(Visited on April 12)I visited this place again after a long time with my junior colleague. I had been here a couple of times shortly after it opened, but I forgot to make a reservation for my next visit, and before I knew it, it had become a hugely popular restaurant. Finally, after more than a year, I was able to come back.And I can confirm once again that it’s delicious! Especially the signature fried pizza, which is truly amazing. I believe they could run a successful business just with this dish alone. The number of dishes was plentiful, and the portions were quite generous, leaving me very full! While the volume was a bit much for me now that I’m older, so I didn’t feel as blown away as I did during my first visit, there are still several standout dishes that I would love to have again.The omakase course is just under JPY 20,000, and this time I added a pairing for just under JPY 10,000. Some of the wines, like the orange wine with a hint of tea aroma, were quite impressive and delightful.Here’s what I had:- Corn Almond - A chilled soup. The corn was incredibly sweet, and the almond gelato created a wonderful harmony, making it feel like a dessert right from the start!- Fried Pizza with Prosciutto and Cheese - This dish, inspired by Panzerotti, is a signature item here. Inside the fried dough, there are three types of melted cheese, topped with beautifully thin slices of prosciutto, resembling a rose. This is truly delicious. If they opened a fried pizza stand, it would surely be a huge success.- Dashi Soup - With a hint of burnt cheese aroma! It’s so comforting!- Bonito, Peach, Eggplant - A beautifully presented dish. The bonito was cooked just right, accompanied by peach and eggplant. However, I felt it didn’t quite enhance the natural flavor of the bonito, which was a bit of a shame.- Orecchiette with Managosh Chili and Bell Pepper - Another exquisite dish. The bell pepper-based sauce at the bottom paired perfectly with the chewy orecchiette, while the crunchy Managosh chili and the unique umami and texture of the surf clam created an interesting combination.- Sawara (Spanish Mackerel) with White Cucumber and Pistachio - The dish envelops you in a fresh aroma. The sauce made from cucumber, shiso, parsley, and possibly okra creates a delightful scent that pairs beautifully with the crispy fried sawara!- Spaghetti with Squid - This is another favorite of mine. The moderate saltiness of the caviar and the refreshing citrus flavor from the sudachi work wonderfully together.- Risotto with Green Asparagus and Surf Clam - The risotto itself was delicious, but the crunchiness and juiciness of the asparagus, combined with the chewy texture and ocean flavor of the surf clam, made this dish a joy to eat.- Prosciutto with Melon and Mint - Simple yet the best! Prosciutto and melon are often served as finger food at parties, but I never thought they were that delicious until now. This dish really opened my eyes to how amazing it can be!- Bimi Beef - An undeniably delicious steak. It has a good amount of fat yet a wonderfully tender texture. The lotus root steak was also impressively tasty.- Cappuccino - This is also a signature dish here. It looks like a cappuccino in a coffee cup, but underneath the espuma, you find homemade pasta with a delightful texture, accompanied by sakura shrimp. You can choose from small, medium, or large; I went with the medium. The pasta is fantastic, but the strong flavor of the shellfish might be a bit too much for me.- Hazelnut - Panna Cotta with Young Ginger and Mango - Cream Puff with Espresso - We enjoyed three different desserts, and even had dessert wine, all of which were delicious in their own right. The cream puff, which I feel has been served every time, could definitely create a line if sold at a pastry shop.Overall, I was reminded once again of how delicious everything is. While the price may have gone up a bit, the pairing included for just over JPY 30,000 is still quite reasonable. I believe it used to be less than JPY 30,000, so the sense of value has diminished slightly, but considering the number of dishes, it’s understandable.Dishes like the fried pizza, orecchiette, and prosciutto with melon left a lasting impression, making me think, "That was delicious!" On the other hand, the cappuccino still left me wondering, just like before. Also, at my age, the portion sizes can be a bit overwhelming, so I would appreciate a lighter course option.In any case, I was able to reaffirm that it’s truly delicious! It was a wonderful dinner and pairing! It was a great meal!
