I came here for a birthday dinner with my spouse. Overall experience was great. The quality of the food was very high, much of it locally sourced from various places in Japan, and the presentation was beautiful.
The attention to detail and the explanation of each course from the chef was clear. He cooked and plated the dishes in the open kitchen, and then also brought it over to the table to serve us. Next time, I'd like to sit at the counter so I can watch the chefs prepare each dish more closely.
Every dish had a unique taste and the ingredients were so fresh. In particular, the sauce with the conger was so tasty. The blood orange cold cream that contrasted with the warm pomfret fish complemented the flavors so well. The French pigeon was the best I've ever had in my life - meat was so tender and juicy. Squid was so so delicious with the shirako filling - creamy and tender, not chewy. Homemade bread and butter was also some of the best I've had. Warm and perfectly crunchy crust. We were lucky to get extra servings of if, and also the Kyoto bozushi which was also tasty.
The chocolate tart and the pine ice cream with the citrus, plus the mango citrus desert were a perfect end to a great meal - not too sweet and with just the right amount of citrus refreshing cream.
Lovely meal! I hope to come back.
