ぎんざぐるめ
insta is updated daily https://www.instagram.com/ginzagourmet/6.8, I visited HIRAYAMA for lunch because La nature K was delicious. I will share my experience as I learned a lot from this visit. @la_nature_k Located diagonally across from Shimbashi Enbujo, next to Erika-san. They have a wonderful restaurant in an area that has a unique and inviting atmosphere. We entered at the scheduled time of 12:30. We took seats in the center of the curved counter, sandwiched between two groups. To the left, a group of four from Asia who immediately ordered wine upon arrival. To the right, what seemed to be regular customers, chatting amiably with the chef. My order was confirmed the day before. I had visited the day before to buy canelés as a gift, and during that time, I also discussed the details of the reservation for the next day. Although I was contemplating between steak and hamburger, they suggested, "We can serve you both steak and hamburger in small portions." I made a quick decision. The chef perfectly understood my preferences in that situation, so everything went smoothly. (Although the server brought the menu, they were asked to put it down by the chef's command) Then, I let myself go with the flow. Starting with the seasonal ayu fish, it was served as a fritter. The sharp bitterness was spot on. I wished for bubbles with the light fried dish, but opted for carbonated water since it was lunchtime. Next was the cold Gold Rush soup, a favorite of mine. You could fully taste the natural sweetness of the ingredients. Before the main course, a fresh colorful salad was served. As I glanced at the carefully grilled meats in the charcoal kiln in the back, I refreshed my palate with a refreshing dressing to elevate my mood. At this point, the person who had served me at La nature K came over to greet me. Being sandwiched between VIPs, they didn't make a big deal out of it. Finally, the most indulgent dish arrived - a little bit of hamburger and a little bit of steak. This proposal saved me from the common "Hamburger experience -> one year later, Steak experience" scenario often found in meat restaurants, and I was very pleased with it. The taste of Hida beef was outstanding. The steak was fillet, straightforward without salt and pepper. I enjoyed the three-dimensional taste of the meat with wasabi, rock salt, and garlic chips. The highlight of the day was the hamburger. It not only contained fillet but also sirloin. Although it looks independent in the photos, it was incredibly tender. The overflowing umami of the meat juice combined with butter soy sauce was superb. Delicious. The meal was accompanied by garlic rice, Kyoto pickles, and red miso soup for a satisfying finish. I chose the cheesecake from the dessert corner, which was subtly sweet with a light and fine texture (The regular on the right chose two types each. The cutlery was also changed to the "usual" one as it was difficult to eat. Their service was truly remarkable). Perhaps next time, I will try the pudding that can only be purchased at the store. On the way back, the staff from La nature K and even the chef went out of their way to see me off during their lunch break, which was very touching. I hurried home after everyone was out of sight... A lunch that lasted just under an hour and was absolutely fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful meal. As mentioned on the homepage, the exhibition venues for August and September have been decided. They will be held at Ginza Tappo and Bistro Vivienne. We are deeply grateful for their enthusiastic approval. Somehow, we are able to welcome autumn. Is this summer still hot? The story continues. Where should I go tomorrow? == Small solo exhibition "Points of Contact in Stories" at Ivoire == Period: 6.26-7.8 (Closed on Sundays) Background: I have highlighted it ===========
