Today, I was looking forward to another delicious encounter! This time, I visited "Kotowari o Hakaru Mise Bando." Since it’s a reservation-only restaurant, it’s not the kind of place you can just drop by, but I was invited this time and enjoyed the omakase lunch course. I also learned that this restaurant will be relocating in November, so they will be operating at this location only until the end of October. That means this was my last lunch at this spot. The course for the day included: - Hamo (pike eel) roe and swim bladder - Hamo (pike eel) and bones - Octopus and cucumber - Nagoya specialty "Kishimen" and water spinach - Pacific saury - Danto beef and mushrooms - Corn rice - Exquisite pudding Starting with hamo, followed by octopus, Pacific saury, and Danto beef, finishing with corn rice. There were some surprising combinations of ingredients, and the appearance of kishimen added a local touch, making each dish a delightful surprise as I wondered, "What will come next?" I love that with a course meal, you can enjoy not just the dishes themselves but also the anticipation of the next one. Each dish here was crafted to keep you curious about what was coming next, making the entire experience enjoyable until the end. And after the rice, we had the "exquisite pudding" to finish. It’s wonderful to have such a satisfying conclusion. Being a reservation-only restaurant adds a special touch that differs from everyday dining, but the atmosphere was not at all stiff. I was able to relax and savor each dish, which left a lasting impression. Above all, this was my last lunch at this location. Thinking about that makes me feel a bit nostalgic, but I’m excited for the new beginning at the new location in November. I can’t wait to see what kind of dishes will be served in the new space. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! (´∇｀)
