Regular visits are a must! ⭐️Chef Katsuaki Yoshida honed his skills in Italy and opened this place in Nakameguro in 2018.You can enjoy simple yet bold dishes that truly bring out the flavors of the ingredients.Although it’s not listed on Tabelog, I received permission from Chef Yoshida to post this review.

The rich and creamy burrata pairs perfectly with the juicy sweetness of Setoka—absolutely delicious!▶ Chilled Capellini with Sea Urchin Generously topped with rich sea urchin, it pairs wonderfully with the Genovese sauce! The strong saltiness makes it a perfect match for wine (๑ ́ᄇ`๑)▶ Steamed Egg Custard with Hairy Crab and Gorgonzola Packed with hairy crab, it’s full of concentrated flavor (○・∀・○) The unique flavor of Gorgonzola adds a great accent, making it incredibly delicious!!▶ Omelette with Black Truffle and White Asparagus The aroma of black truffle spreads beautifully, and the texture of asparagus adds to the amazing taste!
