A small gathering for important meetings, combined with a dinner party.
First, it's definitely a good idea to make a reservation for Western-style cuisine. After eating lunch last time, I really liked ENOTECA ALCHIMISTA, so I decided to go there.
Here's the translated content for the restaurant review segment 8/69:
"I am sure you will enjoy an Italian cuisine that is rich in seafood and has a Japanese flavor.
For now, let's enjoy each bite of raw beer and various other dishes.
If the number of people is small, it’s a great advantage that we can order all items in half-sized portions.

After being healed by the soup made with silver birch leaves and matsutake mushrooms, we can start preparing the dishes.
The appetizer was covered in seafood!
In Toyama, the sashimi is made from tuna with a rich umami flavor. In Izumi-Nanami, the suzuki is prepared in a Western-style way, making it very refreshing.
And, after all, the delicious white tofu katsuretsu… let's serve it with a white wine, right~w
One of the attractions of this restaurant is its menu featuring a variety of seafood preparations. The combination of vegetables is also excellent.
The pasta comes in two varieties.
Enjoyed this cream pasta with the flavor of porcini mushrooms and the saltiness of ham. A truly delightful dish perfect for drinking alcohol.
I still have my favorite salmon left♡ And the oil pasta with salmon and matsutake mushrooms. This also really suits my taste.
The main dish is a Finocchiona, filled with sausage-like meat inside a clam.
A scent of fenugreek comes from the snails... This too is a drinkable product.
There was another main dish I would like to order, namely real duck.
This is a duck from Aomori, with a firm and tender texture of meat. Again, there are no complaints.
When winter comes, one really wants to eat ducks, doesn’t they?
On that day, due to fatigue from drinking, I kept my alcohol intake to a moderate level.
Eating just this much, and the price is around 8,000 yen, so it's a very satisfying experience.
From appetizers with a fusion of seafood and Japanese flavors, to flavorful pasta dishes, and of course, hearty meat dishes as well—there's nothing to complain about.
Since it's a place that operates with a small number of people, it's better to make reservations. However, if you're drinking in Tsurubashi, it seems like this place would be suitable for places like Shinkyo.
I'll be there again.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Yeah, I feel like I'm in the mood for Western food now…
So, we headed towards ENOTECA ALCHIMISTA, which was located along the way.
Hmm? Is there a guy with a beard visiting alone?
Does it match?
The restaurant is located on the first floor of a building in a narrow alley just one block away from Chiyoda-dori.
The interior is casual but has a calm atmosphere, and the customer base is mainly women, huh?
While it is possible to order individual items, for this special occasion, we recommend choosing the best available option.
・アルキミスタランチ 3000円
Appetizer: Tuna Carpaccio and Hot Spring Egg Salad
Soups: Minestrone with vegetables
Pasta with Squid Fillets and Clams in Tomato Sauce
Main: South Country Pork Cutslet
Desserts (Pudding, Cheese Cake, Ice Cream, Fruits)
Coffee
Oh, the appetizer really gets my attention!
The salad features leafy greens with a gentle fruit-based dressing, along with diced tomatoes, which create a great combination.
The cut pieces of large-sized tuna are actually 4 pieces! The skin texture that bounces off when eating is absolutely perfect. And there was even a hot spring egg attached to it. w
The generous amount of vegetables in the Minestrone is cooked with the broth made from dill.
Such a gentle use of soy sauce? Using seafood? That really feels good.
The pasta includes eel white and clams.
This is an oily and rich tomato sauce that really makes you crave alcohol. When mixed with eel whitefish and served as a creamy sauce, it becomes absolutely delicious!!
This source material is perfect for serving in buckets!
By now, I’m pretty full, so let’s move on to the main dish.
The main dish is, of course, my favorite katsuretsu.
Below, potatoes are laid out, and on top of that, cutlets. Even further above, there’s a sauce with a rich cheese flavor, along with plenty of vegetables.
A delicious dish where crispy chicken cutlets are mixed with plenty of vegetables, and enjoyed with the rich flavor of cheese. This is also a great choice.
Additionally, there are plenty of servings for desserts, and even coffee available.
With this amount of portion and the deliciousness, 3,000 yen is quite reasonable!
It's a pleasure to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine that incorporates seafood flavors and Japanese elements at an affordable price. Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients sourced from Tsurubashi Bulk Market are truly appealing, aren't they?
Italian? I don’t really understand much about it, but anyway, it was delicious.
Thank you for your hospitality.
