Jazz musicians can spend as much time on the road as they do at home. Some of them have developed a knack for sniffing out seriously good food and wine between gigs, and even between sets.
This is the second part of our interview with six different music-makers in which we posed the same questions about their favorite spots abroad and at home.

[AW] Dinner with wine-grower Francesca Padovani (of Fonterenza) at Trattoria Il Leccio, in Sant'Angelo in Colle (Montalcino). Just after we ordered our food, Francesca ran across the street to a small storage garage where she keeps some of her wine. She returned with a bottle of Vouvray from Thierry Puzelat. I loved that she chose a Chenin Blanc from the Loire to accompany the huge array of antipasti - not typical but perfect!

Minato
Japanese
[MB] Last time I was in Tokyo I went to a restaurant called Seisoka. They serve slightly modernized versions of traditional Japanese dishes and have a fifth-generation, Edo-style potter making all the ceramics. Both the food, and the plates the food was served on, were beautiful. My favorite dish was also one of the simplest. It consisted of plain ramen served in a large bowl carved out of ice. The idea was to dip the ramen into a small bowl of egg yolk and then into a little sesame broth. I love Japan for these kinds of simple and elegant dishes.
