味菜 — Restaurant in Shimoda

This little place in Shimoda is outstanding. Like eating in a Michelin starred restaurant. We ate all plant based and fish and every bite was delicious. A real adventure in food, we had the set menu and although sometimes had we had no idea what we were eating, it was all so tasty and perfectly balanced.

Our lovely hostess also kept us well looked after and hydrated with cold water very good sake! We thought it very reasonably priced at 15000Y for a multi course set menu for two with drinks. A real feature of our stay...

The restaurant was by appointment only. I used a proxy to assist us with making the reservation. My husband and I visited the restaurant at the end of June for dinner.

誕生日のお祝いで連れてきてもらいました。 よく見てないと見逃してしまう入り口から隠れた名店の予感。。。

詳細には書きませんが、 とにかく最高なお店でした。

お料理を作ってくれる亭主さんと出してくれる女将さん(おそらくご夫婦)はとても優しく、気さくに話しかけてくださいました。

席は個室かカウンターで、 席数が少ないのでとても落ち着いて食事ができます(伺った日はたまたま私たち1組だけでした)

そしてメインのお食事ですが、 全ての料理がとても美味しかったです。味の良さだけでなく、味付けが1つ1つ丁寧で、地元の食材、季節の食材、高級食材がバランスよく使われていて、楽しくなるコースでした。

個人的には、盛り付けに使われる食器がどれもとても素敵で、出てくるたびに感動しました。 美味しいお料理がより一層引き立つお皿選びもこのお店の素晴らしさの1つと感じました。

大変満足で...
