I finally visited "Cenci," a place I had been curious about for a long time. To put it simply, it was an incredibly enjoyable and educational experience that elevated my appreciation and understanding of food beyond just a meal.Course: JPY 24,200 Tea Pairing: JPY 8,500 Risotto: JPY 1,500 (half)**Cuisine** What impressed me the most was the exceptional balance of spices and vegetables. One of my favorite dishes was the squid, where the delicate flavor was perfectly complemented by just the right amount of spice. As the course progressed, I realized that the foundation of each dish was built purely on complex spices and vegetables. A wide variety of vegetables were generously used, and each dish had a clear and robust outline, yet I felt no heaviness or fatigue after the meal. The meticulously calculated composition of flavors was remarkable.**Drinks & Bread** This time, I opted for the tea pairing, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The staff provided detailed explanations about the intention behind each tea extraction and how it would pair with the flavors of the dishes, creating an exquisite pairing experience. The homemade bread served during the meal had a wonderfully pure aroma of wheat and paired perfectly with the sauces.I am truly grateful for opening a new door to flavors. I will definitely return to experience it again in a different season.
