Season of Farewells @Higobashi|Happiness through good food!
Spring is approaching and it's time to say goodbye Sad news that came suddenly Let's go out to eat for the last time!
(Let's go eat for the last time!
Originally a cigarette shop (still selling cigarettes)
Take-out sandwiches in the morning
Curry lunch in the afternoon
Italian bar at night
Italian bar at night
Especially at night, the place is packed day after day, night after night!
The restaurant is very popular for its inexpensive and delicious Italian food!
Chef Yokoyama, who has been working there for 7 years, will be leaving at the end of February, so I went to see him for the last time!
I had originally planned to meet him on the last day for a dinner party, but I just had to... I just had to... I just had to see him...
When I went to the restaurant without a reservation, it was even more packed than usual!
Everyone came to see Chef Yokoyama!
It takes an hour before a table opens!
My stomach is at a 9.5, should I walk to consume as much as possible? Shall I run?
No, we crashed at a nearby restaurant to kill plenty of time!
The place is always packed with people, but this day was really amazing!
At Mashika, you order your food at the checkout counter!
When it's ready, they bring it to your seat!
Drinks are also usually self-serve!
You can bring your favorite drink from the refrigerator, or you can have it automatically filled with wine or beer!
On this day, four of us went to the restaurant, and one of the members was a sommelier, so we left it to him!
ataraxia 2015 white wine
It is refreshing, but rich in flavor and does not interfere with the meal,
It is not a hindrance to a meal, rather, it is a perfect match for future dishes!
Lightly smoked glutinous pork paté (500 yen)
This is another must-try when you come here!
The thickly cut pâté is meaty, and the pistachio? The texture of the nuts is exquisite!
And the slight smokiness of the pork is a must-try!
Spicy chicken skin!
↑upI don't know the name of this dish...
I don't know the name of the dish... It's a spicy version of chicken skin.
I can imagine what it tastes like, but the spices are used very well and the chicken skin does not have a habit of being spicy!
It's like a snack!
Gorgonzola Treviso Walnut Salad with Honey
Gorgonzola has a peculiar taste, but with honey, it tastes really unique!
A salad can be transformed into such a stylish dish!
Frito of Broad bean with Parmigiano-Reggiano
A product only available now using spring vegetables!
The aroma of cheese is already wafting through the air as soon as it is brought to the table!
This is what I mean when I say that the aroma alone is enough to make me want to drink alcohol.
The slight bitterness of the fava beans and the richness of the cheese are outstanding!
Japanese Deer Bolognese
All of Masika's pasta dishes are exquisite!
The Bolognese is a thick sauce with a strong meaty flavor!
It is made from venison, so it is thick, but it has a delicious aftertaste that does not leave a bad aftertaste!
Truffle-flavored tajarin with scallion butter cream sauce
And Mashika's signature pasta!
Tayarin!
Pasta is fresh pasta kneaded with egg
This bright orange color!
The cream sauce that is generously mixed with this pasta is
Asari Butter!
The umami of the scallion and the butter are exquisite!
The truffle flavor is added to it!
If it were summer, there would be lots of summer truffles!
There are no summer truffles this time of year, right?
It's been a long time since I've had tayarin, but it was so good!
GENTIL "HUGEL
Wine from Alsace region!
It has a little bit of a habit, but the aftertaste is very refreshing, so it's easy to drink!
We drank a lot of wine that day!
Chef Yokoyama is busy seeing off all the customers who are leaving!
Chef Yokoyama is from Ponte Vecchio!
That's why the food here is superb!
And since it is reasonably priced, it's no wonder it's so popular!
Chef Yokoyama also holds cooking classes twice a month, and I have attended a few of them!
It was a lot of fun, and I looked forward to attending the cooking classes!
That's no longer the case!
The next stage for Chef Yokoyama is to open "Blue Light Yokoyama" in Wakasa Wada, Fukui!
I love the name!
He is planning to open a nice restaurant near the sea!
I will miss his cooking, but I will make a trip to Fukui again someday!
Mashika has also invited a new chef from the famous restaurant "Chenchi" in Kyoto.
Let's visit the new Mashika when the summer truffles are available!
Thank you for the food!

 A marriage of champagne and soy sauce.
I've uploaded a revisit with this food log change.
When I went back to the original, it's gone. !!!!
I've asked the food log to send me the data.
Thank goodness!
If you wrote a revisit to the restaurant with the new system during the changed period
There is a possibility that it has disappeared, so I think it would be better to check it once.
Please let me re-update it.

We received a commemorative course for Flute Flute's 3rd anniversary!
First of all, congratulations on your 3rd anniversary \(^◇^)_/\(*^^*)/.
Thank you for spreading the wonderfulness of soy sauce to the world!
A glass of champagne is included in the course!
Renegjorie Cuvée Special "RJ" Magnum
Only 500 bottles of this rare Champagne were shipped to Japan!
Undan and seasonal vegetables in boiled rice style jus
It was the beginning of September, so it was still hot and humid...
It was a refreshing dish that dispelled the heat and humidity!
Lightly seared bluefin squid and scallop with cucumber sauce
The cucumber sauce was more delicious than the ingredients! It was delicious!
If you don't like cucumber, you will never be able to enjoy this dish, but it was full of cucumber flavor!
☆ Spring Rolls with Jidori Chicken, Chestnuts and Pumpkin with Five Spice Flavor and Soy Sauce Sauce
You can enjoy the texture of the ingredients such as chicken, chestnuts, and pumpkin!
The spring rolls were like a dessert!
Macaroon sandwich with foie gras and Kinzanji miso
What? Dessert? No, no, it's not.
The macarons are not sweet, but the richness of the foie gras and miso go together strangely!
It is amazing that macarons can be served as a meal!
Spaghetti with fresh pasta and porcini mushrooms in a soy sauce sauce sauce with browned butter
Soy sauce, Essile butter, and there porcini!
How could it not be delicious?
The boiling water was perfect and the aroma of butter and porcini made it smell luxurious!
Wagyu beef thigh steak with grilled eggplant and black truffle oil sauce
Beautifully cooked thigh meat!
Wrapped with grilled eggplant...delicious! The juicy eggplant and the black truffle oil sauce were the perfect combination!
The juicy eggplant goes well with the meat.
They use soy sauce that goes well with all the dishes!
What? Where? You'll be surprised!
I hope Flute Flute will continue to prosper!

We're here for the second half of this month, lol.
Visited after eating at the first one.
My friend really wanted to visit there, so I came with her!
It was a Friday, and the place was crowded.
For the first time, we sat at a table instead of at the counter.
The three of us toasted with today's champagne!
My friend who loves foie gras found a macaroon sandwich and ordered it immediately!
I had the omelette with truffle butter, which I had been eyeing for a while.
Lan King's eggs baked to fluffy perfection!
The truffle butter gives off a wonderful aroma!
The richness of the taste is unmistakable....
I also ordered the Octopus and Avocado Potato Salad with Yuzu Plum Jelly and Soy Sauce!
The presentation looks like something you would expect to find in a French restaurant!
The yuzu-ume jus sauce really packs a punch!
The texture of the octopus, the punch of the plum, and the creaminess of the avocado keep my mouth busy (lol).
It was refreshing and tasty!
Unfortunately, we had to leave because the last train was coming...
My friend regretted not eating the most exciting and troublesome TKG in Japan, a specialty of this place!
I should have said more.
And so we took a short run home.
Flute Flute Flute, please continue to surprise me...

After leaving Ting Tai-san, a few members went here
It's Flute Flute, a long-sought-after restaurant.
Many of my reviewers went, and even brought their daughters...
I was already left behind... lol
Go down the stairs to the basement.
When you open the door, you'll see a rather moody interior.
The voices and volume are subdued!
There is a counter and tables, and it's not that big!
You don't have to look at the menu anymore!
Why? Because I had already made up my mind before I came here!
Champagne of the day and my wish
The most annoying but exciting egg rice dish in Japan!
This is why I was so anxious to try it!
A second toast with champagne!
What was the champagne this day? Sorry...
I don't remember.
It was refreshing and easy to drink!
Now, an orange yolk egg appeared on top of the rice!
About 50 different kinds of soy sauce lined up on the counter are poured over the rice on small spoons!
How many kinds have you already poured?
I poured as much as I could!
Each soy sauce has its own interesting and deep flavor!
The one I liked the most was the Undan Soy Sauce!
It really tastes like a soy sauce mixed with unotan!
I wish we had a bottle of this at home!
And the most intense flavor was the Gozen Soy Sauce from Kamada Sokojo!
I'd like to introduce all of them, but it's too much of a hassle.
I was so busy eating that I didn't write them down.
This is the first time in my life that I have enjoyed soy sauce so much!
I learned that there are so many different flavors of soy sauce all over Japan!
It was a pain in the ass, but so much fun!
Next time - I want to try the omelette with truffle butter!
And some annoying ice cream for dessert...
I'm not going home, I'm going across the street to say hello...
We arrived home very late for the first time in a long time...
