I visited around 8 PM on a weekday. Thanks to a friend who offered me their seat, I was finally able to fulfill my long-awaited wish to dine here.As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the delightful aromas of butter and garlic. My already growling stomach was ready for a feast.On this day, I ordered:- Melon and Burrata- Crab, Gorgonzola Cheese, Chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard)- Asparagus and Egg- Jalapeño, Sea Urchin, Omelette- Juicy Chicken, Fritto- Garlic and Butter- Shrimp, Arrabbiata- Shiitake Mushroom and Tomato- Pistachio, Basque- Pudding(I'm sorry if my memory is a bit hazy!)Here are some standout dishes that left a lasting impression:- **Crab, Gorgonzola Cheese, Chawanmushi** The moment I took a bite, the umami and richness burst forth, making me gasp in delight! I was surprised to find chawanmushi in an Italian restaurant, but it was a wonderful dish that beautifully fused Japanese and Italian flavors. The Gorgonzola added a great accent, making it irresistibly delicious.- **Juicy Chicken, Fritto** Crispy yet fluffy. This fritto redefined my concept of fried chicken with its juicy texture. The essence of the chicken was packed in every bite.- **Garlic and Butter** This is the ultimate pasta; simple is best. It was incredibly delicious. The bold flavors made me exclaim in surprise. I wonder if anyone can replicate Chef Yoshida's mastery of garlic cooking (T ^ T). Despite the simplicity of the ingredients, I realized that it’s something that can never be reproduced…Since we were the last customers, I had the chance to chat with Chef Yoshida, making for a truly satisfying experience! ♡
