If you visit Wakayama, you must stop by the renowned French restaurant "Hotel de Yoshino."We started the evening with a toast of champagne, and from the moment our glasses clinked, an elegant culinary experience began.We began with a small, perfectly baked choux pastry, followed by a soup that delicately brought out the sweetness of the ingredients.The appetizers were impressive, showcasing a rich umami flavor paired with beautiful sauces. Each dish was artfully plated, providing a visual delight as well.The fish dish featured a crispy, fragrant skin and tender flesh, complemented by colorful vegetables and sauces that enhanced the fish's delicate flavors.The highlight of the evening was the roasted Kumano beef fillet.As I cut into it, a stunning rosy cross-section appeared. Cooked to perfection, it was astonishingly tender, and with each bite, the rich flavor of the Kumano beef unfolded. The luscious red wine sauce added depth, making it a dish you want to savor slowly.The dessert was equally impressive.A glossy chocolate dessert paired with cold ice cream created a festive finish. Additionally, charming petits fours like macarons made an appearance, ensuring enjoyment until the very end.This cuisine embodies the "terroir" of Wakayama, skillfully utilizing the region's abundant ingredients while honoring classic French culinary techniques.From the flavors to the presentation, tableware, service, and ambiance, it felt like a complete work of art.This exquisite French dining experience is truly memorable and worth the trip to Wakayama.
