Unlike my last visit, I had the pleasure of trying the most expensive course this time.I can't recall what the amuse-bouche was, but everything was delicious.The appetizer was a clam flan, featuring luxurious ingredients like sea urchin and caviar, resulting in a well-balanced and very tasty dish.Next came the squid and white asparagus. I learned that they only use white asparagus from France. While both the squid and the white asparagus were tasty, I think the locally sourced white asparagus I had in Hokkaido was even better. I felt there was no need to insist on using French asparagus.Next was abalone and shiitake mushrooms, which were carefully prepared. The flavors were well-infused, and the shape was preserved, providing a nice texture and pleasant chewiness.The next dish, the lobster and tenderloin, was also incredibly delicious.The wine selection included some excellent options by the glass, and every wine I ordered was delightful.Above all, I was impressed by the outstanding service. The explanations of the dishes and the attention to detail were excellent.As someone who loves good food but is on a budget, I found it a bit pricey for a solo visit. However, for a date or special occasion, the ambiance and quality seem to justify the cost.
