Located within the Tokyu Harvest Club VIALA Karuizawa, this Japanese restaurant offers a calm atmosphere while being family-friendly.
This time, I enjoyed the "Kanade" course, which is just over JPY 10,000.
- Appetizers: Clockwise from the bottom left:
* Chrysanthemum Greens Tofu with Ikura and Sea Urchin: Rich and impressive flavors of ikura and sea urchin.
* Grilled Eel with Mitsuba and Silver Sauce: Warm and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
* White Shrimp and San Dong Greens in Dashi.
* Bamboo Shoots and Chestnut Gluten with Sesame Miso and Kinome: The chestnut gluten resembles walnut tofu.
- Soup: Yoshino-style Fava Bean Puree with Ayu Fish, Tofu, Kikyo Daikon, and Renkon.
- Sashimi: Natural Bluefin Tuna, Shinshu Salmon, and Sweet Shrimp. The accompanying vegetables are artfully arranged with leafy greens resembling daikon and Shinshu daikon. The Shinshu Kanryu Miso and wasabi were both delicious and spicy.
- Stewed Dish: Shinshu Pork and New Cabbage in Hakata Style. New Potatoes, Snap Peas, and Friend Sauce. The combination of the pork's umami and the sweetness of the cabbage creates a gentle broth.
- Grilled Fish: Kanpachi with Takana, served with a vinegar sauce containing peas, pickled shallots in red wine, cheese, apricots, and mochi. Each dish pairs perfectly with sake.
- Rice: Normally, it comes with Asari Clam Dofukameshi, but I was intrigued by the Nodoguro and changed it to Nodoguro Takikomi Gohan for an additional JPY 2,000. Toppings included Mitsuba and Aonori. The miso soup with eggplant and enoki mushrooms made with Shinshu mixed miso, along with Nara-zuke and pickled cucumbers, were available for refills.
- Dessert: Sudaresu with Azuki Mille-Feuille, Matcha Powdered Sugar, and Seasonal Fruits.
The Indonesian staff member who attended to us was incredibly kind, and their Japanese explanations were impressive, which left a lasting impression.
When I asked if they could prepare a softer portion of rice for my 10-month-old daughter, they kindly brought it out in a small plate, perfectly cooked. My daughter enjoyed it thoroughly.
It was a great meal!
