毎年師走に素敵なランチを楽しむのです❗・・・KYOKAWA（久米） : youshokuyanopasutatochi-zuke-kikyoukawa

泉崎ロータリーから久米の飲食店街に入ると、O'sHOUSEの通り沿いにある洋食屋「KYOKAWA」さん。
毎年、年末の土曜日にランチを食べるのがnobuta夫婦のルーティンワーク（笑）
過去レビューに縷々記載していますが、店主のK氏が洋食屋と言ってるだけで、かなりレベルの高いイタリアンのお店になります。
ご時世ですから年々ランチコースも値上がりしてますけど、令和5年12月時点で税込み2,500円です。
内容は、前菜、パスタ、パン、肉料理、珈琲、デザート。
それぞれが素晴らしく美味しいので、満足度が強烈に高いランチコースになりますよ❗❗
写真と共に掲載すると、前菜は
　サーモンのカルパッチョ
　八朔と甘夏のゼリー添え
になります。nobuta夫婦は、かなり色々と食べてますけど、妻曰く、このサーモンは、今まで食べたカルパッチョの中で一番美味い❗❗❗❗とベタ褒めしてました（笑）
続いて、フランスパンとパスタが登場します。
近年、こちらのランチパスタは、「バジルと蓬のジェノベーゼ」が定番だったのですが、今回は、
　コーンクリームのカルボナーラ風
でした。いつもと違うことからかなり新鮮（笑）
とても美味しいっすね～
そしてメインは、
　豚肩ロースの低温調理
　自家製薩摩芋とカカオジャンソース
でした。近年、ランチメインは大体鴨肉が主体だったので、これまた、いい意味で驚きでしたね。
そして、最後に定番デザートのバスクチーズケーキ❗
それまた、美味いんですよね（笑）
やっぱり、KYOKAWAのランチコースは見事ですね～
夫婦ともにこれを食べないと年越しでしませんもん（笑）
美味しかったです。
ご馳走様でした❗❗❗❗❗

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
これも昨年末と同じレビューの仕方かもしれません。
大晦日。オードブルはKYOKAWA。
手頃な価格。美味しい料理。
パスタも個別に購入。
ここ数年の風物詩。
しかも、元旦まで持たず、大晦日で9割無くなるんです（笑）
美味すぎなんですよ。
こちらに写真だけ掲載しときますね。
ご馳走様でした❗❗❗
　

Nobuta participated in the Naha Tug of War. The event started after 3pm and took more than an hour to reach the actual tug of war. I thought the tug of war would be over in about 10 minutes, but after hearing the MC's explanation, I learned that it was a 30-minute match, and since nobuta was in the center, I couldn't just abandon the tug of war and pull out, so I made up my mind and pulled out for nearly 30 minutes. Even though my left arm was dead from frozen shoulder, after the tug of war, my right arm and right shoulder were also in trouble, so I may have paid a great price (lol). Anyway, after the tug of war, I stopped by French cuisine (Western Cuisine "KYOKAWA" in Kume, which I knew was participating in the "Higashimachi Ura Naha Festival" by setting up a stall in front of a hotel near the Kumoji Rotary. Yes, I had decided to end the day at "KYOKAWA". The reason is that lunch service has been suspended since this spring, and lunch will resume only on Saturdays in October, so I wanted to tell the owner that I would visit for lunch before the end of the year. Nobuta and his wife make it a rule to enjoy lunch at "KYOKAWA" every December, and in a sense, they end the year by praying for good health (lol). At the booth, they had Yanbaru Agu pork loin for 800 yen, pork shoulder loin for 600 yen, and the standard pudding. They also had a perfect snack Bento (boxed lunch) for takeout for 900 yen. On the terrace of the booth, I enjoyed a can of beer and loin while relaxing from the fatigue of the tug-of-war (both my shoulders were starting to hurt, and my hands were peeling from the rope), and after eating the pudding, I decided to go home with my Bento (boxed lunch)... The "snack Bento (boxed lunch)" I ate when I got home was very filling and delicious! This was the end of a hard and fulfilling day of enjoying food and the tug-of-war. Of course, as I write this review (four days later), my body is still in bad shape. I don't want to become an old man (lol).

Once or twice a year, when I accumulate Tabelog points, I use Nobuta for lunch at Kume's Western Cuisine "KYOKAWA." I decided to use it again this year for lunch on the 29th of the year. Reservations are required for this lunch. We are not open for lunch on days when we do not have reservations. And although it's called Western Cuisine restaurant, it's actually French cuisine lunch, and the quality is in the French cuisine realm (lol).The menu for this day was: Appetizer Amaou strawberry and shrimp salad Strawberry dressing Pasta Basil and lotus Genovese Meat Dishes Roast pork shoulder loin with Spanish lemon and black olive cream sauce Served with 5 kinds of beans and quinoa stew Dessert Basque style cheesecake Drinks Coffee, tea, soft drinks. First, here are the photos of the appetizers. The sour and sweet strawberry dressing brightens up the vegetables. Small shrimp and strawberries are sleeping under the salad. Next is the classic Genovese. Although it is a standard, the ``basil and lotus'' part changes depending on the season. Nuts go well with Genovese. The accompanying bread is also delicious! And the main Meat Dishes. Most of my meat is game, but this time it was my first pork shoulder loin. There was a generous amount of stew underneath the fairly sized loin, and it felt like I was eating rice and meat together. As a result, my stomach was full when the Basque cheesecake appeared (lol) The shop was run by the owner himself, but the cake shop run by the owner's father was famous for its cheesecakes. So, naturally, cheesecake is delicious and a classic. On this day, we had a Basque-style dessert, and of course it was delicious! With coffee, our casual French cuisine lunch was 2,200 yen including tax. In the end, I only visited three times in 2020, but it's still a great value for money!!!! I'm so happy. I then ordered hors d'oeuvres for New Year's Eve and received them on New Year's Eve. That's what this photo looks like. This hors d'oeuvre is also luxurious, isn't it? The contents are as follows.・7 types of colorful cherry tomato salad ・Bagna cauda (radish, carrot, cucumber, celery) ・Quail eggs stewed in red wine ・Liver cream ・Pickles ・Lemon and rosemary marinated olives ・Potato salad with mentaiko ・Cumin cabbage and bologna Sausage - Lax ham - Jamon Serrano - Spicy Iberian pork salami - Assortment of 5 types of sausages (coarsely ground, spicy, smoked, basil, black pepper) - Fried Kita Akari and sweet potato - 2 types of steamed dishes (Hana Temari Siumai, Ginger) Gyoza / Dumpling) ・Roasted duck breast ・Grilled 3 kinds of carrots and zucchini ・Sautéed soft shell shrimp ・Roast beef with cream sauce of Japanese pepper ・Grilled sweet potato and beets ・Roasted yuzu pork from Kagoshima Prefecture Spanish lemon and black olives Sauces - Grilled cauliflower and tomatoes - Low-temperature cooking of chicken thighs marinated in salt malt Ponzu sauce with grated onions and green onions - Peperoncino with smoked duck breast and snap peas It's already a wonderful hors d'oeuvre (lol) Usually by New Year's Eve. I ate more than half of it, got the rest on New Year's Day, and finished it in two days. Mr. KYOKAWA. Lunch and hors d'oeuvres were both great!!! Thank you for the meal!!!!!!

This was also an event held at the plaza on the first floor of Ryubou, and nobuta's favorite casual French cuisine restaurant ``KYOKAWA'' was opening a store there. It was the first time I saw ``KIYOKAWA'' opening a store at an event. Nobuta is the only good restaurant with a ``5.0'' rating in Tabelog (in the `` Other'' category), but on this day, it was open for dessert and alcohol. The standard is cheesecake, but since I sometimes eat it at restaurants, I ordered two types of pudding for 600 yen, which I have never ordered at a restaurant. I knew that the quality of the desserts was high, but the pudding I received at the venue this time was also delicious (lol) The two types were honey cheese pudding and chocolate cheese pudding, and the honey cheese was said to be an event-limited product. It is said to be a pudding mixed with high-quality honey from the prefecture, Japan, and foreign countries. I thought the chocolate cheese at nobuta was delicious, but my wife was hooked on the honey cheese. They praised it for being very delicious. I'm making a reservation for lunch at the end of the year, so I'd like to order the classic cheesecake + pudding then (lol) It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!!! That's right, they said that they will be holding a stall at an event in the future if they have the opportunity.

Real today. The long-awaited Go To EAT Okinawa has reopened❗We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the review we have been looking forward to. This is my first 5 star review on Tabelog. Since the course was different from the usual course, I chose the "Other" category. This is quite an old topic, but I still think it was amazing (lol) The store is celebrating its 5th anniversary at the end of May and seems to be thriving, so I'm grateful for the excellent customer service. There is a casual French cuisine restaurant called ``. When I visited for the first time, the chef and owner explained to me that the restaurant was run as a `` Western Cuisine,'' so I truly believe that it is a `` Western Cuisine.'' Of course, nobuta is very grateful to be able to enjoy French cuisine lunch at a reasonable price typical of a Western Cuisine restaurant. On my first visit, I saw a wide variety of alcoholic beverages lined up at the counter, and when I read that the drink menu was lined with brands of Western alcoholic beverages that I had never seen before, I decided to try alcoholic beverages that the chef had collected as a hobby. I was amazed by the variety of alcoholic beverages that were on display at the counter (lol).One day, more than a year had passed since my first visit, the opportunity came to me. I did. This day is Saturday. I was looking forward to making a reservation for French cuisine (Western Cuisine) lunch for 2,200 yen. Yes, at first we were just going to eat lunch! I came here to eat (←emphasis) When I arrived at the restaurant, I was told that nobuta and his friends were the only ones there for lunch that day. You have the chef all to yourself (lol) First, as a lunch drink, I ordered Miyazaki Hideji Beer Kurikuro 330mL 1,500 yen. The chef told me that there is a chestnut black that has been aging for almost 2 years and a recent chestnut black, so I would like you to drink both to experience the depth, so naturally I will drink both (lol) Made in Miyazaki. Stout made with chestnuts as a base is a super rich, heavy, and full-bodied beer. The beer can be aged in the bottle, so the chef intentionally lets it sit for nearly two years before serving it to customers. There aren't many beers that feel heavy on the tongue when you drink them. This is super delicious and a very valuable experience! Of course, you can clearly feel the difference between aging in the bottle for two years and modern wine. That's amazing! It's really delicious. So, I enjoyed French cuisine while enjoying this chestnut. I'm pretty sure it was about halfway through... I forget how the story unfolded, but first, my companion decided that he wanted to taste various types of awamori on the rocks, so we tasted four types of awamori recommended by the chef. So I decided to drink it in the wind. From there, Nobuta also started talking about the rare Western liquors lined up at the counter, and the brandy that he had disliked since he was a child, but now that he's an older man, he might be able to taste it. I ended up drinking brandy in a tasting style. Of course, while listening to the knowledgeable chef talk about alcohol, we taste each brandy while learning what kind of brandy it is. Regardless of whether or not I was able to overcome my dislike for it, I do know that it is delicious as an alcoholic drink. From there, we moved on to the lamb, which we also had in a tasting style. I don't have many opportunities to drink rum, so it's been a while since I tasted it, but the sensation of it hitting my throat was amazing. So, we decided to enjoy nobuta's favorite Western liquor, gin, and we had a tasting of another rare gin. During that time, I feel like I was talking about alcohol with the chef all the time... Anyway, I remember drinking, drinking, drinking, and having fun and having a fun conversation... It's almost completely unbelievable. (Laughs) If you look at the number of bottles of alcohol left in the photo, there are 21 bottles other than Kurikuro...21 different types of alcohol were drunk in a tasting style. According to the chef, he was able to do this because there were no customers for lunch... (lol) That's right, the lunch we had that day was: 6 types of salami salad - honey mustard dressing - basil and mugwort Genovese - duck Roasted breast meat - 2 types of carrots and black tea scented balsamic sauce - Smooth cheese pudding. The photo will be here. Naturally, it was a delicious lunch. However, the memory of the meal is now far away... Anyway, it was a lunch where I drank a lot of alcohol while listening to the accumulation of alcohol... It was a great lunch time, as you can tell from the price I paid. Tayo. Because it was a price that I would never be able to tell my wife (lol) I was grateful to the chef for allowing me to drink in an unusual way, and I decided that the next time I go, I'll have a more elegant meal. (lol)

令和２年の大晦日。コロナ渦のため、正月三が日は巣ごもりが決まっていたので、例年以上にしっかりと買い出しをやりました。特に例年と異なるのは、テイクアウトでオードブルを取ったのですが、それがフレンチだったという点です。
前回、沖縄に住んでいた最後の年もフレンチのオードブルを取ったと長女が話していましたが、それは子供たちに不向きなオードブルだったので、家族からけちょんけちょんに叱責されたんですよね（笑）
今回は、年末に初訪問して美味しいカジュアルフレンチのランチを堪能した久米のKYOKAWAさんで予約。予約する際に店主とじっくり子供たちの好みについて説明していたので、その要望に店主が応えてくれたほか、なんと、なんと！今年最後のお客さんだからということで、量がたっぷりでしたよ！さすが大晦日、太っ腹ですね（感謝）
で、自宅に持ち帰ってから家族に披露したのが、この写真のオードブルになります。
内容は、前菜系が
　県産とうもろこしのマヨカナッペ
　紫漬けのポテトサラダ
　自家製セミドライトマト＆オリーブ＆クリームチーズ
　原木切り落としスペイン産ハムハモンセラーノ
　ボローニャソーセージ
　イタリア産サラミ
　フランス産４種のサラミ
　スペイン産イベリコ豚サラミ
　バーニャカウダ
　ミートソースとキノコとほうれん草のオムレツ
　ブロッコリーのアンチョビマリネ

　ハンガリー産鴨胸肉のロースト
　種子島産クロガネポーク×奄美原産KAZUGOROの粗挽きサルシッチャ

　ラムラックのロースト
その他、ラタトゥイユ、キノコと栗のソテー、じゃがいものビュレ、美らキャロットのビュレ、インカの目覚めのロースト、ハッシュドポテトというラインナップでした。
書き綴っているだけで凄いんですが、まぁ写真のとおり素晴らしいんですよ。
実際に美味しいしね。
当然、正月を迎える前夜にはほぼほぼ食べきりました（苦笑）
スパークリングワインとビールのアテとして、nobutaと長女、妻の胃袋に消えていったんですよね～
ほんと、素晴らしいテイクアウトのオードブル。
値段もお手頃価格で満足しました。
御馳走さまでした!!!!　

国道58号線にある沖縄ナハナホテルの裏手の久米はお洒落な飲食店が立ち並びます。
今回訪問したお店は、ステーキO'sHOUSEの通り沿い、豚々ジャッキーの近く、島豚しゃぶしゃぶのみなみさんのある建物の隣にある「ＫＹＯＫＡＷＡ（きょうかわ）」さんになります。
こちらのお店はできて３年とのことで、その前も、その前も、その前もフレンチのお店があった場所だと思います。
気さくな店主と話したところ、このお店はフレンチというよりも洋食屋的な感覚で経営されているそうで、値段も概ね洋食屋的な価格帯になっています（料理からするとかなりリーズナブルです）。
ランチタイムは完全予約制となっており、夜は17時から23時まで（今はコロナなので22時）。お休みは日曜日と毎月第４月曜日だそうです。
この辺りは、ランチタイムに結構歩き回っているので、お店があるのは把握しており、ランチの2,200円（税込み）のコースを食べてみたいと思っていたのですが、コロナ渦ということもあってなかなか行かなかったんです。
でも、GOtoEATの「食べログ」や「ぐるなび」などが一斉に終わると通告された夜に、一気に予約した一つで、予約してから2か月くらいたった年末29日のランチで訪問することになりました。
一気に色々なお店を予約しまくったため、1週間に１回くらいのペースで当時予約したお店を食べ歩いていたって感じです。そして、こちらのお店が最後になるんです（笑）
今では、GOtoEAT沖縄版で電子クーポン（25パーセントオフ）が使えますので、今回はそれを併用するという2倍おいしいパターンでの利用となりました（笑）

さて、こちらのランチコースの内容は、
　前菜　原木切り落としスペイン産ハモンセラーノと柿のサラダ仕立て
　パスタ　バジルとヨモギのジェノベーゼ
肉料理　鴨胸肉のロースト　バルサミコソース　ラタトゥイユ添え
　デザート　KABARA―YAのチーズケーキ
　食後のお飲み物
となっています。普通にフレンチと言ってもよさそうですが、値段は2,200円ですし、あくまでも洋食屋なんだそうです（笑）
ちなみにデザートは、店主の父親が識名でやっていたケーキ屋さんの名前だそうです。

お店には駐車場がありませんが、道向かいに1時間200円、1時間以降は100円の駐車場がありますので、そこに車を停めてお店に向かいます。
ドアをあけると綺麗な待合ソファーがあり、そこから店内へ。
６人掛け、4人掛けなどのテーブルが並び、奥はカウンターですが、面白い種類のお酒がたくさん並んでました。店主の趣味らしく金額はバラバラって話です。

さすがに年末だし、コロナ蔓延中だし、お客さんはnobutaたち夫婦しかいません。
こんなおいしいお店なのに勿体ないと思いますけど、コロナ渦を考えると密感がなくてありがたいではあります。
先ほどのコースの説明を受け、おしぼりは冷たいのと温かいのがあるがどっちらが良いかと聞かれるという展開。
接客対応もとても気さくでカジュアルフレンチというのが正しいと思います。
食後のお飲み物については、コーヒー、紅茶以外にメニューになるソフトドリンクならどれでも良いということで、妻はブラッドオレンジジュース、nobutaはジンジャエールをお願いしました。
まず、前菜が登場します。
それがこちらの写真になります。

どうですか？とてもおいしそうだし、量があるでしょ。ハモンセラーノに柿が隠れているんですが、ハモンセラーノがたくさんなんです。これでもかってくらい（笑）
続いて、ジェノベーゼとバケットが出てきます。バケットは固めなのでnobutaの好きなタイプになります。
ジェノベーゼは、ヨモギの風味とナッツが美味くてね。とてもおいしいパスタですし、量も多くなく適量でメインに影響はありません。
そのメインの鴨胸肉が素晴らしいのですよ。
それが最初の写真になります。アップがこちら。
どうですか。美しいビジュアルでしょ（笑）
めちゃんこ美味しいですよ。このメイン。
で、最後におやじのレシピを受け継いだというチーズケーキが登場しました。
この1週間で3回目の食後のデザートがチーズケーキというパターン。でも、これが一番おいしいし、でっかいし・・・タルトみたいですね。
チーズケーキは全国発送もしているそうです。

夜の宴会プランを見ると4,000円から6,000円まであり、6,000円の飲み放題はスパークリングワインも飲み放題なんだそうです。これ素晴らしいはず！！
nobutaが行きたくなる匂いがしますね。絶対に美味しいし、お得に決まってますもん（笑）

で、いろいろと店主と話していると、オードブルの話になり、正月用に作ることもできるんですかと確認すると、31日13時の受け取りでよければ、4人前6,000円分が作れるとのこと。
それは、せっかくだから注文しましょうっていう展開になり、このネタをレビューした後、午後に受け取る予定です。
そのオードブルをアップするのか、それとも夜の宴会プランをアップするのかは近い将来のお楽しみということで（笑）

とにかく、こちらのランチはお薦めです。
値段2,200円はかなり安いと思います。
素晴らしいランチ御馳走さまでした!!!
nobutaと南の島生活ブログ17年目ですが、今年の締めになる洋食屋（カジュアルフレンチ）でした。
