Stepping into this Michelin-starred establishment with a craving for high-quality Wagyu, I was immediately struck by the bright and airy ambiance. The restaurant is thoughtfully designed in a palate of light tones, revealing a keen attention to detail – from the charming, whimsically printed plates to the overall serene setting.
FOOD:
Arriving for lunch, we found the menu somewhat abridged, yet still offering a compelling selection of appetizers and meat-centric main courses. Our culinary journey began with the Wagyu Kobe Mini Burgers. These truly were mini, clocking in at just a couple of bites each, but they delivered an explosive punch of flavor. The patty was exquisitely juicy, and the soft, pillowy bun perfectly complemented, rather than overshadowed, the rich meat. It was a masterclass in burger simplicity and balance – nothing superfluous, just pure, unadulterated deliciousness. Next, we sampled the Wagyu Bolognese Pappardelle. The handmade pasta was impeccably prepared – smooth, perfectly al dente, and skillfully seasoned. While the sauce was undeniably enjoyable, I personally found the tomato base to possess a slightly excessive acidity. A touch more sweetness, in my view, would have elevated the dish to true harmony. We also took advantage of their excellent lunch special, opting for the Kagoshima Prefecture Wagyu Steak (accompanied by your choice of an appetizer/soup or tartare). The tartare proved to be an inspired selection – impeccably seasoned and flawlessly executed, particularly delightful when paired with the crisp, complimentary bread. The steak itself was a paragon of proper preparation, boasting that characteristic melt-in-your-mouth, lusciously marbled texture of Wagyu, and a subtly sweet, lingering fattiness. It was wonderfully tender, with a pleasing chew, and the impeccably seared crust provided a delightful textural counterpoint.
SERVICE:
The service was consistently excellent – friendly, attentive, and demonstrably professional. The only minor critique I could offer is that the pauses between courses were, perhaps, a touch lengthy at times, but this ultimately did not detract from the overall positive experience.
VERDICT:
This restaurant is an absolute must-visit for discerning carnivores seeking a truly exceptional meat-centric experience. While Wagyu takes center stage, they also offer a fine selection of beef from both the US and Australia. We thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
