I visited with a reservation on Saturday at 1:15 PM. Lunch reservations seem to be divided into two sessions, and this time slot is for the afternoon. It's just a short walk from Oyamazaki Station, but if you're driving, there's a Times parking lot in front of the station that costs 200 yen for 60 minutes, which is cheaper. We had reserved a terrace seat, but it was already available 10 minutes before our reservation time, so we were able to sit down. There are two terrace seats with partitions, so you can enjoy your meal without worrying too much about your surroundings. The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious, but the seats are arranged in a relaxed manner with a white-based color scheme, creating a nice atmosphere. The lunch set includes a course meal and coffee after the meal. The appetizer was described as sweet potato potage, but it also seemed to contain green beans. The plates were heated thoroughly, and the soup was very hot and rich. The bread was warm and fluffy, and the lemon-flavored olive oil was delicious. The pasta was spaghetti with cherry shrimp and cabbage. The flavor of the cherry shrimp was stronger than expected, and there was a subtle scent of yuzu. The base was similar to aglio e olio, but you could enjoy the flavor from a different perspective, making it delicious. The pasta was flat fettuccine? It went well with the fresh pasta, and the pasta itself was just delicious. For palate cleansing, there was a rose hip and Campari jelly. It had a strong aroma but also a refreshing taste, with just the right amount of sweetness. The main dish was lemon butter oven-baked fresh fish of the day. The fish was tender, and it paired perfectly with the buttery sauce. It was nice to have plenty of mushrooms. Was it onions? The ingredients were finely chopped, and the texture was good. I want to take this sauce home. For dessert, there was a florentine and sorbet. They looked very stylish, and you could keep looking at them. The florentine was a baked confectionery with a firm texture, and to be honest, I would have preferred a slightly moister dessert. The accompanying whipped cream was also delicious. The sorbet was berry-flavored, refreshing yet surprisingly rich and tasty. I thought it might be mainly frequented by locals, but it was such a high-level restaurant that I think many people come from afar as well. The cost performance is good, the atmosphere is excellent, and I would definitely like to visit again.
