I visited "Ouchi Gohan TARO" that opened before the Bon Festival in August 2020. I found this place on my way back from a ramen shop the other day and was curious about it. It is located on the 1st floor of Hanazono Spar Building, across from the French restaurant "La Schmine". The name TARO is the name of the owner's beloved dog that she had for many years. The owner, a woman in her 40s, loves cooking and finally opened her own restaurant after quitting her job at a bakery where she had worked for a long time. The menu is quite extensive, with daily specials handwritten in addition to the regular items. I tried a variety of dishes, all of which were perfect for solo dining with just the right amount to nibble on. The dishes have a homely and comforting taste, but the standout was the liver paste. It was so delicious that I couldn't help but have seconds of the baguette. The paste is made with vegetables, liver, and other meats, creating a perfect balance of richness and umami. I also enjoyed a glass of Maou (sweet potato shochu) at a special price for the opening, and ended the meal with a good selection of beer, wine, shochu, and sake to match the dishes. Oh, and the cucumber with breadcrumbs was slightly sweet, but the sweetness was just right and left a good impression. The owner, with her natural charm, will make your dining experience enjoyable whether you are dining alone or with others. Just be prepared for it to be busy at times!
