I visited this restaurant in Kitano, Kobe with three friends. Since it’s a popular spot, we made a reservation about three months in advance through a booking site.Upon entering, the first thing that catches your eye is the elegant U-shaped counter. The interior, inspired by the beauty of the sea and mountains, is truly captivating.The course was not only delicious but also full of surprises. It started with an amuse-bouche of tomato droplets, followed by a milk crepe with sardines and seasonal vegetables, and a soft serve ice cream made from hairy crab—each dish was enticing just by its name.The standout for me was the hairy crab soft serve. The rich flavor of the crab combined with the sweet and fragrant caramel sauce and the refreshing touch of young ginger created a unique taste that you can only find here. Each bite revealed a different nuance, making it a delightful experience where we couldn’t help but share our thoughts with each other.Following that, we enjoyed visually stunning siphon dishes and plates infused with the essence of new burdock, each carefully crafted to engage the senses of smell and temperature, keeping the excitement alive until the very end.Particularly noteworthy was the specialty dish, scallops with carrot mousseline "Chartreuse," which was exquisite. The two types of carrots seemed to represent traditional Japanese patterns and gardens, showcasing the chef's dedication to his craft.The presentation of the dish explanation cards was lovely, enhancing the overall theme of the course. It felt more like experiencing "delicious entertainment" rather than just a meal.Before we knew it, nearly three hours had passed, but it felt like no time at all. I naturally thought, "I want to come back in a different season," making this a memorable grand maison.Thank you very much!
