What a surprise! It’s been a whole year since my last visit! I was shocked to check my past reviews (☉｡☉)! Amidst the hustle and bustle of returning home, I managed to snag a last-minute cancellation spot. m(_ _)mI had a heartfelt reunion with Chef Minemura, who waited outside in the heat, and finally got to experience the much-anticipated "Ao's Dining Table." We started with a consomme made from eel by Mr. Fujimoto from Ehime.The aroma of this consomme was enticing even before it was served, and it exceeded my expectations with its rich flavor, making me involuntarily close my eyes in delight (〒﹏〒)♡. (I was constantly worried about looking too emotional in front of the cheerful neighbors, so I spent the entire time trying to hold back tears.)In my opinion, the most delicious pasta in the world is the "Chilled Fettuccine." That day, there were two types of sea urchin available, but of course, I chose the red sea urchin from Mr. Fujimoto in Ehime.Chef Minemura is renowned for his exceptional culinary skills and his obsessive attention to detail, but what I admire most is his straightforwardness and the value he places on loyalty, friendship, and trust (teehee).I believe that his earnest and (seriously) dedicated personality has fostered many connections and trust, leading to the incredible dishes he creates today.On this day, the signature dish "Red Shrimp and Bisque" featured a giant red shrimp caught that very morning by fisherman Mr. Hasegawa, who personally delivered it to the chef.It was the best I’ve ever had, so delicious that I wanted to scream, and I immediately posted about it on social media. Then, Mr. Hasegawa reposted it, saying it was a "miraculous timing and the chef's spirit" that brought about this culinary connection! I am grateful to Mr. Hasegawa for responding to the chef's request, deeply thankful to the chef, and appreciative of everyone at Team Ao. I also thank my good fortune and the divine for everything!ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/♡I will comment on the details of the dishes in the photos. I’m afraid this might get too long, haha! The moment compote of "Koyama Orchard's Toromomo" was also incredible, so I hope you’ll take a look at the photos. m(_ _)mThank you so much! It was a great meal. m(_ _)m※ ※ ※So, starting this week (tomorrow), I will be taking a break for health reasons. Even though I can’t dine out, I look forward to reading everyone’s reviews! I’ll pop back in with a review when you least expect it! (@^^)/~~~
