I visited "Kitchen Toshiki" in Nagoya, Shin-Sakae.This place makes you want to enjoy your favorite dishes as much as you like—truly the best Western-style restaurant.This time, I went for the à la carte menu, indulging in a selection of my favorites.The deliciousness of the food is undeniable, but Chef Toshiki Ai's wonderful personality is also a major charm of this restaurant. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel at home, naturally drawing you back.I started with the "Flower Garden Salad with 10 Types of Vegetables."As the name suggests, it’s a colorful and vibrant dish. The various textures and flavors of the vegetables are delightful, making it a perfect start to the meal.Next up was the "Hamburg Steak & Fried Sweet Shrimp."The juicy hamburg steak paired with the impressive fried sweet shrimp is a classic combination, but each element is executed to perfection, bringing a smile to my face with its deliciousness.The "Ultimate Black Wagyu Beef Stew" is rich and deeply flavorful, allowing you to truly savor the essence of the black wagyu.When you visit a Western-style restaurant, you crave dishes like this.Then came the "Fried Sweet Shrimp & Fried Scallops."The light, crispy batter encases the sweetness of the shrimp and the umami of the scallops. Its simplicity highlights the quality of the ingredients.The "King Crab Cream Croquette" is also exquisite.Rich and creamy, it’s packed with the luxurious flavor of king crab. The moment you bite into it while it’s still hot is simply irresistible.And then there’s the "Special Raw Hamburg Steak."This dish allows you to directly experience the deliciousness of the meat, leaving a strong impression typical of Kitchen Toshiki.I even enjoyed the garlic toast, leaving me completely satisfied until the end.Here’s what I had that day:- Flower Garden Salad with 10 Types of Vegetables- Hamburg Steak & Fried Sweet Shrimp- Ultimate Black Wagyu Beef Stew- Fried Sweet Shrimp & Fried Scallops- King Crab Cream Croquette- Special Raw Hamburg Steak- Garlic Toast- Dessert & CoffeeHamburg steak, fried shrimp, beef stew, cream croquette.It’s amazing to enjoy such beloved Western dishes at such a high level.And with Chef Toshiki Ai's warm personality, the dining experience itself is enjoyable.When I come to Nagoya, I will definitely visit again.For me, it’s the best Western-style restaurant.
