【Conclusion】A perfect place to conclude your evening in Hakodate with exquisite cuisine and wine that showcases the local ingredients of the southern region.I took my family on a trip to Hakodate. After deciding to visit in June, we were captivated by the climate and charm of the town, so I brought my family along. We played at Onuma Park, checked into a hotel near the red brick warehouses, climbed Mount Hakodate, and then headed to this restaurant, creating a wonderful itinerary. I made a reservation through Tabelog, pre-selecting the "B Course" and settling the bill in advance. Since I have an elementary school child, it was fine as long as they could enjoy the same course as the adults.This restaurant is located in a white building right in the middle of the slope leading up to the ropeway from the Hakodate Red Brick Warehouse. It used to be a souvenir shop but has been entirely transformed into a restaurant.Upon arrival, a somewhat imposing gentleman greeted us and led us to the second floor via the elevator. The space was large, but there were only about three other groups of customers besides us, one of which was a couple of Caucasians.After looking at the menu, I decided to go for a wine pairing, which included four types: champagne, white, white, and red. I requested this pairing, although the price wasn’t listed, I estimated it to be around JPY 10,000.The meal began with champagne, "NICOLAS Feuillatte." It was the same as what you would order a la carte. With a refreshing aroma reminiscent of white fruits and smooth bubbles, it was a delightful and elegant champagne.The "Herring" was sourced from Hakodate. It was rich in fat and served on a sablé, topped with yogurt cream and black truffle. It had a strange harmony that made me look forward to the upcoming dishes.The "Hokuto Garo Oysters" were steamed local oysters served with a combination of lemon sorbet, coconut milk, and oyster ice cream. My companion, who dislikes both oysters and coconut milk, found this interesting combination surprisingly palatable, as the flavors complemented each other beautifully. I, on the other hand, was very satisfied with the thick oysters.The next white wine was a Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France, "Les Rosiers" by Béruvière Janier. It was refreshing with a mineral quality and a rounded fruitiness, making it easy to drink and delicious.The "Skate with Squid Ink" was the restaurant's specialty. At first glance, it appeared as a black sphere, but it was a dish combining skate cheek meat, squid ink skin, and curry sauce. It was a light yet flavorful and intriguing fish dish.The "Foie Gras with Tomato" was served with brioche. It looked like a colorful assortment of tomatoes, but the foie gras was cleverly disguised to resemble an orange tomato, making it hard to distinguish at first glance. The tomatoes were naturally sweet and delicious, while the foie gras was soft and best enjoyed with the brioche.The second white wine was "MICHEL CAILLOT MEURSAULT 2017," served at a higher temperature. It was smooth and creamy, possessing a richness akin to red wine while still showcasing the elegance of white wine.The "Anago with Eggplant" featured fried conger eel served over a pudding-like dish (similar to chawanmushi) with eggplant and spinach mousse. Each ingredient could be enjoyed together or separately.The "Flounder with Flower Zucchini" had a sauce made from zucchini. Eating the white fish with the sauce was incredibly delicious.The red wine was "Domaine Virginie Thunevin Rouge 2019" from Bordeaux's Gironde. It had a layered berry aroma and an impressive full-bodied flavor that was unlike any I had tasted before.The "Oguni Beef" comes from a Wagyu farm in Hokuto City, Hokkaido. This brand of beef is rarely found outside the southern region. It was served with shallot sauce. The texture was excellent, and the fat felt crispy, making it a memorable dish that I would recommend to foreigners.For dessert, we had "Cream Cheese, Shallots, and Plum Ice" for a refreshing finish, followed by chocolate and ice cream for chocolate lovers. After coffee, we concluded with a tower of macarons, a grand finale that left the guests thoroughly satisfied. I was quite full and immensely satisfied with the local ingredients. The wines were all wonderful, and I believe the quality is unmatched in Tokyo. The total bill for three people came to around JPY 66,000.As the last customers, we were escorted outside by the staff, who watched over us as we walked down the dark slope. This is a must-visit restaurant in Hakodate, leaving a strong impression of the city.
