Japanese food tonight, Ichiman, on Abbey Street - salmon tempura, rainbow rolls, sticky rice and all the rest....from one of Dublin's new joints of stratospephric standards....Dublin is one of these cities who had crap food 10 years ago, but now has an extremely powerful competitive scene across all restaurants (resulting in an extraordinarily high standard of new restaurants and vile, unmerciful but sometimes kind, passionate and extremely sharp reviewers like me writing about/ sometimes exposing them - its a disposable and vulnerable scene - not a lie - restaurants have closed or reinvented themselves and their menus on the basis of our words)
