I was picked up from Ajiro Station. This restaurant is located within the Muinatural facility, and Chef Mineura from Ao in Nishiazabu oversees it entirely. LAT.34°N is said to be an abbreviation for latitude 34 degrees north. After being picked up, I had some time to relax in the lobby. The restaurant is situated on a hill, so the signal isn’t great, but they kindly provided Wi-Fi. You can enjoy your meal while overlooking a garden full of blooming flowers and the Sagami Bay.The dishes are crafted to capture the peak moments of the ingredients, and I was excited to see what was in store. It started with a presentation of the ingredients for the day, and the squid was still moving!We began with a mackerel consomme, which had a wonderful aroma. The pasta infused with clam flavor was delightful, and the sashimi was so tender it felt like it melted in my mouth.Then came the most popular dish: Kitakari potatoes aged for two years in a snow room, served with a cheese and milk-based sauce. It was surprisingly sweet, and I hear some people come back just for this.The fried Isaki fish was fragrant, and the chicken had a nice texture and aroma, with crispy skin. The shrimp risotto had a rich flavor that reminded me of Ao. I would love to stay overnight next time; it was a wonderful experience.Dining time: 2 hours (They provide transportation according to the train schedule from Ajiro Station. Reservations are required for the pickup.)
