in sapporo, japan (december’23)
quite a treck away from sapporo city center, this italian establishment has gained quite some popularity lately. famous for his homemade ham, there was indeed a huge selection of them sandwiched between our courses tonight. i found most of them interesting to eat, but not very deep in flavour as i prefer my ham to be and most of them were quite dry. my favourite were the proscuitto with mozzerella, gnoccho fritto with mortadella. there wasn’t much synergy between his cooked proscuitto cotto ham with rice and the awabi also, was expecting a wow that didn’t really deliver.
his other dishes on the contrary was a bit of a ‘surf and turf’, mixing random ingredients together and very rich, bold flavours as well. geoduck strawberry salsa verde and his homemade mustard seed, as well as the artichoke baked oyster with ample shiso flowers were not very pleasant to eat. the very sour fermented mushroom broth with spinach and chilli oil was also quite unpleasant, grilled sausage was rather dry.
enjoyed his simple creations though, his christmas special tajarin made in front of us, with a light butter cheese sauce and piemonte white truffles was so good. and also enjoyed the end of a special milk ice cream which was rich and creamy. great try, but too far and not the style of japanese/italian food i like.
