I had the opportunity to choose a restaurant for a lunch gathering with my old classmates after a long time, and we ended up at the Italian restaurant JUTURNA, located on the 2nd floor of the Dojima River Forum, with a view of the Dojima River. The restaurant is named after the Roman mythological "goddess of water" Juturna. We requested a semi-private window seat where we could chat loudly without disturbing others, and they kindly provided us with one. We had the Jupiter lunch course which included Sparkling Lars Spumante Brut (Glass ¥1,200), Red Wine Chianti DOCG 2017 (Glass ¥1,200), and various dishes: Salad: - Juturna's famous 15 herb salad with organic herbs from contracted farms. It comes with a mustard-based dressing and Parmesan cheese toppings like 24-month aged Parma ham (+¥400) or fruit tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella (+¥400). Primo (Pasta): - Fresh basil and summer vegetable tomato sauce "Orecchiette" with a refreshing sauce and chewy orecchiette pasta. - Kishu Sei Ishidaka Yumetama Egg Carbonara Spaghettini made with eggs from Kishu Sei Ishidaka Yumetama, which are raised in a high-quality environment and have a rich flavor. Pesce (Fish): - Charcoal-grilled fresh fish of the day, Nagasaki black sea bream, with moroheiya sauce and lemon. Manzo (Beef): - Select Wagyu beef steak from Iwate Prefecture, with tender lamp meat grilled over charcoal and served with a paste of burdock and olives. Dolce (Dessert): - Strawberry ice cream cake, a sweet and cute dessert with the fragrance of strawberries. Overall, we were all very satisfied with the delicious food, the stunning view, and the excellent service. It was a delightful time spent with friends.

I visited for my daughter's birthday. The view was absolutely stunning. The location was perfect. The food was delicious. The white wine we ordered by the bottle was disappointing. I didn't choose it, but even though it was cheap, I thought there might be a tastier white wine available. The red wine we ordered by the glass was very delicious. I would like to visit again.

I finally got to visit the restaurant I've been wanting to go to for a while. Due to the COVID-19 situation, I had to cancel my lunch reservation a couple of times due to timing issues. The staff were very accommodating and considerate, adjusting the indoor temperature for us and offering a blanket in case we felt cold by the window. The atmosphere was excellent and perfect for a date. The dishes were meticulously prepared and served in just the right portions, with each one being delicious. The focaccia was soft and tasty, and both the pasta and meat dishes were flavorful and visually appealing. The 15-herb salad, a specialty of the restaurant, was particularly delicious. The warm seasonal vegetable soup served as an appetizer was perfect for the weather and warmed us up nicely. I would love to go back again.

My wife wanted to have Italian food on our day off, so I searched online and found this restaurant. It is located on the 2nd floor of a building called River Forum, next to Asahi Broadcasting, within walking distance from Fukushima Station. As you take the elevator up, you enter the restaurant directly. Passing by the bar counter, you will see tables set facing the sunny glass windows along the river. It's a stylish space with mostly young customers. We ordered the Jupiter course that we had reserved. We were asked to choose the dishes and additional toppings at the beginning. We started with a Yuturna specialty, a salad with 15 types of herbs. You could add toppings for an extra 300 yen, and although the selection process felt a bit pretentious, the salad was delicious with various ingredients like strawberries, olives, and pomegranate mixed in. The pasta dishes were also excellent - one was Tagliatelle with cabbage and sausage, and the other was Spaghetti Carbonara with eggs from Kishu. Both were rich and flavorful. For the main course, we had grilled fish, which unfortunately turned out to be a bit disappointing as it lacked flavor. The second main course, Wagyu steak, was delicious and cooked perfectly. We ended the meal with a strawberry ice cake dessert. Overall, it was a memorable lunch experience.

The most cost-effective Italian restaurant, ordered the most affordable lunch course, but still very satisfied with the portion and quality. I ordered iced tea as a drink, and it was a great deal at 750 yen for all-you-can-drink. The staff were attentive and lovely, always refilling my glass before it was empty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was luxurious, with a few groups celebrating birthdays with special plates. It's the perfect place for a special occasion. The first dish, the Burrata Salad, is recommended to add toppings. Honestly, it's a bit bland without toppings (grated cheese and dressing are provided). I added prosciutto, and it made a huge difference! The other dishes were all delicious, and even though I usually don't like pasta, I finished two plates! I will definitely come back again!

It was a lunch overlooking the Dojimagawa River. My friend made a reservation for my birthday. However, the sun was too hot, so we had to close the blinds. The food was satisfying with a good variety. The restaurant had a stylish atmosphere, making it a great place for a girls' night out.

We enjoyed a leisurely lunch on our wedding anniversary. The location was great, with a relaxed table layout that made us feel like we had our own space. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. While the portions were generous, the dishes were simple, and we felt slightly underwhelmed by the overall content.

- This shop is so stylish! Everyone there looked super fashionable and sparkly! We got a window seat where we could enjoy our meal while overlooking Nakanoshima. It was spacious and we had a lovely and relaxing time ❤️❤️ - The 15-herb salad was absolutely delicious. It was a unique experience as I don't eat herb salads often! And the first photo is of today's "charcoal-grilled fresh fish" which was seabass and incredibly tasty! The pasta, Tagliatelle and Carbonara, was also amazing and different! It was rich and delightful! Enjoyed it twice ❤️❤️ - It might have been because it was Sunday afternoon, but it seemed like everyone there had made reservations! Reserving seems to be the best way to go ===========

There is a restaurant by the Tosabori River. Dining while looking at the river is very soothing. I had the Chef's recommended Yuturunako course. It included: - 2 types of appetizers - 2 types of pasta - Fish dish - Meat dish - Scampi shrimp dish - Dessert, coffee Every dish was delicious and satisfying. The cost performance was good, around 8000 yen per person. The best part is definitely being able to eat while looking at the river. It's very calming. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

A relaxing lunch date❤️ This restaurant is sure to make you feel happy when your date chooses it! - Black Currant Iced Tea: The scent of cassis is really nice. It's sweet-smelling even without sugar, and the tea is refreshing and easy to drink. It doesn't overpower the food. Plus, it's great that you can have refills. - 15 Herb Salad (all toppings included): The salad is packed with herbs, but there are quite a few spicy leaves that can make it a bit hot. Having all the toppings balanced out the flavors. The dressing and powdered cheese helped mellow out the spiciness. - Focaccia: A fluffy and delicious bread that's not too strong in taste. - Today's Pasta Specials: Orecchiette with Salsiccia and Corn, and Kitara with Summer Vegetables and Basil. Both pastas were chewy and filled with veggies, making it a healthy choice. - Today's Grilled Fresh Fish: Shaved Red Snapper? The fish was fatty and delicious, and squeezing lemon over it kept it refreshing and not too heavy until the end. - Recommended Dish: Selected Beef Steak with Olive Paste. The lean meat was tender, and when paired with the burdock and olive paste, it was light and enjoyable. - Today's Dessert: Cassata. The creamy cheese was cool and not too rich, with nuts, pineapple, and Shine Muscat adding extra flavor. - After-meal Treats: Biscotti and another pastry. The spiced biscotti was tasty, and the buttery pastry was fluffy and delicious. - The seats along the river offer a great view, and it's fun to watch the kitchen. If you're bothered by the kitchen staff not wearing non-woven masks or not being organized, this may not be the best choice. Acrylic boards are placed on opposite seats for safety.

The location was great, the food was delicious, and the prices were just right. It's perfect for a small anniversary or date. The tables near the entrance have a view of the kitchen through glass, which can be enjoyable for food enthusiasts. The restroom was a calming space, showing attention to detail. Thank you for the meal. *I recommend the "Jupiter" course. *Stayed for about 2 hours. *The salad with buffalo mozzarella and fruit tomatoes on top is recommended.

Next to Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, on the 2nd floor of a splendid building, is a truly impressive restaurant. The interior is amazing and unlike anything you've seen before. From the entrance to the private rooms at the back, it feels like you're walking 30 meters? 40 meters? 50 meters? The entire glass wall overlooks the sparkling river in Nakanoshima. Perfect for a date, as many celebrities visit here in disguise. The menu features high-quality Italian cuisine at surprisingly reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

When I visited this restaurant for dinner right after it opened, I was impressed by the exquisite night view, delicious food, wine, and top-notch service, making it a truly elegant experience. However, I felt that it was not a place where you could casually drop by. This time, a friend made a lunch reservation for me, so I visited the restaurant again after a long time. The staff kindly asked for our preferred time and explained the menu in detail. The Grace course (3,300 yen) started with a herb salad resembling a Christmas tree, filled with plenty of vegetables. Three of us girls happily commented, "This is ideal," as we started with the vegetables. For the pasta and main dishes, we were allowed to choose two out of three options each. I selected a basil oil-based pasta salad and carbonara for pasta, and a flounder fish dish and a simmered meat dish with four types of meat for the main course. Instead of sharing, each dish was beautifully plated and served individually. Every dish was like a unique piece of art. I was delighted when a gourmet at the table whispered, "This restaurant is delicious," even though I didn't choose the dishes myself. The coffee after dessert was accompanied by petit fours, and I felt deeply moved by the authentic Italian course meal experience. Since the lunch prices start from around 3,300 yen, there was only one other group of customers besides us. As we left, I saw numerous staff members working hard in the kitchen, and I realized how challenging the situation must be. Despite that, I am grateful to all the staff for serving us with their full dedication.

It's a stylish and wonderful restaurant. The service is good and it's also cost-effective. It's Italian cuisine. The salads are plentiful. The night view is beautiful in the evening. Sharing allows you to taste various pasta dishes. It's a recommended restaurant, although it's a short walk from the station.

This place has a great location with a view of the Dojima River. The night view is beautiful, especially from the private rooms where you can enjoy the scenery by the river. It feels like having the whole world to yourselves. The restaurant is named after the Roman goddess of water, adding a romantic touch. The atmosphere is luxurious and they offer Tuscan cuisine with the essence of Santa Maria Novella, in collaboration with Jajjoiro Ginza. They use high-quality ingredients with a focus on safety and simple cooking methods to bring out the flavors. The menu also includes dishes incorporating the natural aroma and benefits of herbs. The staircase leading from the entrance to the second floor is designed like a "waterfall," adding to the charm. The course menu includes various dishes like appetizers, pasta, fish, meat, dessert, and a selection of drinks. Overall, the food was good, but the lack of hospitality and service left something to be desired.

Visited with a friend for a holiday lunch (^o^)/ Upon entering, take the elevator right by the entrance to the 2nd floor where the restaurant is located. The interior is stylish and chic with high ceilings. The windows by the river are glass, creating an open and airy space where you can enjoy the outside view. There are 3 lunch course options, and I chose the most affordable one at 3000 yen. The course included the following: Yuturuna's specialty 15 herb salad, which was visually appealing and perfect for Instagram. You can choose your dressing and cheese ❤️ For pasta (choose 2 to share), we had spinach fagiolini short pasta in winter vegetable sauce, and Talia Telle with Ise ham and root vegetables. For the main course (choose 2 to share), we had charcoal-grilled fresh fish of the day (which was grouper) and Scottiria, a Tuscan-style stew with beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. For dessert, we had strawberry catalana, coffee, and petit fours. The best part was being able to share the pasta and main courses, perfect for those who want to try a variety of dishes in smaller portions. The service staff were all very smart and provided excellent service (*^^*) We spent about 2 hours there. Highly recommended for those looking to enjoy an elegant lunch or celebrate a special occasion like an anniversary date! Thank you for the wonderful meal ★

On the anniversary of the view of the Dojimagawa River, the perfect Italian-Uturuna specialty 15-herb salad with Kii-no-Kuni contract farm cheese, vinegar and mustard dressing, homemade salsiccia with Manganji tomato sauce, Kitarra, Carbonara spaghetti with Kishu Namitachikogen dream egg, Iberian pork raised on acorns, Galician pork raised on chestnuts, grilled juicy sweetness. Sanuki olive beef, Ichibo grilled, Pannacotta with Caciocotta cheese.

We enjoyed a French course meal while overlooking Nakanoshima. This time, we visited for a farewell party with my university seniors, but this place is perfect for dates and special girls' nights out as well. The night view is beautiful, so I recommend going at night. The staff were very attentive to details such as explaining the dishes, preferences, allergies, and air conditioning. I would definitely like to visit again.

I finally made my long-awaited visit to Yuturna. I had made an early reservation online and secured a table by the window with a view of the riverside and the city lights on Nakanoshima that I had been looking forward to. As I entered through the solemn entrance, I climbed the chic concrete staircase to the second floor. The entrance, with its long sofa and counter seats, exuded an adult-like atmosphere with dimmed lights. I was warmly welcomed and escorted to my table, where I felt the pleasant treatment of being a guest. Across the aisle, I could see young chefs working in the glass-walled kitchen. Just as I had expected, outside the window was the contrasting view of the black river surface emphasizing the winter cold and the warm city lights from Davil to the Riga Royal Hotel. A staff member with a sommelier badge explained the drinks and the course I had reserved in great detail. I started with ordering drinks - a German craft beer and a grape orchard peach nectar for a toast. The craft beer, resembling champagne, came in a bottle with a design reminiscent of champagne. It had a 500ml capacity, and any leftovers after pouring into the glass were kept chilled for me. The peach nectar, thick and rich like tomato juice, had a reddish hue and a plum-like acidity. The heavy texture was balanced well by this acidity. The meal was a pre-ordered course called Bacchanale, recommended by the restaurant. The first served were bite-sized white cabbage potage and vegetable carpaccio. The potage had a perfect amount of pepper that increased my appetite. The vegetable carpaccio, with just olive oil and salt for seasoning, was simple and delightful. The salad for the first course was made with 15 types of herbs from a contracted farm in Wakayama. It was served with thin chopsticks, adding to the enjoyment. The salad had a substantial volume and was already seasoned with salt. As I progressed through the salad, I sprinkled olive oil and powdered cheese provided for toppings, allowing me to enjoy the salad in different flavors. Next came a platter of three appetizers - fruit tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, two types of prosciutto, and carpaccio of yellowtail from Kishu. The richness of the prosciutto, the saltiness of the ham, and the acidity of the carpaccio all paired well with the German craft beer. Finally, the long-awaited pasta arrived. The greatest joy of Italian cuisine is pasta, after all. I chose two out of four options, and each was shared and served separately. I chose a butter-based pasta with various mushrooms and a Bolognese-style pasta with chunky eggplant. The mushroom butter-based pasta was outstanding. The noodles were as described by the staff, resembling cup noodles but with the perfect blend of butter flavor and various mushroom textures from Italy. The portion for sharing seemed to follow Italian table manners, with my male companion receiving a slightly larger share. The banter with my companion, who seemed slightly envious, was enjoyable. From this point on, I switched to wine. I chose a red wine from the selection of two sparkling, two white, one rosé, and three red wines. I chose red wine without hesitation. And now, the main course. Again, I chose two out of six options to share - seafood and meat. For seafood, I had a Zuppa di Pesce with natural red snapper from Shizuoka and langoustine. Zuppa di Pesce is a soup dish steamed with clams and mussels. The tender red snapper and the firm langoustine absorbed the flavors of the snapper, langoustine, and shellfish broth, resulting in a rich and delicious dish.

On a special day, I visited a very stylish restaurant with a refined and modern atmosphere, overlooking the beautifully lit up Dojimagawa River. Not only was the ambiance great, but the quality of the food and service was also excellent. The interior was very stylish, with a trendy vibe that even young people could enjoy. The staff provided meticulous service, paying attention to detail in explaining the menu and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The taste of the dishes was also impressive, with a clean and elegant Italian flavor that brought out the best in the ingredients. The choice of glass wine was excellent, with a good selection at reasonable prices. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I would definitely like to visit again.
