A Biannual DelightThis is my review after a long-awaited visit.About a 15-minute walk from Kakouzan Station, a beautiful and dignified entrance appears in a quiet residential area.Upon entering the restaurant, we took off our shoes and waited in the reception area.The calm atmosphere was pleasant, and the hospitality was attentive.On this day, I visited with a friend, and we were soon guided to the counter seats.In addition to the 13 counter seats, there are private table seats and a second floor, creating a spacious environment.The course for the day featured seasonal ingredients of early summer and showcased delicate culinary skills.☆ Fried Young SweetfishCrisp and fragrant sweetfish paired with refreshing shiso,the creaminess of tofu and sour cream,and the juiciness of Nagano-grown green asparagus were impressive.☆ Silken Tofu and Sea Urchin SoupA gentle flavor that melts your heart with each sip,with the aroma of yuzu blossoms wafting through.☆ Grilled Isaki (Japanese Sea Bream)Perfectly balanced richness,served with a salad of water eggplant, cucumber, and shirasu (whitebait).The refreshing acidity of the jelly made with Tosa vinegar and watermelon was exquisite.☆ FlounderWith Kyoto-style fried tofu underneath and homemade karasumi (dried mullet roe) on top,the saltiness harmonized beautifully.☆ Hassun (seasonal appetizer platter) was a feast for the eyes:* Iwasui Cloud - with simmered turban shell* Beef Tendon Stewed with Tomato* Hyotei Egg* Grilled Eel Wrapped in Yawata StyleEach dish exuded meticulous care.☆ Rice porridge mixed with Aosa (seaweed)Served with grilled silver flounder and clams.It was a deeply flavorful and comforting dish.☆ Simmered Anago (conger eel)Fluffy and tender, it paired excellently with fried Kamo eggplant.☆ Rice and SukiyakiI absolutely love this! ♡So incredibly delicious!☆ Mascarpone Ice CreamHerb granita and juicy loquat.☆ Fig Water Dumpling Wrapped in Bamboo LeavesA beautifully lingering finish.This experience allowed me to savor the season with all my senses.I look forward to my next visit.It was a great meal! m(_ _)m
