Tender octopus pieces with roasted baby potatoes and pickled sweet onions in a slightly spicy sauce โ so good ๐ฅน ๐ Spicy Miso Carbonara ๐ฅ โ A signature pasta, but not your usual kind! Itโs spicy cream udon topped with a runny egg ๐ฅ. Incredibly chewy udon with a hint of truffle โ unforgettable! ๐ Squid Ink Risotto ๐ฅ โ Scallop ink risotto that my boyfriend raved about. Sweet, savory, and rich โ with juicy scallops that burst with flavor (just be ready for black lips ๐). ๐ Yuzu Peach ๐ธ โ A refreshing non-alcoholic drink with light peach and lemon notes. ๐ฅฃ Last time I came, they had a uni pasta that completely blew my mind โ but itโs no longer on the menu ๐ Even though I was initially disappointed, tonightโs picks were all absolute hits โ totally won me over again! ๐ The Christmas vibes here are cozy and festive โ lots of friends gathering over wine ๐ท, chatting, and enjoying the warm winter atmosphere.
