I heard rumors about an attractive restaurant opening in Yame City, Fukuoka, so I decided to check it out.The building has a simple siding exterior and resembles a two-story warehouse. Aside from the food, the design is minimalistic and quite plain.The owner, Takashi Hara, has no formal culinary training; he originally worked as a fishmonger and learned to cook on his own.Although the restaurant operates with just one person, his sister helps out behind the scenes. Every dish is creative and beautifully presented! ❤️We started with a toast of champagne and non-alcoholic wine. ❤️1. Cauliflower 2. Shrimp and Eggplant 3. Pumpkin and Carrot 4. Tomato and Basil 5. Corn 6. Turnip with Spices 7. Sea Bream and Melon 8. Fava Beans and Zucchini 9. Hinata Chicken and Black Pork 10. Asparagus and Fish 11. Wagyu and Port Wine 12. Pistachio and Rhubarb 13. Strawberry Yogurt 14. Tea Sweets 15. Specialty Coffee From start to finish, every dish was exciting. Not only were they visually stunning, but the flavors were also impressive! ❤️The creativity reminded me of my favorite Spanish restaurant in Kanazawa, "Respiracion," and it seems the owner is inspired by it as well. It makes perfect sense! I hope they aim for the "Destination Restaurants 2027" next year! It was a great meal!
