☆小小感想☆
This time, we visited an establishment in Shinjuku that has the same name as its error code: "404 not found". As the name suggests, there is no signage at the entrance. On the door, there even appears the words "rental restaurant". It’s a well-known place—a true hidden French bistro.
A place in Shinjuku where you can forget the noise around you, an atmosphere reminiscent of a secret base for adults. It was a store that made me extremely excited from the moment I opened the door.
On this day, I ordered a menu that was composed entirely of "meat," which is truly irresistible for meat lovers. The menu included Wagyu beef delivered directly from Shibuya, as well as rare jibei deer caught by hunters. It's a lineup that can only be enjoyed here. Let's get started with the report!
・Black Wagyu Beef Caviar
A luxurious tartlet featuring a tartalet steak made with black beef, served with caviar. The crust of the spring roll is crisply baked and used to create a tart-like presentation. The aroma of sweetness and rich flavor spreads across your taste buds with just one bite.
・ลูกแกะทัน สตรอว์
A rare lamb tenderloin is prepared into a salad using two cooking methods. The tenderloin is sautéed to bring out a fragrant texture, while the tail of the lamb is slowly cooked in a low-temperature sauce to make it moist and smooth. The beetroot and citrus sauce add a refreshing touch to the dish.
・猪 フィセル
A plate of pork prepared by a hunter from Oita, wrapped in crepe with plenty of mushroom sauce and cheese. The pork is cooked until crispy and fragrant, with no unpleasant taste at all. It’s a truly addictive flavor.
・Made in France. Pork shoulder. Apple
We cook the pork shoulder from the region of Brittany slowly in a spiked wine made from apples from the same region. The pork becomes extremely tender and soft. We then layer cream and a coffee-like sauce over it. The aroma of apples and their smoothness spread throughout the dish.
・鸭肉 春菊 包裹烤制
The duck breast was carefully wrapped in a pie and roasted. The outside is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is juicy and full of flavor. The sour tomato sauce and the fresh jonenbeze from spring chrysanthemums complement each other perfectly, making the dish both visually appealing and delicious.
・Produced in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Deer meat, grilled with straw.
Mountain View Prefecture's deer meat was carefully roasted with straw, resulting in an unparalleled aroma. The rich blackberry sauce harmonizes perfectly with the flavor of the deer meat, creating a premium taste that becomes more intense the more you chew.
・Black Wagyu Beef Kama
This rare cut of black beef is transformed into a kabayaki-style dish. It has a rich flavor and a tender texture that melts in the mouth. The sweet crisp texture of the bamboo basket, combined with the sauce made with yabukido miso, creates a harmonious balance between the richness of the fat and the delicious taste.
Every dish here is filled with meticulous care and attention to detail, making them incredibly delicious. Including the dessert, it's a course that satisfies everyone, especially those who love meat.
“If it's just meat, it might seem heavy…” You might think that. But with a French-based recipe, it's light enough for even women to enjoy.
In addition, there are pairing options that complement the meat and dishes, allowing for a more enjoyable dining experience.
The staff's clear and polite service, along with their attentive and considerate approach to customer needs, is also a pleasant aspect.
The brick-style interior is stylish, creating a calm atmosphere where you can enjoy time at your leisure.
Suitable for various occasions such as dates, anniversaries, or business gatherings.
