The best restaurant I've discovered this year!

I must say, this was the most delicious restaurant I visited this year. I can't even remember the runner-up!
After enjoying the Chikadaki Onsen and shopping at Super Tsurya, I arrived just in time for my reservation. Starting early was definitely the right choice.
I was served quickly before the place filled up.
From the very first dish, the stuffed mushrooms, I was impressed. The mushrooms had a crisp texture, and the meat juices were delightful. Topped with fresh chopped onions and crispy bacon, the combination was simply exquisite.
Could this bacon be prosciutto? It was incredibly delicious...
The owner's message about enjoying tapas made perfect sense. You should definitely order the tapas. The escargot had a rich, deep flavor, possibly enhanced by the use of a whole leg of prosciutto in the sauce.
The cider had a strong apple flavor but also a depth that paired wonderfully with the meal.
Then came the roasted Iberico pork. I had never encountered such sweet and tender Iberico before. Both the meat and the grilled vegetables were cooked to perfection, showcasing their best flavors. It was truly delicious.
And the paella! I experienced a rich broth like never before. It had a wonderful aroma and umami that suggested it wasn't just seafood stock. The fish was tender, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection, balancing sweetness and softness.
He was very satisfied, saying, "You found a great restaurant!" I definitely want to return and explore other Spain government-certified restaurants as well.
I am grateful for this new experience. The staff were sharp and responsive, making me feel comfortable. The interior was even more chic and modern than I saw on Google, with a relaxing ambiance that allowed me to unwind.
