Also, Iseebi is designated as prefectural fish of Mie (in 1990). Back in the Edo period, in some writings a story is written about that Iseebi being sold at an extremely high price in Edo and Osaka. As Daimyo give away Iseebi as a gift of early spring. Still Spiny lobster is known as decoration of New Year's and wedding because of the vivid red color when its boiled. There is an interesting way to fish Iseebi. divers wave a pole with an octopus on it and catch them with a net when they come out in shock as octopus is their natural enemy. You can taste Iseebi in several cuisines such as Sashimi, Iseebi soup, Fried, Steak, Hot pot, and Paella.

Rice is the staple food in Japan.

Any rice harvested, milled and packaged in the same year is called Shinmai , or newly harvested rice. There are about over 300 kinds of rice in Japan However, they are adjusting to climate and natural features of the region to improve every day. There are possibilities that in few years, few decades time from now you might still see whole new brand rice than what we have now. Shinmai is one of the flavors of autumn during September to October. How to wash, amount of water, take a little time to soak Shinmai rice in water, when it's cooked mix it immediately and leave it for a little to steam away etc Shinmai could be a delicate food. But Shinmai is very plump and moist, and its soft but heavy texture makes it so special for Japanese people.

The rabbit hole winding down to Wonderland is not always located in a whimsical secret garden or magical fairytale book. The most mystical and enchanting places can sometimes be found in the form of exquisite, luxurious cuisine. In fact, the road to Wonderland is not down, but rather up—16 floors to be exact. Pinpointed on top of the Smolenskaya Square in Moscow Russia, The White Rabbit restaurant guides guests into another realm.

This White Rabbit attracts individuals from all over the world and has earned the restaurant the 25th spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, with head chef and owner Vladimir Mukhin ranked the 9th best chef by the Best Chef Awards. Also featured on the Netflix show Chef’s Table , many regarded The White Rabbit to be the best restaurant Russia. Yes, this restaurant is in the top dining location in the largest country in the world.

Vladimir Mukhin is no stranger to fine dining and delectable taste. He began his journey as a chef at the age of 12 by working alongside his father. Frustrated by the lack of acknowledgement and homage to traditional Russian cuisine, Mukhin hit the books and discovered classic Russian recipes dating back hundreds of years that his ancestors had once cooked. He then combined these dishes with modern takes inspired by other European cities. With the collaboration of restaurateur Boris Zarkov, the White Rabbit opened its doors in 2012 and has served as a popular destination for tourists and locals ever since.

"With a feature on the hit Netflix show Chef’s Table, many have regarded the White Rabbit to be the best restaurant in all of Russia"

The top floor of the Smolenskaya Passage located along Moscow’s Garden Ring is reserved entirely for the White Rabbit. Guests are swept up 16 stories in a private elevator decorated like a forest, which separates the rest of the building from the restaurant. Right upon entry, guests will notice the eccentric Alice in Wonderland themed as exhibited by various white rabbit paintings and figures. Whimsical touches such as youth-like purple and blue lighting and multiple glass chandeliers contribute to the theme in a tasteful way. Panoramic windows within a sleek glass dome offer impressive views of Moscow. Whether you choose to dine in the afternoon or evening, these sweeping views enhance the overall experience.

The White Rabbit is made of two dining rooms on two different levels. Both are host to white tablecloth touches and plush, comfortable seating. The bar is one of the main focal points, boasting a towering display of wines behind the bold counter. On the cocktail menu, guests can graze over a selection of beverages inspired by Lewis Carrol’s classic tale, Alice in Wonderland . A variety of wines sourced from all over the world and an impressive bar menu offer a variety of drinks to be paired with the tasting options.

"The White Rabbit prides itself on sourcing many ingredients from Russian farms and local markets, ensuring the freshest cuisine. "

Every season is opened with a new tasting menu and original dishes from Mukhin. Besides the tasting menu, an À La Carte selection is also available. The White Rabbit prides itself on sourcing many ingredients from Russian farms and local markets, ensuring the freshest cuisine. Cold appetizers including smoked duck filet or jellied red king crab are just a few of the starter options. Delicacies such as ladoga pike perch served with poached egg, or baked cabbage and caviar provide guests with an unforgettable dining experience. For dessert, one of the restaurant’s most popular options is the tangerine honey cake. Lighter dessert options such as sorbet or whipped berries are also served.

Guests can opt for a variety of tasting menu options, with some even boasting 14 different courses. Each dish is designed to tell a story and pop off the plate—literally. Some dishes such as the birch blast and condensed milk will present a three-dimensional show when scanned on an app specially curated for the restaurant. These little touches and engaging experiences are what make dining at the White Rabbit Restaurant so memorable.

Fine dining is present in all aspects of The White Rabbit. Guests will truly feel as if they have stumbled into Wonderland as they are immersed in a magical setting surrounded by gourmet dishes. Dinner is not just a meal, but rather an experience here at this world-renowned Moscow restaurant.

9 Moscow restaurants that won over the Michelin experts

White Rabbit restaurant.

Two Michelin stars: Chef’s Table (1st floor); recommendation: Fireplace Hall (2nd floor)

Artest is located in a two-story 19th-century mansion in central Moscow. On the ground floor is the Chef’s Table (where guests sit at the same table and are personally served dishes from the chef); on the second is a hall with a fireplace. The restaurant, opened only at the beginning of this year by experienced Russian restaurateur Arkady Novikov, takes its name from the first three letters of the given and last names of Artem Estafiev, a young chef from St. Petersburg. Estafiev already has experience of several large restaurants in Russia’s two capitals under his belt, plus internships in Spain and France. Artem uses farm products and creates his own innovations in the restaurant’s “laboratory”, where he makes vinegars from vegetables and berries (carrots, chokeberries, etc.), experiments with Japanese  koji  mushrooms, and keeps products at high temperatures. The exquisite cuisine is complemented by wines (more than 400 on the wine list) and unusual cocktails based on  kombucha  and fermented products.

"Vremya" set: potato, tomato.

What to order: “Vremya” set, blackened vegetables and fruits. Average check: 15,000 – 20,000 rubles (Chef's Table) / 2,800 – 9,000 rubles (Fireplace Hall) Address: 15/2, Trubnikovskiy Pereulok street Website:   artest.rest

Since 2017, brothers Ivan and Sergey Berezutsky have been serving creative and hi-tech dishes to guests at their Twins Garden restaurant.

Also installed here is a “kinetic farm” with products hanging in the air – symbolizing the 100-hectare farm in the Yaroslavl region from where most of the products are supplied. Part of the farm is located in the forest, so the restaurant always has seasonal berries, herbs and mushrooms at its disposal. The farm also rears goats, cows and poultry, and produces cheeses.

Far Eastern shrimp dumplings with strawberries, asparagus and trout caviar.

In addition to the main menu, you can order the “Rediscover Russia” set with local products from different regions of the country.
