On-Site Experience
On the day I visited, I enjoyed white wine with my wife and friends, four of us. I usually prefer wines with sweetness or vanilla notes, but on this day, a fresh white wine with acidity matched the food perfectly.
- Strawberry Caprese: Fresh and delicious combination of acidity and myoga.
- Sawara Cutlet with New Onion Sauce: Rare and tender, no fishy smell, amazing taste.
- Firefly Squid Arrabbiata: Interesting dish with tomato sweetness and firefly squid bitterness.
- Pork Shoulder Roast with Kumquat and Orange Sauce: Perfectly cooked, delicious even without the sauce.
