I passed by this restaurant when it first opened, and finally had the chance to visit about a year later. Honestly, everything exceeded my expectations. The building is filled with the owner-architect's attention to detail, creating a high-quality and cozy space. The sense of the plates, the delicate change in glass shape depending on the wine, the attentive and gentle service, the delicate dishes that bring out the flavor of the ingredients, and the wine recommendations that make the wonderful dishes even more delicious. In Tokyo, to be so impressed by a 15,000 yen course (I had the "Menu Setouchi" this time), was surprising. It was a time surrounded by happiness from start to finish. I opted for the full wine pairing, starting with a toast of Prosecco, and enjoyed 6 different wines in glasses. I also ordered a half portion of the Shodoshima-produced prosciutto (highly recommended!), in addition to the course, it came to a little over 30,000 yen per person. I don't particularly like using the term "cost performance" to describe a restaurant, but it still feels reasonable. The dishes tend to emphasize the flavor of the ingredients while also being simple and delicate. I especially liked the subtle flavors. The main dish of Olive Beef was seasoned only with salt and pepper, showcasing the meat's grilling technique, and I could see that they are trying to make the most of the ingredients by changing their approach for each dish. It was truly delicious. They are also very skilled at grilling the meat. The homemade bread and Shodoshima-produced olive oil were also very delicious. I was very impressed by how the bread was matched with the sauce of the dish, showing that even the bread was carefully considered for its compatibility with the dishes. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Overall, I think this restaurant could easily be awarded stars. I would love to have dinner there on the 25th of every month when concerts are held.

Since the COVID restrictions have been lifted, I decided to celebrate my birthday at this restaurant after making a reservation. The owner, originally from Shodoshima, runs various establishments, and this restaurant is one of them located near Hamamatsucho Station. The dining space is luxurious and spacious. We opted for the top course, which focuses on Setouchi ingredients. The meal started with a homemade ginger ale aperitif, followed by scallop and white asparagus mousse with homemade caviar, which was perfectly balanced and flavorful. The second dish was a mackerel salad that tasted almost like sashimi. The third dish was sautéed sea bream from Akashi, with crispy skin and delicious flavor. The pasta course featured Taliatelle made with Shikoku's Yumemidai pork, which was surprisingly light and tasty. The main course was sautéed Olive beef, which was tender and unique. The dessert was a refreshing strawberry granita and orange ice cream. The service was impeccable, with a touch of Shodoshima hospitality. Overall, it was a memorable and delicious dining experience. I will definitely visit again.

I had the best day with my friends! The atmosphere of the restaurant was already to my liking, and the food that came out one after another was definitely delicious! It was fun to have bread that matched the dishes. I spent the day thinking that the evening would offer a different atmosphere as well! Thank you for the wonderful time! It seems that a new Japanese restaurant has opened too! I'm curious about it~~~

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so wonderful that it makes you forget this is a business district. The pillars are made from the sacred tree of Nikko Toshogu Shrine. It's a great place not only for a date but also for a special meal with family. The interior reflects the owner's commitment, with lighting, flooring, and tableware inspired by Shodoshima olives. The food is delicious, but given the high expectations set by the atmosphere, there are a few points that I personally found lacking. - I was surprised to see three pasta dishes, but they all seemed a bit dry. It felt like they were disrupting the flow of the course. It would be nice to have a more substantial or soupy, juicy pasta. - The spicy pasta at the end was too overpowering, canceling out the lingering flavors of the fish and meat. - The sauce on the fish was too salty. Overall, it's a place I'd like to try again. It makes me want to visit Shodoshima.

I visited for a celebration on a special day. The dishes and drinks were filled with attention to detail, and the building was enchanting. The staff explained the food and drinks in detail, allowing us to have a wonderful time. I would love to visit again!

It was a wonderful restaurant with a focus on architecture, tableware, cuisine, and wine. I haven't had such a blissful time during a meal in a long time. The Olive Beef melted in my mouth and was incredibly delicious. I tried wine pairing for the first time and it was truly a perfect match with the dishes, I was impressed. I definitely want to go back again.

The shop used as a location is wonderful and I really wanted to visit it. It was probably used in a certain movie for a date scene, and even just seeing it on TV made me think, "Wow, I really want to go there!" After searching, I found it and decided to visit with a business associate. It was raining on the day we went, but the exterior and interior were perfect! The staff inside used to work as a hotelier, and they provided impeccable hospitality. I wish I had known about this place sooner! If I lived in Tokyo, I would definitely visit it often. The first course used caviar from Kagawa, showing their dedication to quality ingredients. I apologize for the lack of details on the other dishes, but you can see them in the photos. Everything is perfect for entertaining or a date. On this day, we had a course with Olive beef as the main dish, costing around 7000 yen. The appetizer, pasta, fish, meat, and dessert were all delicious. The amount of wine was just right for enjoying, and the hot marble plate served with bread was rich in flavor and had a variety of options. I asked about the granita, and they said it was made with bitter oranges, giving it a refreshing acidity. The dish was like sea foam, and the handmade glass from Sanuki was beautiful. The restaurant building itself and each piece of tableware were carefully selected, filling my heart. Even if you don't have many chances to go to Hamamatsucho, it's worth a visit. It's probably very popular, but I don't want it to become too popular, as I came for work but didn't feel like working. Among all the places I've been to, this one is a favorite. It was such an amazing restaurant that I want to keep it a secret.

In Hamamatsucho, there are other hotels and restaurants owned by the same group, where you can enjoy delicious dishes made with Setouchi ingredients. They use high-end tableware such as Limoges' Bernardaud and Hungary's Herend. The prices may be a bit high for Hamamatsucho.

Listrante Casa Setouchi in Hamamatsucho. A standalone restaurant located in a corner of Hamamatsucho where skyscrapers line the streets. This eye-catching building is operated by the Listrante group, known for their restaurants and hotels in Hamamatsucho. The concept here is to express the seasonal scenery of Setouchi and incorporate it into their dishes. The hotel in Shodoshima is also part of their related business, and it seems that they mainly use ingredients from Kagawa Prefecture sent from there. In addition to this restaurant, there are also a steakhouse, cafeteria, and hotel in Hamamatsucho, all of which similarly emphasize Setouchi. Since I used to visit Shikoku and the Chugoku region frequently, I felt nostalgic and decided to visit during lunchtime. I had the Stagione course for 4,000 yen (+800 yen for dessert). ~ Menu Stagione ~ Appetizer: Turnip soup Pasta with scallops and olives Taliatelle with olive beef bolognese and black cabbage Main dish: Pan-fried sea bream with beurre blanc sauce Dessert: Strawberry tart (+800 yen) Tea, coffee, or herbal tea with sweets The course featured plenty of ingredients from Kagawa Prefecture. The relaxed atmosphere inside the restaurant made me feel like I was dining in Kagawa. As I enjoyed my meal, I couldn't help but wonder if the staff were also from Kagawa. I really like the laid-back atmosphere that reminds me of Shikoku. Thank you for the delicious meal.

A new Italian restaurant that utilizes Setouchi ingredients as a concept, Casa Setouchi in Hamamatsucho, is a cute standalone building with an opera house design inside. They also hold regular dinner concerts. The food and service were both excellent during this dinner. The scallop potage, oysters, and olive beef were particularly impressive. I would definitely like to visit again if given the chance. Thank you for the delicious food and kind service for my friend's birthday dinner!

A hotel in Shodoshima that focuses on using Setouchi ingredients, with their own olive and grape fields, and interior design done by their own design firm. The place is filled with attention to detail, from the moment you step in and smell the wood, to the warmth of the wood itself. They have a sacred tree in the center of the floor. The staff's hospitality is top-notch, and the food is incredibly delicious. They pair bread with their dishes like wine with food. On this day, they served seaweed and ginger bread with the fish dish, and sesame and sansho pepper bread with another fish dish. Each dish is served in lovely dishes, with sauces that enhance the ingredients. The dessert prepared in front of you, and the post-meal herbal tea, are fresh and satisfying. They even served matcha tea, filling not just the stomach but the heart as well. This place deserves more recognition, but at the same time, I want to keep it as my own hidden gem. You'll understand once you go.

I made a reservation to visit the restaurant on Sunday at 1:00 PM, after traveling in the Seto Inland Sea. I was curious about the restaurant featuring Seto Inland Sea ingredients. The room I was seated in turned out to be a second-floor opera box. This restaurant also serves as a mini concert hall, with opera boxes on the second and third floors. The course was top-notch and got me really excited. You could also get unlimited refills of bread, and the reservation through Ikkyu included soft drinks. The main dishes of fish and meat were bite-sized. The meat was pork with a lot of fat, which was a bit disappointing. I felt full, thanks to the leisurely pace of the meal, maybe because of the bread? Dessert and coffee after the meal were also included in this seating, making it a good value for money.

Having a standalone house restaurant in Hamamatsucho is such a luxury. The first floor has a grand piano in a high-ceilinged space, with stylish table settings that elevate the mood. Oh my, there's even a fireplace! As the staff explained everything, we started our meal. We enjoyed the appetizers with flavorful olive oil served with fragrant bread. It was so delicious that I felt happy, but before I knew it, the oil bottle was cleared away! Someone must have enjoyed it a lot too. The dishes and desserts were elegantly small yet indulgent. After satisfying our taste buds, we received a warm send-off and returned home feeling content. Sometimes, I want to feel this happy in such a fancy restaurant.

This restaurant stands out among the many izakayas along the street, with its unique and charming building that creates a different atmosphere. Their lunch course is priced at 4,000 yen, making it a perfect choice for treating yourself to a luxurious meal in a quiet setting. You can enjoy dishes made with delicious ingredients from the Seto Inland Sea. The restaurant is affiliated with a hotel next door and a cafe called Yuhigaoka Shokudo. The bread served during lunch can also be purchased at the cafe.

Tokyo Dinner is a wonderful restaurant that serves Italian cuisine using ingredients from the Seto Inland Sea. They use fruits and vegetables from their own farm on Shodoshima Island. Located just a 4-minute walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station, it offers a luxurious setting in the heart of the city. The interior is lovely, with the option of semi-private rooms for a luxurious and relaxing dining experience. Dinner Menu: - Appetizers: - Yellowtail Carpaccio with Olives - Fried Conger Eel with Figs - Pasta: - Spaghettini with Sweetfish and Chinese Watercress - Tagliatelle with Olive Pork Ragu and Autumn Truffles - Fish Dish: - Grilled Sea Bream with Shimeji Mushroom Sauce - Meat Dish: - Charcoal-Grilled Olive Beef with Seasonal Vegetables - Simple Pasta - Dessert: - Tiramisu with Persimmons - Petit Fours and Tea The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also delicious. The combination of sweetfish and pasta was unique and had a sophisticated flavor. The crispy texture of the grilled sea bream was delightful. The olive beef was tender and juicy, showcasing the delicious ingredients. Enjoying a delicious meal in such a lovely setting was truly a blissful experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I caught wind of a rumor that various delicious dishes from the Seto Inland Sea have gathered in Hamamatsucho, so I headed there. I visited a very lovely Italian restaurant called "Ristorante Casa Setouchi." It was about a 4-minute walk from Hamamatsucho. I was surprised to see such a charming house suddenly appear. It was so cute that it wouldn't be strange to see it in a picture book. When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a refreshing scent of wood. The arch-shaped windows and grand piano made me feel like I had stepped into a luxurious villa. Inside the restaurant, there are private rooms that protrude like VIP viewing seats in overseas theaters. The curved lines instantly create an elegant atmosphere. I heard that they hold a dinner concert with live piano music once a month, and I can imagine how wonderful it would be to listen to the piano from such a elegant seat. And, there is something amazing here. The impressive large wooden pillar in the center is called the "pillar of matchmaking." It is a rare type of wood with knots in all four directions, like a Japanese cedar, and has been revered as the "pillar of matchmaking" that connects people since ancient times. The cocoon-like lights also create a warm ambiance and are lovely. In winter, the fireplace is lit, adding a cozy atmosphere. I would love to visit during the winter as well. The napkins are embroidered with the exterior of the restaurant, which is a nice touch. Here, the owner, who is full of love for Shodoshima, uses ingredients from the Seto Inland Sea and local seafood to create dishes. The chef is from Aqua Pazza, and the sommelier is from Ritz Carlton Kyoto. The show plate is from Bernard. The owner's wonderful attention to detail extends to the quality of the tableware. This time, I had the 4000 yen lunch. The dessert was 800 yen, so I added that as well. It became a 4800 yen lunch. There are also lunch courses priced at 6000 yen and 7500 yen, but the ambiance and price of this lunch were delightful. Seared Striped Jack Carpaccio with Shodoshima Plum Sauce and Caponata First, I started with the cold carpaccio. The fatty Striped Jack melted in a delicate texture. The plum sauce's acidity was perfect for this season. I added some acidity with a splash of vinegar, which also added a bit of spiciness, making the carpaccio even more enjoyable. They warmed the homemade walnut bread and focaccia on a marble slab. It was a thoughtful gesture. The bread was served with Aonodaiya bread, which is produced in Tadotsu, Kagawa, along with Aonodaiya olive oil. The oil, which won two gold awards at the OLIVE JAPAN 2022 International Olive Contest, had a fresh aroma. It had a slight bitterness and spiciness, and it was very delicious. Hira Spaghettini with Shallots I enjoyed the Hira fish from Okayama in this dish. The fish was carefully deboned and had a rich flavor. It was made in an oil-based sauce with the fragrance of shallots, the acidity of Italian parsley, and the crunchy texture of breadcrumbs as accents. Roasted Duroc Pork The main dish was a roasted Duroc pork from Hokkaido. It was served with a juicy sauce and whole grain mustard. Peach Granita For dessert, I had a peach granita made with seasonal peaches. It was lightly sweet and refreshing. House Orange Parfait The orange ice cream with orange and orange sauce was a citrusy and delightful dessert. This was an additional item for 800 yen. The tea set was Herend's Apponyi Green. It seemed to be matched with Shodoshima olives. Just looking at it made it feel luxurious. I had Earl Grey tea, and the small sweets included financiers, cookies, and chocolate cake. These are included in the course menu. It's nice to be able to enjoy a solid Italian meal in such a wonderful atmosphere. I recommend it for when you want to have a leisurely meal in a lovely space.

Casa Setouchi has been rebuilt, and I made a reservation for my first visit. The interior space is amazing with high ceilings. The second floor has a loft space reminiscent of the opera house with two private rooms. Both spaces are luxurious and wonderful, and the Italian food served there is simply exceptional. I ordered the weekday ladies' casual lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfied I was! You can choose from 3 pasta options, and the large portion is available for an additional +800 yen. It may seem a bit pricey, but it's truly delicious and special, so it's worth it. They have a terrace, and I decided to have dessert there, but it was a bit lacking... It's completely visible from the outside and feels makeshift. So, I recommend having dessert inside the restaurant. If you go for the weekday ladies' set, you should be fine in about an hour, but for other courses, take your time. Since the seating is limited, I recommend making a reservation before visiting! I post a lot of lunch information in Hamamatsucho, Ginza, and Shinbashi on Instagram, so please check it out if you're interested.

Taniko-chan found an afternoon tea in Tokyo for 2,800 yen on Facebook and decided to go right away with her friends Ayaka. They called and were told they might be able to get a table once the lunch customers left. They arrived at a restaurant called Casa Setouchi, a bit of a walk from Hamamatsucho. They were offered a table on the rooftop terrace to wait, where they were served non-alcoholic sparkling wine as a treat. The view was lovely with a glimpse of the monorail. The afternoon tea savory items were prepared on the spot, and the scones were freshly baked and delicious. The ambiance, food, and service were all top-notch, with the chef having worked at a prestigious hotel in the past. Overall, it was a delightful experience, but reservations might be difficult due to limited seating.

Visited the restaurant on Friday at 12:30 with a reservation for two. We were seated on the second floor, which had a lovely open design with a high ceiling and even a piano on the first floor. We were first served a complimentary soft drink as part of a special offer. I had the Wenzhou mandarin juice, while my companion had... (forgot). We chose the Menu Select for ¥3,990, which included the following: - For appetizers, we could choose between a creamy soup with spring onions and clams, topped with charcoal powder, or smoked bonito carpaccio with marinated garlic and olive oil powder. - We enjoyed walnut focaccia with olive oil from Takamatsu. - We ordered a glass of red wine from Sicily, which was light and refreshing. - For pasta, we could choose between lamb ragout tagliatelle with Pecorino cheese, or salmon spaghetti with celery and karasumi powder. - I opted for the pork sauté with Sichuan pepper sauce for the main course, while my companion chose the olive beef for an additional ¥1,500. - We ended the meal with strawberry granita, financiers, chocolate, and strawberry fruit tart. - We finished with coffee or tea, and the total bill came to ¥11,081 for the two of us. Overall, it was a delicious and enjoyable dining experience.

We enjoyed a spring evening with 20 friends at Casa Setouchi in Hamamatsucho. It is a Western-style building located just a 4-minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station. The roof is thatched, and the main pillars inside the restaurant are made from the sacred tree of Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The ceiling boards are all made from cedar from Nikko, making it a power spot. We were introduced to the owner, Mr. Kasai, on this occasion. A sommelier from The Ritz-Carlton and a pastry chef from Hotel Chinzanso, who introduced delicious Setouchi specialties. The appetizer started with bonito on top of garlic, with olive oil sprinkled with white powder, a great attention to detail. Next, we had firefly squid pasta, followed by fava bean and pancetta risotto. The main course, Kagawa beef, was grilled over charcoal, making it juicy and flavorful. For dessert, we had pistachio ice cream with Amazon cacao sprinkled on top. Even the petit fours were amazing. Although I can't drink wine, the non-alcoholic drinks like apple soda and freshly squeezed orange juice were excellent and complemented the dishes well. I would like to come back next time with friends for afternoon tea. The private restaurant plan was enjoyable as we were all acquaintances. Many thanks to George and Kikko for always organizing such diverse events. #Hamamatsucho #CasaSetouchi #PrivateRestaurant #PrivateRestaurantPlan ✨

I found out that I could have an affordable afternoon tea, so I made a reservation and visited for the first time. I had the Strawberry Afternoon Tea (2,800 yen). The contents were as follows: Today's sandwiches x 2, scones x 2 (plain/chocolate chip) with cream and strawberry jam, 5 types of petit fours including strawberry panna cotta, a non-alcoholic strawberry cocktail, unlimited tea or coffee (hot or iced). The afternoon tea was full of strawberries, the portion was just right, and I was very satisfied with the tableware, spacious atmosphere, and attentive service. I am curious about their lunch and dinner menus too.
