I went on a business trip to Kobe and Fukuoka via phone reservation. Actually, I wanted to go with my son who is currently in Fukuoka, but he completely rejected the idea, so I went alone.
This is a restaurant that specializes in courses featuring the abundant local chickens from Oita. It's located in a corner of a building where the Panorama Square restaurant is situated. I made a reservation on a Thursday at 8 p.m.
I arrived just in time, and a calm atmosphere was welcomed by the counter. Five of the ten seats were occupied. There also seemed to be private rooms available, which were also full. I had made a reservation over the phone, so I was looking forward to enjoying sashimi there.
Let's start with Asahi Live Beer (693 yen). After drinking two glasses of beer, I ordered three glasses of Kiroku's strong soda beer.
The menu is as follows: it's a meal for three people—a young husband and wife, along with a young woman. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. We enjoyed our meal while listening to jazz.
The skewers are served with salt and sauce for each part. However, the salt is of a mild concentration. The overall presentation is elegant, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to be fully appreciated. The sauce is also sweet and lightly flavored, yet still elegant. It's quite impressive.
Vegetables included were fresh snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, and other delicacies.

This is a very elegant course. It seems that the master chef ate a lot, and he considered this dish to be the most flavorful one! Unfortunately, the smoking rack was made of stainless steel, so the food couldn't be seen clearly. However, the cooking method and the amount of salt used were perfectly balanced. The wife was also cheerful, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Once again, I felt that Kyushu is a treasure trove of delicious ingredients. Thank you very much for the wonderful meal.
