I had the pleasure of visiting CUCCAGNA, a members-only Italian restaurant, thanks to an invitation from a member.We started with Prosciutto e Melone, where the aroma and texture of the Italian Pregiato melon paired beautifully with the ham.Next, we enjoyed fried sweetfish from Miyazaki, which was wrapped in pasta dough with a paste made from its innards and served hot—perfect with champagne.The homemade focaccia was delightful as well.I underestimated the specialty Caprese, featuring burrata and Tokushima tomatoes from Kochi. It was the best Caprese I’ve ever had, and I finished it in no time.Following that, the tiger fish carpaccio, accented with sage and Oscietra caviar, was exquisite.The grilled sweetfish scales were served in a broth made from sweetfish and shellfish, accompanied by girolle mushrooms and a type of pasta called risoni, all enhanced by the aroma of summer truffles.For the main course, we had the premium red beef "Nobuyuki Beef" from Inoshin, specifically the top sirloin, served with Daikoku shimeji mushrooms and asparagus. It was simply delicious.To finish, we had a pasta dish featuring red sea urchin from Kombu-mori in Hokkaido, prepared as a peperoncino.We also tried the special spicy arrabbiata as an extra serving, which left us quite full.For dessert, we enjoyed a compote made from a whole peach paired with a Basque cheesecake. Both the plain and white truffle versions were delightful.I had a wonderful time, thank you for the great meal!
