The opening day |
2017.11.19 |
Tonight, I'm taking a stroll around Kyoto in Shijo, where the bustle has returned. When I opened the sliding door of a typical Kyoto townhouse in Ayakoji Shinmachi, the proprietress greeted me from the back. The spacious space is captivating with the back garden, and the counter has a calm, wickerwork ceiling. The owner is Mr. Karatsu, who is from Shimabara. He trained at Kyoto Kitcho and opened a restaurant with his wife, who is also from the same hometown, in 2017. It is a popular Kyoto restaurant with one Michelin star. First, I quench my thirst at Heartland. ① Appetizer - A small dish of lightly seasoned prawns, cockle (Maizuru), and peas. We talked about the difference between cockle from Maizuru and Miyazu being the shipping time. I also brewed sake every day. ② Soup - Large scallop sweet potato. The yellow sweet potato, which looks like a kinchaku, has a lightly seasoned broth that matches the rich flavor of the scallop. It must be the taste of Kyoto Kitcho. I'd like to visit. ③ Sashimi - Yellowfin tuna from Himi, Toyama, and white tilefish from Yawatahama, kombu-jime. The yellowfin tuna was especially delicious. It smells better than real tuna. Served with fragrant and delicious toasted white sesame seeds, salt, and chiri vinegar. ④ Hassun - Female swimming crab, red tilefish, minke whale, karasumi, sea bream Sushi, issun beans, Noto black seaweed, and osmanthus. None of them are flashy, but they have a solid flavor and are deep and modest. The homemade karasumi in particular is roasted and has a rich aroma, and the minke whale has a texture like meat. Come to think of it, whales are mammals~♫ ⑤ Junna and chilled 100% buckwheat noodles - Kyotango 100% buckwheat noodles, junna and pounded okra. It's a refreshing palate cleanser, but it's at the level of an amateur soup stock (sorry). ⑥ Grilled pomfret with roasted sesame seeds - The roasted sesame is fragrant and delicious, and the seasoning is just right for the mild pomfret. ⑦ Assorted stew - Shrimp potato, Kamo eggplant, Manganji pepper, shiitake mushroom, Nanjing. The colors are wonderful and the taste is very Kyoto-like. I'm happy to have such a luxurious assortment (^^) ⑧ Rice dish - Freshly cooked rice with Yawatamaki, Hana Sansho, Chirimen Sansho, Wagyu beef simmered with shigure, and pickled vegetables. ⑨ Dessert - Strawberry Ice cream When the husband, who is not very talkative, forgets to explain the dishes, the landlady urges him, saying, "Come on...". In every household, the wife is strong, and the husband who is run over by her is a good-natured person. That atmosphere seems to be the gentle Kyoto-like atmosphere that the restaurant exudes. However, the chef's cooking skills are not to be missed. It's a typical Kyoto restaurant where you can have a leisurely meal for the first time in a while. I'm sure the relaxed atmosphere is the chef's "ma". Thank you for the meal.
