The restaurant is located in the Kagurazaka, but a little bit far from the main street. The Itamae is 30s, he come in to the Japanese food maister on his middle teenage. His dishes make us feeling the Kyoto taste on the basis and totally real traditional Japanese courses. His dishes are made from foods coming from Japan-wide and seasonal. This restaurant has three essence of the important point inrestaurant; course, porcelain and beverage.
The soup stock at this restaurant is very nice balance of Katsuo and Kombu.
The signature dish for me is Otsukuri mixed Sashimi decoration. All fishes are very various, fresh but suitably aged. The fish has the timing for eating on the each one, depends on the spices, seasons and cooking methods. The ageing, like the aged beef but not so long, is important on the cooking. The ageing term will be an half day to two days, shorter than meats. The tuna, one of the famous foods in Japanese dishes, must be aged for Sashimi. If you are served very fresh tuna as Sashimi, you feel it very raw and not tasty. The Kobujime(昆布締め), one kind of Sashimi that pickled with Kombu, is very lovely I can feel the flavour of Kombu.
The Utsuwa(器 うつわ)is very important part of Japanese food. All kind of catrary has the meaning and rule. Utsuwa make us feeling the season, comfortable and smell. There are four seasons in Japan, but Japanese have twenty four period(節 setu) in one year. The plum blossoms springs in the early spring middle of February. The Itame use the Utsuwas painted plum blossom.
When you go to Japan on summer, Japanese restaurant serve Sashimi on the glass dish, with beautiful cutting. The weather of Japan in summer is wet and hot, but you will feel cool by your sight.
Itame usually uses Wan(Japan lackered wood bowl and lid, see Sakuragawa) for soup. The Wanmono is usually served in bowl and lid. When you open the lid, the steam with nice smell will come to you, the smell will be the soupstock, citrons(like Yuzu) and other fabric.
The dishes are very nice marriage with the alcohol beverage. The alcohol beverage they serve has very various from Japanese rice Sakes to French wines. Sakes are collected from the Japan wide, selected from the famous to local. I usually order the Itame's recommendation, he choose for my courses. The wine selections are coordinated by the wine experts.
The interior of this restaurant is traditional Japanese style, white wood counter and white based interior. There is counter for 7 persons and you will look at how your courses are cooked and decorated. The Itamae will talk with you about your courses.
The restaurant is very popular for the gourmet in Kagurazaka. I recommend you to make the reservation for your dinner.
