuck, cause the restaurant lose 1 michelin star last year

My neighbour's desert. He's a repeat customer. The chef won't serve you the same thing again.

Sushi Iwa looks amazing, especially the toro and akami. The breakfast milk udon seems like a savory dish with the shrimp, do they use soy milk or regular? -MW

I think your diet...
