The soup, blended with the pods, expands before your eyes, with a concentrated aroma that is vibrant and rich, reminiscent of fava beans. The flavor seeps into your palate, fresh and sweet, leaving a lingering, rich aftertaste. A quintessential early summer bite from Trace.【Salted Foie Gras】★★★★★ A classic salted foie gras. This time, the foie gras is incredibly rich, with a delightful bitterness that pairs perfectly with the airy acidity of the bread. Delicious.【Chilled Enoki Cappellini】★★★★★ Enoki mushrooms are vacuum-packed and steamed, then mixed with the steaming liquid, pasta, and enoki, finished with pure sesame oil. The fine bubbles cling to the noodles, creating a smooth texture, while the enoki aroma spreads alluringly. As you bite, the crispness of the enoki releases its umami, saturating your mouth. With a pure, unadulterated flavor, it is rich yet smooth, leaving you sighing in delight.【KFP】★★★★★ Biting into it, the crispy coating feels delightful, and the juicy meat is simply succulent. This time, the pigeon bursts with flavorful juices, light yet aromatic. A summer-inspired KFP. Though a staple, each time it offers a unique experience that leaves a lasting impression.【Ibusana Beef Tartare】★★★★★★ Beautifully colored meat from a 92-month-old breeding cow. The flavor is clean and deep, with no off-putting taste. The meat gently envelops your mouth, reminiscent of the care it received. An exquisite tartare that is simply irresistible.【White Asparagus】★★★★★ Slowly fried at low temperature for 30 minutes. The carefully dehydrated white asparagus releases a powerful sweetness from the tips and a bitterness from the base, enhanced by the oil of the coating, creating a lingering aftertaste. Delicious.【Ayugai Bisque】★★★★★★ Upon tasting, the fragrant skin and fins, along with the beautiful bitterness of the liver, explode in your mouth! It allows you to experience the charm of grilled ayu directly and effortlessly. The long aftertaste continues even after swallowing, leaving a deep impression of ayu.【Risotto】★★★★★★ The aroma wafting from the plate stimulates your appetite. Upon tasting, the fragrance is rich like beans, and the thickness of sweetness and umami draws you back to the plate. A deep deliciousness that makes you sigh.【Nagoya Cochin Ramen】★★★★★ The soup is extracted by blending the whole Nagoya Cochin and straining it. A clear broth without any off-flavors, yet dense in umami and amino acid-like acidity that grips your tongue, conveying its deliciousness. The wheat flavor of the noodles is highlighted, completing the ramen's deliciousness. Refreshing yet robust, it showcases the essence of Nagoya Cochin.【Ibusana Sirloin and Tendon Stew】★★★★★★ The sirloin from the breeding cow used in the tartare. Cooked slowly, with a well-seared exterior. Inside, it is perfectly dehydrated and full of elasticity. The concentrated meat flavor and aroma respond to your chewing, bursting forth in a refined manner. This dish vividly showcases the deliciousness of Ibusana's breeding cow.The tendon stew is made with only wine, tendon, and onions. The beautiful umami of the meat, the fruity aroma and sweetness of the onions, and the richness and acidity of the red wine create a harmonious depth.【Milk Ice Cream】★★★★ Ice cream made with just sugar and milk. Its fresh and light flavor spreads smoothly and melts away. Delicious and not tiring to eat, it is truly perfect for dessert after a meal.【Pudding】★★★★ The smooth bitterness of caramel gives way to the sweet and fragrant egg flavor, with a firm texture that gradually transforms into a softer sensation like a gradient. The magical pudding changes its expression depending on the part you cut.Thank you for reading. If you found this helpful, I would appreciate a "like" and a "follow."
