respiracionUsing local ingredients alone is not particularly challenging. Only when the essence of the land's climate and culture is captured on a plate does it become gastronomy.This place has that.The dishes that utilize ingredients from Kanazawa and the Hokuriku region are beautiful and delicious. Each plate is not only well-crafted, but the overall course structure is excellent. There’s a nice rhythm that keeps the anticipation for the next dish alive.What makes this restaurant even more enjoyable is the service.The hospitality is outstanding, and the explanations of the dishes are precise. The words are not just for showcasing knowledge; they enhance the understanding of each dish in front of you, making it even more enjoyable.Even if the food is good, some places can ruin the experience with poor service. Here, it’s the opposite. The staff elevates the value of the cuisine even further.The non-alcoholic pairings had a hint of complexity, which left an impression, but I look forward to their refinement in the future.Food, structure, service. All of these evoke a sense of Kanazawa.Great gastronomy provides a reason to travel.I believe respiracion is one of the reasons to visit Kanazawa.
