Lovely long table setting 

Perfect for any occasions

Welcome drink

HOMEMADE BREAD ＆ ORIGINAL SOYA BUTTER 

自家製パンとオリジナル醤油バター

Homemade bread served with hot stones in the bag to keep the breads warm. 

The breads was so tasty and delicious.

Amuse Bouche

Spanish Red Urchin/ Smoked Tofu/ 10 Years Miso / Fried Green Beans

スペイン産赤雲丹自家製スモーク豆腐新潟10年味噌

The dish was one of the highlight if you saw my video.

Creamy Spanish red urchin and bean sprout placed on top of the smoked tofu and the assertive taste from the 10 years old miso.

MUSHROOM/ PROSCIOTTO BLANCMANGE/COFFEE BEANS 

マッシュルームと珈琲カプチーノ 生ハムブランマンジェ

The mushroom soup was served with coffee foam and garlic chips on top of the prosciotto blancmange.

HOKKAIDO CRAB/ JAPANESE APPLE/GAZPACHO/YUZU 

北海道タラバガニと青森リンゴのカクテル 

Before

After pouring them together into the plate

So beautiful plated! You can have some fun pouring and mixing the ingredients onto a plate. 

Overall taste: light and refreshing.

AMADAI/ BLACK TRUFFLE/ KOSHIHIKARI/ SEAWEED 

あまだい松笠焼こしひかりの焼きリゾットブラックトリュフ風味

This is definitely another highlight!

The broth for this dish was prepared in a syphon manner to achieve the desired flavour.

The soup is ready!

The waiter will then pour onto the bowl with the premium fish in the centre.

I was told the Amadai (Tile fish) was grilled with oil and seasoned with salt before putting it open-air for half a day to achieve the perfect crispy texture of the skin with the meat inside still soft and tender. The fish is served along with baked risotto and edamame in it. The risotto and edamame are prepared using the rice from Niigata City as well. You can see that's a lot of effort to prepare this. 

JAPANESE WAGYU STEAK/NIPPON-ROSSINI STYLE 

和牛ステーキ "ニッポン" ロッシーニ フォワグラ トリュフの極上のひとさら

Japanese Wagyu Steak is one of their signatures and a must try. 

Chef cutting the beef

And tadah!!! The plating is amazing I know right!

The wagyu beef was served along with taro and seaweed butter and special crafted autumn leaves using red and yellow beetroots and baked onion. The beef is so tender and juicy.

PASSION FRUITS/ MIKAN/ LYCHEE

 パッションフルーツと蜜柑 ライチ

I don't mind having this everyday.  

The combination was perfect!

YAKI-IMO 

炭の薫り 焼き芋

The chef creatively used sweet potatoes and chocolate to create the autumn tree and leaves. There are sweet potatoes powder scattered over the dessert plate along with the bee pollen and maple syrup sauce to give the sweetness in it.

SMALL WORLD 

お菓子の盛り合わせ

Come in a small box containing four mini bite-size desserts to pair it with a cup of coffee or tea.
