The refreshing aroma reminiscent of lemongrass provided a delightful accent, making the sweet shrimp dance in my mouth.◾️ Corn This dish showcased a rich and sweet Gold Rush corn soup, complemented by corn ice cream and popcorn. The variety of textures created a harmonious flavor that corn lovers will absolutely adore!◾️ Skate A specialty dish featuring skate cheek meat wrapped in prosciutto, deep-fried in squid ink batter, and seasoned with garam masala. It’s rare to enjoy skate cheek, and the creativity of combining it with squid ink batter and sauce is impressive.◾️ Horse Mackerel The star of this seafood dish is grilled horse mackerel, paired with marinated new onions, round shiso leaves, and a transparent tomato sauce infused with green onion and ginger oil. The acidity of the onions and the aroma of the shiso blend beautifully, while the rich and fatty horse mackerel ties the dish together.◾️ Barley Pork The main course featured a generous serving of sautéed barley pork on a large plate. Various sauces, including mustard, ginger mousse, and carrot puree, highlighted the deliciousness of the pork.The side dish, potato gratin made with aged potatoes from Obihiro, was also exceptional. The rich and creamy sauce paired perfectly with the deep sweetness of the potatoes, creating a wonderful balance!◾️ Palate Cleanser After the main course, we enjoyed a palate cleanser made with plums and cream cheese in a blancmange. Its smooth and creamy texture, along with its gentle acidity, left a lasting impression.◾️ Dessert The dessert was a chocolate mille-feuille with crispy chocolate layers sandwiched with cream and blueberries. The pairing with rich and mellow milk gelato was fantastic, and the balance of sweetness and bitterness was exquisite!◾️ Mignardises The course concluded with beautifully plated, colorful, and high-quality macarons as tea sweets.-----------------------------This French restaurant is also easy to book through PocketConcierge, making it a convenient choice for diners.
