Hyperlocal Tokyo

I visited for lunch. I had made a reservation beforehand through Hitosara, and when I requested a slightly more private seat for my age, they kindly provided a private room. It was a lunch with a friend who had recently returned to Japan, so thanks to the private room, we were able to have a leisurely conversation and enjoy our meal. First, soup and bread were served. The rich soup was incredibly delicious, and they even brought out rillettes as a complimentary treat, which was also delicious! The bread was fluffy and went perfectly with the whipped butter. My anticipation for the pasta grew… Summer vegetable and shrimp peppery pasta. It had a colorful and refreshing appearance, but it also had a strong kick of spice. The thin noodles were coated in the sauce and went down smoothly. The portion was generous, leaving me completely full! One of the best things about this place is that they don't skimp on either the food or the dessert. The desserts are chosen from a display case and served beautifully. The mango sorbet was refreshing and light, followed by a rich chocolate and pistachio cake. If it wasn't such a hot day, I would have taken it home with me. There were also many baked goods, making it a feast for the eyes. It was a relaxing and tranquil space, completely unlike the bustling Asakusa outside, where I was able to enjoy delicious pasta and dessert.

A popular French restaurant in Asakusa. We made a reservation for a full course featuring both fish and meat. It came with four drinks, and they paired wines with each dish. It was a nice little pairing. The dessert was supposedly made by a pastry chef? It was very authentic. Nice.

We stopped by this restaurant after visiting a grave. It was a Sunday lunch, and we made a reservation on the day. We were seated at a U-shaped counter. [I later found out there are private rooms in the back.] The photo shows the three items on the pasta lunch menu. The French bread, pate, and butter, all baked in-house, were smooth and delicious. The pasta was salmon cream, served with spring cabbage for a gentle touch. For dessert, we could choose from the display case. There were several strawberry-based cakes, being the season. I chose the white berry shortcake. It had a refreshing taste, just right for my stomach. The accompanying baked goods were small but delicious. With all this excitement, the meal cost 3,000 yen. It was a restaurant I wanted to visit again. However, if you're driving, be aware that all the coin parking lots are usually full!

I previously enjoyed a course meal at ensia. 🍽✨ It was very helpful that we were able to use a private room with our child. 🙏 The food was also very delicious. ensia's cakes 🎂 are also highly recommended.

I had lunch here. The cakes are chosen from a display case, and the dessert was very delicious and comforting. The bread was also delicious. I chose the peperoncino pasta from the set menu, but I was concerned about the rawness of the shrimp and the strong flavor. For a set menu at ¥3,000, I would like the iced coffee to be of a higher quality.
