I made a reservation for Saturday night at 6 PM.It takes about a 7-minute walk from the station.I opted for the wine pairing course priced at JPY 12,000. I heard that if you add a little more, they will pour a full bottle, so I went with that option.I requested to avoid shellfish and liver dishes when making the reservation.There are 2 counter seats and 3 table seats.For the main meat course, you can choose from beef, pork, or beef tongue (the beef tongue comes with an additional charge of JPY 2,000). I ordered the beef steak.Grilled white shrimp and zucchini, topped with something like shrimp chips.The bread was hot and delicious.Zuppa di pesce with fluffy and tasty fish.Grilled eggplant and red squid with squid ink and bitter melon foam—both the plate and the dish were pitch black, which was interesting.Bean and ghost fish flan, served hot with plenty of snap peas. The bottom was like chawanmushi (savory egg custard). The fish was tender.Octopus rice, served with a generous portion of rice, water octopus, and potato chips, with an ethnic aroma.Grilled fish collar with okra, tomato, and coconut sauce—tasting like Thai curry.The steak was tender and delicious.For pasta, I could choose between squid or pork, so I went with the pork and salt lemon option.Raspberry pie.The hospitality was excellent.There was an additional 10% service charge, totaling JPY 39,000 for one person.This is a high-end Italian restaurant without pizza.Since I usually don’t visit places like this, it was a valuable experience.It was a great meal!
