This insight into George’s experiences with depression was fascinating as well as super emotional. He’s a deep one, is George. I didn’t know, until I read the New Yorker interview Matty did, the degree to which George suffered from depression. His advice here is great. Love you George.

Sato Besso (さとう別荘) in Ogori

During my recent trip to Ogori, I had the pleasure of visiting Sato Besso—a beautiful and tranquil retreat that left quite the impression. Specialising in duck meat (a delightful culinary adventure), the venue also offers an atmosphere that’s as captivating as it is serene—perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life, or simply enjoy a fancy dinner with a side of calm.

The surroundings are nothing short of stunning. At the heart of the property is a traditional Japanese pond, where koi fish glide through the water with all the grace of a ballet dancer. It’s the ideal spot to channel your inner zen—take a deep breath, relax, and pretend you’re a character in a serene Japanese film (minus the dramatic plot twists, of course). The setting is a visual feast for anyone who appreciates the beauty of Japanese design, combined with a peace that’s positively therapeutic.

Inside, Sato Besso offers a blend of traditional Japanese rooms and spaces with a cheeky touch of European flair—yes, it's as stylish as it sounds. The mix is effortlessly balanced, making the place both elegant and incredibly inviting, as if you’re stepping into a space where harmony was the interior designer’s main objective.

The rooms are beautifully decorated, and whether you're admiring the tatami mats, the shoji screens, or the European-inspired furnishings, you can't help but marvel at the thoughtful design choices. The overall vibe is one of calm sophistication, making it the perfect spot to kick back, reflect, and perhaps even ponder the mystery of how you’re going to get your hands on more duck meat.

As for the service—let's just say it’s 5/5, no question. The staff were as attentive and courteous as you could hope for, going above and beyond to ensure your experience was enjoyable, stress-free, and maybe even a little bit magical. Their warmth and professionalism are like the cherry on top of an already impressive visit.

In short, Sato Besso is the kind of place where every detail is designed to make you feel like you’re on a peaceful retreat in paradise. From the picturesque outdoor features to the thoughtfully curated interiors, it’s an idyllic destination for anyone seeking a beautiful and tranquil escape in Ogori. Highly recommended if you’re looking to unwind, eat amazing duck, and pretend you live in a zen-like wonderland.
