I visited for dinner in Hakodate. The restaurant is located along a major road, but it was quieter than I expected, so I actually passed it by once. The ambiance is cozy, with soft lighting and spacious tables that make for a comfortable dining experience. Since the restaurant is run by a couple, the pace of food and drink service was indeed a bit slow. I apologize for dozing off towards the end due to fatigue from traveling.Overall, the food was delicious. The highlights were the marinated fugu, cold pasta with sea urchin, abalone dish, asparagus, and crab spaghetti. Each dish was so good that I wanted to order more.One area for improvement might be the alcohol selection. While there is a wide variety of wines available, it seems that glass wines are not as plentiful, with a focus on bottles. Since there are no pairing options, you have to decide for yourself. With only two groups per day, it might be challenging to keep bottles open for pairing. They also had some Hokkaido wines, but some had strong characteristics that didn’t quite match the dishes. That said, the food and the Burgundy glass wine were excellent, so I will definitely return when I visit Hakodate again. It was a great meal!
