I visited this restaurant a while ago and had their course meal, which was very satisfying. There were many delicious dishes on the menu, including some tempting items on the a la carte menu, so I decided to revisit with my family of four not long after. I made a reservation for a table again. We started by ordering drinks - beer, plum wine, and sake. We toasted with Wind Forest sake when our drinks arrived. For the first course, we were served a dish of foie gras chawanmushi, which had a rich and satisfying flavor, perfect for a cold day. We then ordered a sashimi assortment, persimmon with white sesame dressing, herring roe with kelp, and firefly squid marinated in soy sauce. The sashimi included sea bream, spear squid, grilled mackerel, bluefin tuna, and octopus. They were served with vinegar citrus, salt, and soy sauce. The sea bream and mackerel were particularly delicious. The persimmon with white sesame dressing, herring roe with kelp, and firefly squid were also very tasty. Next, we ordered grilled red sea bream with scales, simmered tofu with miso, and vegetable tempura. We also wanted to have some rice early, so we ordered the oyster and celery pot rice. The vegetable tempura included lotus root, sweet potato, and shiitake mushroom, served with salt and tempura dipping sauce. The tempura was freshly fried and each vegetable had its own distinct flavor. Everyone wanted seconds. The grilled red sea bream with scales was delicious, with a light and crispy texture complemented by the delicate flavor of the white fish. The simmered tofu with miso had a wonderful balance of flavors and a satisfying chewy texture. Everyone loved it. We then ordered grilled chicken wrapped in magnolia leaves, simmered taro, and red sea bream hot pot. The chicken wrapped in magnolia leaves was cooked over a small charcoal brazier, giving it a smoky flavor. The simmered taro was tender and flavorful. The oyster and celery pot rice and red sea bream hot pot were served together. The pot rice had a delightful oyster flavor and aroma, with the fresh taste of celery. The red sea bream hot pot was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Despite being quite full at this point, we couldn't resist ordering another round of vegetable tempura and the duck breast on hot stones. The duck breast on hot stones was cooked with white leeks on a stone pot, and served with ponzu sauce. The duck had a rich flavor and aroma, and the leeks were also delicious. The vegetable tempura this time included lotus root, sweet potato, and eggplant, and was as tasty as before. Lastly, we were served the eel and half-cooked egg pot rice.
