In this instance, I drew five tokens.【Taste and Content】As the menu (13 dishes) cannot be disclosed, I will introduce the dishes I was able to photograph (names, taste, and content).Photo 1:Dish Name: "Noto Hiba Aroma Chopsticks"The course begins with the Noto Hiba aroma chopsticks, which emit a subtle wooden fragrance when held. They can be taken home, and I still occasionally use my favorite pair at home.Photo 2:Dish Name: "Feeling the Arrival of Spring..."It seems there are two cans involved (laughs). The description mentions "the 4-year-old child of the Iwashita family" (it includes sardines, bamboo shoots, and four types of wild vegetables). The fatty sardines have a rich umami flavor, while the bamboo shoots are fresh and have a crisp sweetness. The wild vegetables are generously drizzled with olive oil, enhancing the aroma and richness of the ingredients. This dish beautifully combines the flavors of the sea and mountains, capturing the essence of the season.Photo 3:Dish Name: "Tsuki Ken Hon Sakana Yu"This is a rare tuna cutlet made from Katsuo.Photo 4:Dish Name: "Shoecake"A dessert served on a slipper. The visual impact made everyone laugh, but the taste was equally impressive. The slipper was reportedly made with a 3D printer and was a women's size (laughs).Photo 5:Dish Name: "Funny Stone"Only two pieces are real chocolate, while the rest are uniquely presented as stones (on the right). The chocolate contains macadamia nuts.【Interior】The interior retains beams from the factory era, creating a warm and calming wooden atmosphere.
