I visit this beloved restaurant four times a year.This time, I enjoyed a premium seat in early summer.Hair crab, edamame mousse, and fruit tomatoes.While it may sound simple when written, the presentation is truly artistic! This dish is packed with the rich flavor of hair crab! Ayuy soup from Gujo, Gifu.The ayu soup from the Wara River in Gujo, Gifu, is one of the summer highlights at CHIUnE! When you think of summer, you think of the ayu soup on the teppan! This is a smooth soup made with whole ayu fish! It feels like the essence of the ayu has melted into the broth, making me think, "Ah, I’m at CHIUnE!" Natural torigai (bird shell) with rice vermicelli.This is the beauty of simplicity! It’s simple yet beautiful and captivating! The umami of the torigai is truly concentrated! Clam risotto from Kuwana, with kinome (Japanese pepper leaves).A delicate risotto that conveys the texture of the clams! The aroma of kinome adds a touch of luxury! Kamo eggplant.Served as grilled eggplant! The chef skillfully cuts it with bare hands, even though it looks hot! Simply seasoned with consomme and salt. Chorizo, mushrooms, eggplant, and olive oil.This hearty chorizo bursts with flavor and aroma in your mouth, making it a standout dish at CHIUnE! Tonight, I’m enjoying the consistent deliciousness that shines through in this dish! Truffle consomme.This aroma elevates it to a top-tier consomme! With plenty of truffles, it’s incredibly satisfying! Spanish mackerel, sansho (Japanese pepper), Kashima clams, and rice sauce.Shiitake mushrooms.This is also a classic at CHIUnE! The combination of shiitake and egg yolk creates a wonderful world! Jo-shu beef Chateaubriand, nameko mushrooms, and 10-year aged red vinegar sauce.The Chateaubriand was absolutely amazing! As always, it was exceptional, with a perfectly crispy exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth flavor that was truly remarkable. I doubt many chefs can replicate this level of dedication!Amagi black pork, marinated with fruit for 10 days.This is a classic, but the happiness of being able to enjoy this marinated dish at the end is just delightful! It makes me think, "Ah, I’m back!" I wanted to order rice, but Satoshi told me it would affect the upcoming nyu-men, so I refrained! Nyu-men.Refreshing noodles in a broth packed with umami! Shaoxing wine ice cream.Chinese tea.I savored the best moments...I’ll be back in the fall!
