【About the Dishes】
◇ Yanagisawa Farm Tomato Potage
The Amela tomatoes had a delightful sweetness complemented by the creaminess of the cheese.
◇ Saito's Prosciutto
Moist and perfectly salted.
◇ Ito's Croquette
Made with white fish called Ito and topped with a vibrant tomato sauce.
◇ Homemade Onion Focaccia
Refills are free.
The focaccia was packed with onions and had a delightful contrast of flavors with its crispy surface and aromatic olive oil.
◇ Spinach with Fuwazawa Farm Eggs
The spinach, caramelized with maple syrup, complemented the broken eggs and delivered a wild flavor that was truly memorable.
◇ Tanaka's Carrot, Yashima Tofu, Carrot Juice
A whole carrot roasted to perfection, with a crisp exterior and soft interior that was easy to slice through.
Topped with fried carrot greens and served with a veal stock sauce, it offered a delightful sweet and savory harmony when paired with kumquat.
◇ Sakura Sea Bream, Norabou Greens, Yuzu
The beautifully crisp skin of the Sakura sea bream was enhanced by a fragrant sauce made from yuzu and butter.
The Norabou greens were simply roasted and reminiscent of rapeseed blossoms.
◇ Azumino Pasture-raised Pork, Charcoal Grill
The broccoli and red onions were a standout.
However, the pasture-raised pork lacked distinctive flavor and was difficult to cut.
With a mildly fragrant truffle sauce, it managed to pair better with other side dishes.
◇ Sanada-maru Meloso
Meloso means 'honey-like' in Spanish and is a thick, porridge-like dish.
Tomato-based with several types of mushrooms, it was filling enough to have 2-3 servings.
◇ Ninja's Blueberry Ice
This was the most impressive dish.
It was topped with rich blueberry sauce, and both the inside and outside were a beautiful deep purple color—gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat, showcasing high-quality ingredients.
◇ Taguchi's Strawberry Yogurt Mousse
This plate was delightful in both appearance and texture, packed with strawberries, meringue, and caramelized nuts.
The yogurt mousse was rich yet refreshing, delivering a deliciously thick experience.
◇ Hanabana's Guimauve
Hanabana beans are known in Nagano, and each one was coated with a crunchy texture and dusted with roasted soybean flour.
However, this dish didn’t quite do justice to the beauty of the Hanabana beans, leaving us puzzled as to its purpose; it was neither particularly delicious nor inedible, leading to a quirky ending to the course.
【Impressions】
As the restaurant is located within a hotel, the atmosphere was pleasant, and I was seated in a semi-private area, allowing for a relaxed dining experience.
I would be thrilled to come here on a date!
With abundant use of local vegetables, I gained insights on how to utilize them while thoroughly enjoying the flavors of highland vegetables.
Despite being a French course, it didn’t feel heavy at all after finishing, especially the bread and desserts were superb.
It was a great meal!
