Shintori Restaurant, Shanghai, China

If you are in Shanghai and you want to eat really good Japanese food Shintori is the place to go. The restaurant itself is impressive as you can see on the picture. There is no sign by the entrance but when you get inside it and  you walk through the bamboo forrest you know that you have come to the right place. The food is a mixture of traditional Kaiseki and Japanese cross over. Order a few dishes at a time as the service is quick and you might feel a bit stressed if everything comes at the same time. Better to order a few times. The sashimi is great but the cooked dishes like the cod is even better.  Before or after you can also visit the bar next door. Make sure to book the tables in advance.
