I visited "Cerca Trova," located about a 5-minute walk from Nobeoka Station in a residential area.Chef Yoshikawa Keishun honed his skills at renowned restaurants in Tokyo before returning to his hometown at the age of 27 to open this establishment.This exceptional restaurant showcases top-quality game and fresh seafood sourced from trusted hunters and fishermen, all crafted with a unique sensibility.♦︎ A world of exquisite ambiance with gray walls mixed with soot and flickering candles ── The interior features antique shelves and the gentle glow of candlelight, creating a beautifully atmospheric space.Photography of the dishes is not allowed, allowing guests to sharpen their senses solely on the flavors before them without distractions from visuals or information.The warm and attentive hospitality from the chef creates a relaxing atmosphere, even amidst a sense of tension.♦︎ Overwhelming respect for the ingredients and overall impressions ── The minimalist approach to cooking, without unnecessary embellishments, enhances the powerful umami and potential of each ingredient to its fullest.The precision in dehydration and cooking of the game and local seafood delivered directly from hunters is truly extraordinary.The overall structure of the course and the quality of the wine pairings are perfect, providing deep emotional experiences with every bite.This is a supreme establishment representing Kyushu, where one can encounter overwhelming vitality and a unique aesthetic that can only be experienced here.It was a great meal.Review by "Instagram@_1show" Thank you for reading to the end.
