Peach Soup Announcing Summer in Karuizawa: A Specialty of Our Hidden French Restaurant
Nestled in the lush greenery of Karuizawa, the restaurant "L'Hermitage de Tamura" lives up to its name, which means "hideaway" in French. Chef Yoshio Tamura, who has experience in France and was the owner-chef of the popular "La Fête d'Or" in Nishiazabu, Tokyo, has brought his unique ideas to Karuizawa. Here, you can enjoy exquisite French cuisine based on his extensive experience. |
This restaurant has a high rating.
In tourist areas like this, it's usually best not to have high expectations, but for some reason, I tend to expect a lot from Western cuisine, especially French.
This place is one of the restaurants highly praised by Kaoru Koyama, and I came here after reading his column. However, I often find that the food doesn't quite suit my palate, which can be disappointing. But I did enjoy the Maruka.
On the day I visited, I was surprised to see many people heading back to Tokyo right after, with many refraining from drinking alcohol. I doubt the French would ever eat French cuisine without wine. But safety first, I suppose.
As for the food, including the peach soup served in summer, it wasn't bad, but it didn't evoke any strong feelings or excitement either.
I had a course with many dishes, but all of them were around a score of 70. We had both white and red wine by the bottle. Considering the composition of the dishes (which were rather mild and lacked punch), perhaps it would have been better to stick with a robust white.
I was also a bit surprised to see many diners opting for fewer dishes at dinner, with many leaving after about two hours.
If I were looking for a special night in Karuizawa, I would choose Primavera over this place. Still, I think this restaurant is quite a bit better than the somewhat outdated dining at Manpei. (By the way, the women here were all dressed up and beautiful—was that just a coincidence?)
My rating is about 2.8.
