Ordered items: Seasonal Kaiseki French (Dinner Course) - Non-alcoholic sparkling drink made from Ama-natsu oranges from Meiwa Town - Aoi Sake (using the only sake from Meiwa Town) - New onion cappuccino soup - Jussun hors d'oeuvres (local vegetable dishes) - Smoked Spanish mackerel - Jambon de Paris - Grilled fugu soft roe and terrine - Risotto with Gomitogome rice and life broth - Grilled sea bream with spices and bread - Seasonal palate cleanser (Halls mint jelly) - Roasted Matsusaka beef - Ise tea (comparison of 5 brews) - Tea sweets (custom-made monaka, Benihoppe strawberries, vanilla ice cream, homemade uirou) I learned about this restaurant through "Shoku Tabi Ichi Ai" and planned a trip specifically to visit it for my first time. As a result, it turned out to be a dinner that far exceeded my expectations. What surprised me was that the chef is also a potter, and all the dishes used to present the food are handmade. The explanations for each dish were incredibly detailed, allowing me to savor the stories behind them, creating an intellectually stimulating dining experience. Every dish was wonderful, but the Matsusaka beef particularly stood out. Coated in chicken mousse and slow-cooked to lock in the juices, infused with homegrown herbs, this dish was undoubtedly the best meat dish I have ever had in my life. It was so delicious that it left me speechless. Additionally, I was overwhelmed by the meticulous attention to detail, from the Spanish mackerel and fugu caught by the chef himself to the risotto made with aged rice to enhance moisture absorption. The Ise tea served at the end allowed me to enjoy the changes from the first to the fifth brew, making for a perfect after-dinner experience. Combined with the calm atmosphere of the restaurant, I truly enjoyed a luxurious moment that felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Visiting this place in Mie and sitting at this table is undoubtedly worth it. I would love to return on a special occasion; this is a place that will be etched in my memories for life.
