I visited ESqUISSE to celebrate my ring purchase and enjoyed a lunch course.The restaurant features a simple yet elegant atmosphere, predominantly in white, from the entrance to the interior.As for the view from the window... let’s not get our hopes up too high.The appetizer consisted of kombu-cured squid and Japanese radish with bergamot, along with surf clam, rhubarb, and trout roe, creating a light composition centered around fragrance and acidity. The dish maintained the distinct characteristics of the ingredients while achieving a harmonious finish, which was quite impressive. They even accommodated my allergy by providing abalone, showcasing their attentive hospitality.The combination of flower pepper, spiny lobster, green asparagus, and firefly squid harmonized beautifully, reflecting the restaurant's unique character. The main dishes, including red snapper and lamb, added a French depth, particularly the lamb, which was cooked to perfection.For dessert, we had a delightful progression of strawberry, rhubarb, ginger, and further flavors like butterbur and hassaku, maintaining a consistency that felt like an extension of the meal, showcasing the chef's skill within its simplicity.The total for lunch was just under JPY 30,000, which is certainly not cheap, but considering it included a toast glass and mineral water, it felt reasonable.I experienced the realm of delicate cuisine here.I look forward to visiting Le Ran for dinner to compare the offerings.
