| Remarks |
Reservation only, one group per day |
About 15 years ago, I visited this restaurant located at the intersection of Yamate Dori and Tamadou in Nakameguro.
I remember trying to memorize the long name by repeating it like a mantra more than 10 times before inviting friends.
While it was still relatively inexpensive compared to now, the restaurant only took reservations for a couple of groups a day.
Starting with champagne cocktails, the wine pairings were exceptional, and Chef Kobayashi's intense expression as he meticulously explained each dish left a lasting impression.
The next time I returned, his apprentice was running the restaurant, which had become a more casual Italian dining experience.
Eventually, I would even see Chef Kobayashi on variety shows, realizing he had gained significant fame.
Upon hearing rumors of a new location opening in Karuizawa, I decided to pay a visit, and it seemed like the dish presentations and the overall intensity of the cuisine had only increased.
Even the olive oil felt different, and each appetizer was crafted with genuine care.
The surrounding ambiance and natural scenery only enhanced the upgraded experience.
For the main course, I had pheasant, which was cooked to perfection with a sauce and presentation that were exquisite.
Though reservations are limited and prices have risen, the extraordinary atmosphere, food, and wine created an indescribably elegant feeling.
I truly believe this restaurant is worthy of making a reservation just to experience Chef Kobayashi's culinary creations.
