Of course,if I were to naturally incorporate "revisit" and the "joy of à la carte," it would go like this.---I revisited "tens." in Gaienmae.This restaurant is part of the Svolta group, led by Tsukasa Kitano, who also manages malca. The Svolta group is a notable restaurant group that spans various genres, including malca, Yakiniku Mochio, Tonkatsu Koko made yaru ka., and Svolta, with locations primarily in the Gaienmae and Aoyama areas.On July 1, they are set to open a new location, which seems to be aiming for Michelin recognition, hinting at the next stage for the Svolta group.The theme of tens. is "aroma, temperature, and presence."True to this phrase, the atmosphere in the restaurant is lively, centered around the counter, allowing guests to enjoy the ambiance as the dishes are being prepared.Rather than feeling overly formal like a high-end Italian restaurant, it gives the impression of an adult Italian dining experience where you can freely enjoy appetizers, pasta, and wine based on your mood for the day.The option to order à la carte is also a delightful aspect.You can have a hearty meal or simply enjoy some light bites with wine.The flexibility to tailor your meal to your mood is very much in line with the essence of tens.Kitano was born into a fish shop in Awaji Island and honed his skills at an Italian restaurant in Osaka and TACUBO.Perhaps due to this background, his dishes reflect a close connection to the ingredients and a strong awareness of cooking techniques and temperature.Particularly at tens., the pasta is a highlight.The restaurant is open until late at night, with a menu available even after 10 PM, which is characteristic of this place.It’s great for a substantial first meal, or you can come back for another plate of pasta after dinner.This is a place that seems to ease the tension of malca into a more relaxed evening atmosphere.Rather than "eating properly," it’s about enjoying Italian cuisine in the moment.It was a restaurant where I could feel the momentum of the Svolta group and the passion of Kitano.
