Chef Mano impresses me with his ability to magically make seasonal ingredients "more delicious".
I haven't been word-of-mouth lately and have only been updating my Instagram.
.
Chef Mano appreciates the ingredients, uses all the available space, and creates delicious dishes.
.
For example, with lobsters, not only the meat but also the shells are crushed and made into an espuma sauce. He also makes dashi (Japanese soup stock). He also uses miso. It is also incredibly delicious. It's amazing how they magically transform the dish.
.
Chef Mano was the head chef at Sfida and Kuchikatsu, and I remember eating at Kuchikatsu and being very impressed. When I heard that he had started his own restaurant, I visited him immediately!
.
First of all, the exterior of the restaurant is very nice. A little bit of glass with a foot view, otherwise black walls, and the words "Jusan" (ten plates).
.
Inside, you enter through an entrance at the back on the side.
.
Once inside, you can see the open kitchen with a bang.
The dishes are prepared right in front of you, and the dishes are washed right in front of you, so it is fun to talk with customers while wiping dishes after they are done. Chef Mano said.
He seemed to be enjoying himself even more than when he was at Kuchikatsu. LOL!
.
We received a glass of champagne as a gift to celebrate the opening. We were so grateful that we had to give it to him as a gift. And it was delicious lol .
.
The food is a fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine with carefully selected ingredients from all over Japan, and 10 dishes are served. It is a full course. LOL .
.
I felt that it was neither Japanese nor Italian, but French food was also included, and in a good way, I can't describe it.
.
The ten dishes we had when we came to the restaurant were,
Handmade Tofu, Sesiko Crab
apple chips, foie gras mousse
Leatherfish, crab cracker salad
Steamed Sanriku abalone with young shoots of abalone
Abalone liver fritters
Grilled lobster with miso
Linguine with shrimp broth
grilled nodoguro tuna over an open fire
Char-grilled Kadozaki Ox with truffle egg
Rice with lotus root
This was the lineup.
The name alone is enough to make you smile.
.
The tableware was custom-made by a friend of mine, and the most impressive thing was the clay pot in which the rice was cooked. And although it was the tastiest and most generous portion, I ate the whole thing with second helpings lol.
.
There is a counter where you can enjoy the live atmosphere and a private room.
.
Highly recommended. Please go there.
.
Last but not least, there is a hidden drawer at the counter table. There is a hidden drawer in the table at the counter where you can find spoons and forks! LOL!
I should have gone there when it was nearby!
We went to Tenka-chaya on this day.
Although I've driven by a few times, this may be the first time I've landed here!
I was told there was a great restaurant, Kakunoya!
Originally located in Kitashinchi, Kakunoya has relocated and opened in my hometown!
The location is about 5 minutes from Tenga-chaya station.
A beautiful blue tent in a nostalgic apartment building.
A beautiful and cozy store from this area.
The interior is warm, bright, and very comfortable.
The small space with a counter and one table may be even better!
We toasted with a glass of champagne!
For food, let's order what you like from the a la carte menu!
Appetizers
We had an appetizer of hamo (conger eel) and clams in a cold jus!
The hamo's liver is rich and the roe is small but you can feel it's soft and chewy!
The hamo clams were juicy, light and cool!
It was a perfect dish for summer and very tasty!
Fresh caviar from France!
Next came a whole can of caviar!
When was the last time you had caviar?
No, I don't know if I ever had caviar in the first place. I've only had a little bit of it in some dishes!
For garnish, onions, egg whites, egg yolks, and chopped parsley.
These are served on crispy bread.
The seasoning of the caviar is simple, as we enjoy the caviar!
The texture of the caviar is very delicate and salty!
I have never tasted such delicious caviar!
The caviar I had before was salty and limp...
Was it an imposter?
We all agreed that the caviar was superb!
Deep-fried taro
The taro has been cooked once and then deep-fried until crispy!
Crispy on the outside, soft and smooth inside!
The tangy accent of black pepper is a nice touch!
I didn't know we had this kind of Japanese style food on the menu!
Nama-yuba, soy milk, cold sea urchin on top
The crunchy texture of the raw yuba and the fluffy texture of the soymilk!
And thick sea urchin and jellied sea urchin!
The combination of each of them makes it summery and easy to eat!
It would not be surprising if this dish was served at a Japanese restaurant.
It was also very tasty!
Carpaccio of barracuda grilled and frosted
Not raw, but grilled and frosted.
Only the skin is seared to give it a savory aroma, and you can enjoy both the grilled part and the raw part!
That's why I like it!
It had a good amount of fat!
Spare Rib Cutlet
I was surprised at the size of the spare ribs!
The ribs were braised and deep-fried, so the meat was tender and fell off the bone!
The meat is tender and juicy!
It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make this!
I ate it while thinking about that!
Kuroge Wagyu Beef Stew
As you can probably tell, the meat is tender!
I had imagined it to be beef stew, but it was served on a plate and served with mustard, which was fresh!
The deep flavor of the stew and the sour mustard go well together!
Calamari Oil Pasta
I ordered this pasta because it was described as a variety of pasta!
The chef asked me what kind of pasta I wanted, so I ordered oil pasta!
The oil pasta with baby squid came out!
It was oil pasta, but very light and the main ingredient, the calamari, really came through!
It was wonderful that the chef could make this so quickly!
Pate de Campagne
Who's that? The last one I ordered was...
Moist and soft, served with mustard, tomato base and mustard!
Everyone's wine never stops!
Yaki Curry with Orange Eggs
I thought we would have finished with pasta, but we ordered this as well!
The egg in this dish makes it mellow, but it's not boring at all!
I don't feel like I'm depending on it at all!
I'm not a big fan of eggs in curry, as they drown out the spice... but
But I didn't feel that this one was lacking in spice, and I was satisfied with it!
Homemade rich cheesecake with mango sorbet
I'll eat the desserts too!
The homemade cheesecake is refreshing yet rich!
The sorbet, made with sweet mango, is just like mango!
I'm full! I'm satisfied!
The five of us ate together, so we were happy to be able to eat various kinds of food, albeit little by little!
The chef is generally very kind and his personality seems to show!
I wonder why I didn't go there when it was in Shinchi, if they serve such wonderful food!
I regret it a little...
Such a great place for locals and families to come!
I wish I had one near here...
I will come back to your store!
Thanks for the food~!
