*** Malouin's Smug tongue,,,,, Just for your information,,,,, ***
How happy was the heart? It was a restaurant that I haven't felt so mismatched with in a long time. The last time I felt this mismatched was at yayoyu in Kanda Nishiki-cho, which had one Michelin star. The chef, who occasionally brought the dishes himself, seemed to have a good personality and put his heart into the ingredients and plates. However, to be blunt, the taste did not suit me, and my heart could not be happy. The service woman (Madame?) explained the menu and wines so quickly that I couldn't catch the place names. For example, there were several exchanges like, "Is it Kitasorachi?" and then a wry smile followed by "No, it's Kitatokachi." The somewhat arrogant attitude towards customers from "outside the area" (I always feel uncomfortable with expressions like "outside the area" or "outside the prefecture") can be forgiven, but the Biodynamic sparkling wine and white wine prepared for pairing were ruined because they were served at too high a temperature. I had doubts about the temperature management after uncorking. It might be better not to expect crisp sparkling wine or white wine here.
How much did the tongue groan? If I were to express the dishes served with ◎, ○, △, ▼, it would be as follows: Grilled squid and pickled haskap berry salad ▼, Fried water eggplant with mackerel paste △, Matsuba flounder tartare with dashi soup ▼, Dried overnight pufferfish from Funka Bay with scallop mousse △, Tokachi Farm's Tanjaku beef ◯-like △, Tiramisu ▼, Mint jelly and cocoa ice cream △. I keep repeating, but since the flavors didn't match for me, all the dishes are rated harshly, but I felt that there are people who enjoy the taste here. Despite the risk of being misunderstood, in a completely hypothetical comparison, it's like having the taste of a Croissant magazine reader...
Do my feet naturally want to come back here? Even though my nature is to naturally move towards renowned restaurants that make my taste buds sing, if I were to revisit Hakodate, I don't feel my feet naturally moving towards this place again.
How did the Minister of Finance in my household react to the bill? Food is quite reasonably priced. A restaurant with sincerity.
☆In a word: Before arguing if good taste or not, it didn't suit me.
