〜Memo〜
I wanted to visit kuma3 in Azabu-Juban, but upon learning about the great lunch course deal at kuma3 in Kitashinchi, I decided to visit. Despite being limited to 5 groups per day, I was able to make a reservation easily, perhaps due to the influence of COVID-19. The entrance of the building has no sign, just a cute bear logo. It has a hidden gem vibe that gets you excited! Moreover, the entrance to the restaurant is through an intercom!!! If someone takes me here on a date, I would definitely be impressed. lol
I visited this time to treat my mother, and since it is a completely private room, it is perfect for a date. I will definitely use it in the future. Let me use it. lol
The menu names are designed as riddles. They are expressed with wordplay and emojis, making it fun to imagine what kind of dish will be served. Please note that spoilers are included in the following report.
☆Beef tongue and Marushin salad
Despite being an appetizer, it already has plenty of meat which is delightful! The dressing is incredibly delicious, making for a promising start.
☆Japanese beef and lotus root steamed bun with white soup
The white soup sauce and steamed bun are gently comforting in their deliciousness. The chewy steamed bun was excellent!
☆Kuma sandwich
The signature dish of kuma3. Also available for takeout. Despite its small size, you can't complain about the deliciousness! The tender meat that you can easily bite into and the double sweetness of the crispy toasted bread are irresistibly delicious!!!
☆Foie gras candy
Foie gras and raisin candy. Whether it's my unsophisticated palate or not, I couldn't feel the foie gras (lol). Personally, it was just delicious caramel, but my mother said she could strongly feel the foie gras, haha.
☆Charcoal-grilled rib roast
The type of meat may vary depending on the day? On this day, there were four slices of rib roast. With its rare appearance and the richness of the fat, expectations were high. And it exceeded expectations in deliciousness. Incredibly tender!!! There are no tendons at all, and it cleanly melts away. Despite the initial concern about the fat being heavy, it was not at all heavy or overwhelming, making it a rib roast that you can easily enjoy! All three types of condiments were delicious, and SMB29 is the best ♡
☆Ochazuke or curry
When asked whether I wanted rice with tea or curry, I decided to ask if I could have both, and they kindly agreed ♬︎ It was good that I had read everyone's reviews in advance (lol) At the Kitashinchi location, you can have both! When it came to choosing the small dishes for the ochazuke, there were too many attractive options that it was difficult to decide... After some contemplation, I chose the bonito flakes and the restaurant's homemade beef shigure. The ochazuke with tuna broth was delicious, of course! The curry was also delicious, but the ochazuke is especially recommended!
☆Dessert
Kuma's monaka with popping candy and vanilla ice cream. In the glass, there was peach compote, custard and yogurt with melon. Additionally, there was corn cake and pear. The appearance, taste, everything was perfect! I will definitely come back for this. Once I get a boyfriend, I will take him here immediately (lol) At this quality, 5000 yen per person is truly an unfair price. I want to keep this place a secret lol.
