““Matsunaga was raised by Japanese parents in Düsseldorf, and brings those influences to bear on the ingredients from the surrounding hills and meadows, but in a thrilling loose-limbed lets-be-having-you sort of way””
““Matsunaga is an exhilarating talent and the Black Bull an idyll of a place that marries everything a food nerd could wish for to a real sense of hospitality, all open fires & generosity.””
