I wanted to celebrate by visiting a Michelin two-star restaurant, so I made a reservation for a daytime visit on my day off.The menu items have unique names instead of just being called appetizers, such as "Essence," "Pulse," "Shadow," "Silence," "Resonance," "Intuition," and "Joy."**Essence** This dish features Japanese radish and squid. The presentation was stunning.**Pulse** This included surf clams, baby rhubarb, and black文字. I really enjoyed the texture of the surf clams.**Shadow** Green asparagus and firefly squid.**Silence** Red sea bream with wild vegetables. The red sea bream was slightly raw, which paired well with the wild vegetables.**Resonance** Lamb and flower zucchini.**Intuition** Strawberries and rhubarb. The crunchy texture of the sweet and sour rhubarb was absolutely delicious.**Joy** Butterbur buds and badiyan.Personally, I loved the surf clams, red sea bream, and the strawberry dessert.They used organic Japanese vegetables like wild vegetables and flower zucchini, and each dish was very tasty.As expected from a Michelin two-star restaurant, everything was delicious. The wine pairing was also excellent. I opted for a non-alcoholic drink, and the Ippodo roasted bancha was fragrant and rich, almost like alcohol.I would love to visit again. It was a great meal!
