Just a 4-minute walk from Shirokanedai Station!I revisited Sanwa!Since its opening in October 2021, the ultra-popular Italian restaurant Sanwa has rapidly risen to stardom.Chef Daisuke Watanabe, who honed his skills in Italy and later at the renowned "Chez Ino," and Shiki Murauch, who helped elevate Nakameguro's "Rodeo" to popularity, have opened their own place, leading to months of reservations shortly after opening (currently over six months wait)!In the 2024 Tabelog Awards, Sanwa received the "New Best Entry" award and has won "SILVER" for three consecutive years!Additionally, it has been nominated for the newly established "Selected" category in the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2024!Sanwa has become a representative Italian restaurant in Tokyo.The location is just behind Platinum Street, a short distance from Shirokanedai Station!The interior features a main counter with an open kitchen, table seating, and a semi-private room for groups, totaling 11 seats.Stylish yet comfortable, this might be the secret to its popularity.The course is omakase only, priced at JPY 22,000 (plus a 10% service charge).We will primarily focus on this course while adding and changing some intriguing menu items.This was my second visit to Sanwa in 2026.Once again, I enjoyed outstanding dishes, perfect pairings, and warm hospitality, making for a wonderful experience.Here are the dishes I had and my impressions:"May Maggio"★ Marinated olives and sun-dried tomatoes★ Mozzarella cheese mousse with Miyazaki mango★ Prosciutto and gnocchi fritti★ Boiled white asparagus with scrambled eggs★ Yamakachi's fresh tuna carpaccio★ Fried sardines★ Green pea risotto★ Granita with red shiso as a palate cleanser★ Grilled seasonal vegetables★ Grilled meats - Yamagata Obanazawa beef top sirloin - Australian bone-in lamb★ Pasta - Spaghetti with mushrooms from Hasegawa - Pici with sakura shrimp - Peperoncino with sea urchin★ Dessert and coffee - Caramel panna cotta - Iced coffeeA perfect moment filled with deliciousness and joy!I was instantly captivated by the mango cheese mousse, which highlighted sweetness and creaminess.The airy texture of the classic gnocchi fritti and the incredibly thick boiled white asparagus were also outstanding, showcasing a parade of wonderful dishes!I was particularly surprised by the green pea risotto, the divine cooking of the lamb by Chef Watanabe, and the pici with sakura shrimp, which I had for the first time!Moreover, the pairing and hospitality selected by Shiki Murauch combined to create a blissful experience!I look forward to continuing my visits to the exquisite Italian restaurant Sanwa.I can't wait for my next visit!It was a great meal!
