I’m Cher. I started this space to trace the way cities speak through food and drink—and to share my reflections on sake, culture, and the stories behind the table.
I’m originally from Beijing. I completed my undergraduate studies at Purdue, earned my first master’s degree at NYU, and I’m now beginning a new chapter at Keio University. I believe every city has its own cultural rhythm, and the dining table is one of the most expressive and intimate ways to understand a place.
I love visiting fine dining restaurants for their craft and imagination, but I’m just as interested in the stories behind small, humble spots—the devotion, the choices, and the people who make them special. Through words and photographs, I hope to share these experiences with you.
I’m also an SSI-certified International Kikisake-shi, Shochu Kikisake-shi, and a sake instructor, and I continue to contribute in my own way to promoting sake culture.
巴塞罗那的Majestic Hotel and Spa Barcelona GL和Hotel El Palace Barcelona，前者坐落在感恩大道上，更偏向传统的贵族风，选街角带小阳台的房间望出去就是来来往往的人流，特别美。后者更加安静，设施和布局也更加现代化，时不时会有一些一线品牌在这里办酒会，楼下的餐厅也是间米其林餐厅，距离感恩大道是10分钟的步行时间。
这两家性价比都在线，作为吃货舒适度很高，但要注意如果定Majestic不要和他们的公寓混淆。
塞维利亚当之无愧的第一名一定是Hotel Alonso XIII。这在西班牙南部可以算得上是地标性的酒店，由国王阿方索十三世下令建造，在其爱女的大婚典礼上开业。整座建筑外观和装饰的每一个细节都展现着艺术文化鼎盛时期的风采，硬件设备又符合着现代人外出的需求，地理位置也在最轻松的塞维利亚老城区边。总之是独属于这座美丽城池不可替代的酒店。
Salmón, yogurt y miel trufada以脆面包打底，简简单单的酸奶蜂蜜三文鱼叠在一块真是绝了。Huevos rotos被强推，poached egg是主角，但又间接地把artichoke发挥到极致，很是柔软。Alcachofas queso y caviar这道菜才是以洋蓟罐头为主角，微甜口番茄酱和鲜奶酪打底，仔细吃起来特别有意思。还有Chipirones, cebolla y alcachofas也很不错，罐头蛏子主打一个酸咸口。
