It's been a while since I enjoyed a night in Fukuoka. After seeing the posts from MyRebi-san who lives in Fukuoka, the number of restaurants I want to visit has been increasing rapidly. I checked and found out that there are over 200 registered restaurants in Fukuoka city alone. Maybe I should just move here... (laughs) On this night, I was lucky enough to secure a reservation at this popular restaurant. The evening omakase course costs 16,500 yen (tax included). The restaurant opened promptly at 6:00 pm. The interior was small, with about 6 table seats. Currently, they are keeping the seating spaced apart, and on this day, there were only 4 groups of 8 people. I entrusted the selection of about 3 to 4 glasses of wine. We started with champagne and draft beer. Then we had white, rosé, and red wines. The meal started with a special double consommé. Luxurious ingredients such as Japanese beef, black pork, and local chicken. The aroma was rich, and the umami was delightful. The hot dishes were a joy. It seems they pay attention to the serving temperature of the dishes. Foie gras terrine. Enjoyed by hand. Foie gras, bread, onion paste, etc. The sweetness, aroma, and light texture were wonderful. This menu seems to be meticulously calculated down to the millimeter and second. Got ecstatic over the Sawara from Goto, tomato, and real wasabi. The salt and olive oil sauce was excellent. The combination of this savory and rare Sawara without any rawness was amazing. The Peony shrimp flan. Pickled Chinese cabbage, red onions, bisque. The depth of flavor and aroma were impressive. I was blown away by the deliciousness. The fried dish was Ainame. Nanohana, semolina. The light coating made with rice flour and carbonated water. The cumin, coriander, hazelnuts, sesame... the exquisite flavors. The nanohana was accompanied by the scent of kabosu. I also enjoyed the bitterness of spring. The staff at this high-end restaurant provided very pleasant service, allowing us to relax comfortably. The male staff member who served us mentioned that his wife is from Miyazaki. It creates a sense of closeness. Next up was the Tachiuo from Tokyo Bay. Yamaimo. Anchovy sauce, butter, and cream. The Tachiuo was firm when cut with a knife but melted in the mouth. The yamaimo was smooth and sweet. The control over the cooking, texture, and temperature was perfect. Miyazaki black beef fillet. (No photos allowed for the main dish) Served with Parmesan cheese risotto, black truffle, and ginger sauce. I have no words... it was amazingly delicious. The texture, juiciness, and flavor of the meat were fantastic. It's a shame there are no photos. Strawberry ice cream. Amaou strawberries. The fruitiness was incredible. Vanilla pudding. Coffee and pistachio oil. Bitterness, depth, roundness... this dessert also made me ecstatic. Cheesecake made with Anno sweet potatoes. Sweetness, a rare and elastic texture, aroma. Well, every dish was impressive, exciting, and surprising. I truly felt grateful for coming to this restaurant. The young staff members also provided attentive and courteous service. I am already looking forward to the day I can visit again. Thank you for the wonderful night. It was a feast! (^^)(^^)(^^)
