Juenne — Restaurant in Kobe

Amazing, in every sense of the word. Truly deserving of the Michelin star that they have. First and foremost, the food was mind-blowing. Fresh and seasonal ingredients, colorful and modern fusions of Japanese plus French cuisine, and great wine. What did we have? Oh boy, let me explain. As for the amuse-bouche, if we're speaking french, we had a smooth and velvety bell pepper mousse on top of tomato puree which tasted like heaven. Next up was Fugo Shirako tart (Fugu is puffer fish, and Shirako is, well, milt, lol). Even though it was my first time trying Shirako, I enjoyed it a great deal and my perception was changed. Tasty, warm and nice. For the next dish we had halfbeak fish from Awaji island topped with spring flowers. Colorful, refreshing and artistic to say the least. Then it was time for a poached egg on French white asparagus with a foamy glory around it; also super tasty and nice. Then, the soup entered the fray, and what an entrance: green peas soup with sea shells. Creamy, hearty and delicious. Then we had a baby squid rissoto which was almost too cute of a dish to be eaten, but it was so good that I don't regret it at all. And finally, it was time for salad but in a more modern approach. Salad with cheese, wrapped in a savory Galette. Super good, fresh and nice. The only problem with it was that there was only one of it for each of us. That was so good that I wanted more! Afterwards we had another fish dish, this time from Sakura bream from Akashi, grilled on charcoal. Super tasty, soft and umami. Next was surprising for me, but it was so good that I'm craving it while writing this review. It was a Shiso sorbet, so tasty, fresh and fitting for the course that I could eat a kilogram of it and still have room for more. Finally, came the time for the main course. Lamb shanks with what seemed like an Ume (Japanese plum) sauce alongside sea salt and wild pepper plus a new type of onion from Awaji island, grilled to perfection. The shanks were cooked just to the right amount, they were juicy, soft, tasty and glorious. After the main dish, we had three different desserts. First was vanilla ice cream topped with passion fruit, which was supposed to be mixed with the ice cream before being eaten. Extremely tasty and refreshing after so many dishes. Next up was a coffee jelly dessert, also very tasty and refreshing. And finally, a Mille-feuille which had Adzuki beans from Sasayama alongside Matcha from Uji, which is the best Matcha you can get in Japan. It was out of this world. The layers of pasty were fresh, brittle and soft at the same time. The beans were just the right amount of sweetness, and the Matcha was the Umami king with the slightest hint of bitterness to balance everything out. Lastly, a shot of espresso with great crema, aroma and taste (assuming it was 100% Arabica). The acidity was at a great level and the amount of bitterness was almost non-existent compared to most "good" coffee chains (yes, I'm looking at your overly bitter, burnt coffee Starbucks). To talk about the service, it was some of the best I've seen in Japan. Japanese restaurants and businesses are already meticulously attentive and careful when it comes to customers (customer is god after all), but this restaurant was truly up at the peak of the fine dinning experience. Everything was clean, everyone was polite and focused on the customers' needs, all dishes were served in a polite and articulated fashion and cutlery was changed after each dish. The restaurant itself is located around 10 to 15 minutes by foot from either the Hanshin line or Hankyu line, the atmosphere inside was cozy, warm, welcoming and modern at the same time, and the decor was a great fit for the vibe. Overall, I would give this a 6 out of 5 stars if I could. I'm extremely that I could experience dinning at this restaurant, and will definitely come back later, if my pocket...

かなり前に行きました。 大川シェフが、在日でなければ、再訪してたと思います。 とても残念です。 二度と行きません。 在日なのにミシュランって、どういうことなのかしら？と思っています。 このシェフが、支配しているので、他の方々の良さや力が、全く発揮出来ていなく、店内は、どこかしら、ピリピリしてます。 ご子息がされているお店よりは、もちろん、はるかに美味しいです。 比較対象が、違う気もしますけど。 ミシュラン１つ星のお店です。 ミシュランが付いてても外れなお店も世の中に溢れてますけど、情報としてです。 こちらに予約なしで、行ったことはないので不明ですが、１名から予約可能ではあります。 開店されてから、時は経ちましたが、好みは人それぞれですが、いまいちなお味かと思います。 高級食材を使用しなくても美味しいと思わせたいかもしれませんが、どんな食材を使用していてもダメなお店で、ミシュランが付いてても外れです。 ランチは、激安というかかなり安価です。 改装で、3ヶ月も休業してましたが、営業再開しなくても改装もしなくても潰れてくれてたら、良かったのにと思ってます。 こちらに行かれる際は、よくお考えになられてから...
