I had been looking forward to visiting malca for a long time.I was taken there by a regular customer for the 10 PM reservation.This place is a high-end restaurant where you can choose your favorite dishes, making it a casual yet perfect spot for a special date.I left the selection to Sommelier Matsumoto, who paired the dishes with tea, similar to a tea pairing.We started with "Uffu Cold Brew Black Tea 'Ete'" served with prosciutto and malca's famous tuna bruschetta.The prosciutto, drizzled with a light olive oil, was so delicious that I finished it in no time.I had tried this bruschetta before at the above-mentioned and svolta, and it was just as delightful the second time. The base is made from thin bread sourced from a famous breadcrumb shop, topped generously with tuna and mozzarella cheese, which is simply divine.Next, I highly recommend the clam vongole bianco.I enjoyed it with "Uffu Cold Brew Rooibos Tea 'Soleir'" at this point.I love clams, so after some deliberation, I decided to order it. The pasta was served in a broth-like soup with large clams, and the flavor was light enough to drink the broth completely. It was truly delicious.For the finale, I had "The Tea Company Hiki 'Gokase Hana Houji'" with the Aichi Prefecture's Megumi duck.I enjoy beef, but often find it too rich, so I’ve been opting for lamb, duck, or venison lately.They intentionally left the duck skin not too crispy, allowing some fat to remain, which is a thoughtful touch.Despite my high expectations, just looking at the photos of the dishes the next day brought me joy, proving that it did not disappoint.The staff were also very kind, which explains why regulars keep coming back.【What I ordered】- Fresh Bluefin Tuna from Yamako: 3,400 JPY- Charcoal-Grilled Spanish Mackerel Carpaccio from Ozaki Suisan, with eggplant and bell pepper sauce, cucumber marinade: 3,800 JPY- Fluffy Omelette with fried shirasu from Aimaru Suisan, tomato sauce, jalapeño: 3,600 JPY- Megumi Duck Breast from Aichi Prefecture: 9,800 JPY- Clam Vongole Bianco with Linguine from Naruto Amagasaki Suisan: 3,800 JPY- Scallops from Hokkaido with lemon cream sauce and handmade squid ink tagliolini: 3,800 JPY- Blood Orange Sorbet: 1,000 JPY- Uffu Cold Brew Black Tea 'Ete': 1,000 JPY- Uffu Cold Brew Rooibos Tea 'Soleir': 1,200 JPY- The Tea Company Hiki 'Gokase Hana Houji': 2,200 JPY
