The flavors here are truly surprising. Recently, I've been to so many great restaurants that it's becoming rare to find one that truly astonishes me, but this place is delicious! Every dish is delightful. While I thought there might be a slight monotony typical of Italian cuisine, there wasn't a single dish—or even a single bite—that missed the mark. I often find myself thinking, "This dish is just okay," but here, I could tell the chef has a great sense of flavor.I came here from Hokkaido, hoping to see Mount Chokai and find a nice restaurant. In this quaint, calm town, I stumbled upon this gem that looked promising. The sushi restaurant nearby didn’t seem particularly budget-friendly, but I made a reservation here by chance. I even thought I might come all the way from Hokkaido just to enjoy the dishes here again. I definitely want to return next year.The desserts are also stunning. Can you imagine ice cream flavored with butterbur? It’s caramel ice cream with hints of butterbur and a slight bitterness, topped with Peruvian Amazon cacao. As a Hokkaido native, I have high standards for dairy products and ice cream, and this one met my expectations. Beneath it lies a panna cotta made with sake lees. As someone who is particular about sweets, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with this dish.I intended to buy some shotturu to take home, so I asked about the tart ingredients and ended up purchasing some Inaniwa udon as a souvenir from a nearby supermarket.As a postscript, after returning home from my ten-day trip, I’m now enjoying the shotturu. During my travels, I focused on visiting 100 renowned restaurants, but despite the distance, I find myself wanting to return here. I can’t help but say it’s exceptional. I crave those flavors again!
