🇯🇵
jumped at the chance to visit this italian restaurant which has been on my bucket list since i began exploring food in japan. initially attracted by their famed roll cake, their other savoury dishes i also thoroughly enjoyed.
started with their refreshing pear and burrata, followed by their signature chilled uni cappelleni, in a light herbal dressing which was so so good especially with the chewy noodles. following was an offmenu lobster salad before their signature omelette and this round with white truffles. our last starter was my favourite, lightly battered and fried tara shirako with a slightly spicy arrabita sauce, so so divine.
to follow, we had 3 pastas to share. i’d say the pastas here tasted very rustically italian, strong flavourings and sauce focused, not the typical japanese italian style but to each their own. lemon garlic cheese was light and not too overpowering with acidity, oxtail was also very good. but my favourite was the ika-sumi, the squid ink sauce was rich and flavourful, coating the tagliatelle perfectly with some rough pieces of squid and cherry tomato, this was so good i could’ve had the whole plate myself.
next for main was a lightly grilled venison dressed with a balsamic glaze before ending with a their famed roll cake. no pistachio today (means i have to come back again), but a christmas version of strawberry with a light addition of white chocolate and perfectly soft and eggy chiffon, so so so good and completely worth the wait to finally get a chance to try this place.
