Blog “[a:https://asante.blog/, Eating around Tokyu Line]” [a:https://asante.blog/] Instagram “[a:https://www.instagram.com/asante. jp/,asante.jp]" [a:https://www.instagram.com/asante.jp/] ---- On this day, I came here to eat delicious Chinese food. The store relocated to Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho in March 2020, but was previously located in Mita, and has been well-received since that time. I had never visited there before, including when I was in Mita, so I was looking forward to visiting. Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho is directly connected to Nagatacho Station and has excellent access. This restaurant is located on the 3rd floor, and there are many attractive Restaurants lined up on the same floor. We made a reservation for an early weekend dinner, and when we arrived at the scheduled time, we were shown to a spacious table. Beyond the large windows, you can see the trees that hide the highway, and the space has the atmosphere of a hotel Restaurants, where the city center and greenery coexist. Well, on this day we will have the `` selection Course''. I thought I would enjoy the restaurant's recommendations rather than choosing them myself. As I ate the food, I felt that they were not trying to be strange, but rather were serious about the taste. I guess it's like using good ingredients and carefully cooking them based on experience, and pursuing deliciousness rather than flashiness. I think it's so delicious that you'll want to eat it not only on special days, but also on a regular basis. ■Dinner selection course 16,500 yen (tax included and service charge not included) - Assortment of 4 appetizers - Fried eggplant with chili pepper flavor - Stewed shark fin in hot water soup - Shrimp with mango sauce - Seasonal hot dishes - Black vinegar that loosens with chopsticks Sweet and sour pork ・Cantonese Chargrilled Charm and Lotus Leaf Chimaki ・Choice of Dessert Almond Tofu / Mango Pudding ---- Anyway, ・Cheers with Premium Draft Beer Jukusen 1,320 yen. Beautiful bubbles on top of the large glass will get you in the mood from the start. After that, we ask for the following: ・Shaoxing wine No. 2 3,960 yen. The meal started with a ``assortment of 4 appetizers,'' with ``jellyfish,'' ``mackerel in jade sauce,'' ``bobo chicken,'' and ``turnip'' served in beautiful bowls. The ``Jade sauce'' had flavors such as green onion, green perilla, and ginger, and it went well with the thickly sliced mackerel and had a beautiful color. ``Bobo chicken'' had an excellent sesame sauce and was a dish with a strong presence. Japanese people also like this dish, which seems to incorporate the best aspects of both Chinese and Japanese cuisine. ``Fried eggplant with chili pepper aroma'' is a dish that can be called a specialty here. It contains a lot of bright red chili peppers, and the thin skin of the eggplant coated with chili peppers expands the flavor and makes it irresistibly delicious. It was a luxurious dish that used a large amount of chili peppers to add flavor. ``Braised shark fin in hot water soup'' is a soup with shark fin and Cantonese cabbage, and the beautiful amber-like color of the soup is also impressive. The star of this dish was definitely the soup, not the shark fin meat. Because of its clean and simple appearance, it's a soup that you can't fool around with, and I was drawn in by the flavor and ended up drinking it all the way to the end, tilting the plate to the side. ``Shrimp with mango sauce'' was a sauce full of rich mango flavor, and the surrounding flowers were also a food that could be enjoyed properly. Although the shrimp and mango are luxurious ingredients, the taste is very delicate. At this point, I changed my drink to Shaoxing wine. It had a good balance of brown sugar flavor, sourness, and mellowness, and it was a cup that made me think of Shaoxing wine for Chinese cuisine. ``Seasonal hot dishes'' are stir-fried vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, yellow chives, and water spinach. Each vegetable was perfectly cooked to make it crunchy, and the stir-fried vegetables were delicious with a base sauce that included dried shrimp. Stir-fried vegetables can be so delicious... ``Black vinegar sweet and sour pork that can be loosened with chopsticks'' was served with watercress, tree kale, and shrunken cabbage, and appeared with a gorgeous French cuisine-like appearance, and the sauce was a black vinegar sauce that looked like a demi-glace sauce. When you go to a high-end Chinese restaurant, you often notice the quality of the seasonings, but the black vinegar here is also of very high quality. It had a strong sourness and richness, and the sauce alone had a luxurious taste, and I was able to enjoy the black vinegar sauce until the end with the Hanamaki that came with it. As a meal menu, ``Cantonese Charmaki and Lotus Leaf Chimaki'' is now available, accompanied by piping hot tea. I'm also happy that this ``chimaki'' is served open, which makes it easy to eat. It was a ``chimaki'' that had a chewy texture and a fresh taste, and was soaked in flavor. The accompanying Cantonese chimaki was enough to be the star of the dish on its own, but it also supported the "chimaki" well. For the final dessert, choose ``almond tofu'' and ``mango pudding.'' The mango and apricot kernels were both rich and tender in texture. No corners are cut until the end. The dishes here were made with a lot of sincerity, and the sauces were of a high quality, and combined with the good ingredients, it was a meal that the body was happy with. I think it's a comfortable Restaurants with high quality and friendly service, befitting the Kioicho area. It was a fun night. Thank you for the meal.
