飲める聖護院大根❗️お殿様なランチ❤️

こんな道入ってホンマにお店あるの？ っていう場所。 あった！ 暖簾をくぐっても 本当にここお店だよね⁉️ という隠れ家感😆

立派な日本家屋の店内は陽当たりよく 居心地バツグン。 メニューは可愛いイラスト❤️

🟧ご飯ランチ「森」Shin 1650円 届きますっ‼️ まるでお殿様やないの〜‼️ 彩りもきれい✨

今日のメイン 🔸聖護院大根と黄人参のポトフ 大根が、ギリギリ固体‼️ 柔らかくて、ほぼスープやん〜❤️ 金時人参も柔らかく、ソーセージもベーコンも全てが優しくて自然な甘さ✨ ブイヨンスープがすっごく美味しい💕

🔸おばんざい膳 ・ごぼうサラダは甘めの味付け。 ごぼうの食感をギリギリ残した柔らかさ。 ・カボチャサラダは素材のかぼちゃの甘みを大切にされてます。 ・小松菜のおひたしはさっぱり。 ・肉味噌大根はピリ辛。 ・がんもはほろほろと口の中でとろける。 1つ1つ美味しくて、家庭料理に近いのに家庭では絶対作れないお味に満足です‼️

🔸やさいサラダ サラダドレッシングが柑橘系でさっぱり。 そーいや故郷納税でしてるのみたなー

🔸ご飯はおかわり可能 ツヤツヤでおかず多いからおかわりしちゃった😆

🔸 コーヒーまたは紅茶1杯付。
