I regularly visit CHIUnE, and this is my review from May 2026.The course beautifully expresses the transition from spring to early summer with ingredients like white asparagus, clams, hairy crab, tiger fish, and summer truffles.The vibrant aroma, clear and robust umami, and delicate yet rich flavors were present in every dish, showcasing the unique style of CHIUnE.In particular, the hairy crab and edamame mousse and the fried tiger fish were perfectly balanced, creating an exquisite experience.The course maintained a remarkable balance, allowing the flavors to shine without feeling heavy, making it a delightful experience until the very end.I look forward to my next visit.▪️Price▪️Course + PairingJPY 75,000▪️Course Duration▪️Just under 2 hours▪️Dishes Served▪️【White Asparagus Rice Noodles】★★★★★【Clam Risotto】★★★★★【Hairy Crab and Edamame Mousse with Fruit Tomato】★★★★★★【Isaki (Japanese Sea Bream)】★★★★★【Chorizo】★★★★★【Consommé】★★★★★★【Fried Tiger Fish】★★★★★★【Shiitake Mushrooms】★★★★【Kisaki Chicken】★★★★★【Amagi Black Pork】★★★★★【Pea Rice】★★★★★【Dessert: Shaoxing Wine Ice Cream】★★★★▪️Details Below▪️【White Asparagus Rice Noodles】★★★★★Thinly sliced white asparagus cut to the same size as rice noodles.Upon tasting, the vibrant aroma of white asparagus beautifully unfolds, complemented by the chewy texture of the rice noodles.
