Visit in August 2022
【Restaurant Overview】
Asakusa is a place of charm, and especially during lunchtime, one can visit various restaurants.
In such a situation, since the restaurant is closed on weekdays at noon, I was aware of its existence but never had the chance to visit. However, I finally got the opportunity to visit during the dinner hours of the restaurant that I had been curious about for a while.
This restaurant specializes in ingredients such as dried vegetables and other dried products.
The interior of the restaurant features a high counter facing the bar, with a few seats. On the first floor, there are sofa seats. On the second floor, which resembles an attic, there is a Japanese-style space.
It seems that there are many regular customers. However, even those who are not regular customers can easily enter the place. Given that it is located right next to a hotel commonly used by tourists, it is impressive how stylish and sophisticated customers with travel experience are also drawn in.
【食品・飲み物について】
★블랙레몬 사워
The restaurant offers a wide variety of drinks, including whisky.
Among them, I highly recommend the "Black Lemon Sour" as a drink.
Black lemon soursa, with a distinctive appearance indeed.
Of course, the flavor of lemon is also present, but the more natural and gentle sweetness is what sets this dish apart. Apparently, it's made by marinating ingredients in black sugar and then brewing them with black sugar sake.
I see, it seems that this restaurant offers nutrients like minerals as well.
★ドライフルーツアソート
Dry fruits and nuts are also available in three different varieties as side dishes.
★ワサカガパオライス
I have ordered the most popular dishes.
ガパオライスというと、一般的には豪快なイメージがありますが、ほしやのガパオライスは非常に繊細で優しい味わいを持っています。
The rice is made from sixteen types of grains. It has the flavor of dried mushrooms infused in its broth. It resembles the taste of cooked rice or pilaf.
The minced meat is also quite substantial in quantity, and the amount of food available is more than sufficient.
★チキンと季節の干し野菜グリル
This is a juicy chicken steak that is beautifully fragrant with dried herbs (rosemary).
The side dishes, pickled vegetables, are also delicious. It seems that everything is first dried in the sun to turn into pickled vegetables. Indeed, things that are delicious usually require a lot of effort.
★베이크드 치즈 케이크
This is a mysterious cake that truly captures both the flavors of cheese and chocolate.
The flavor is rich and delicious. I feel that it pairs well with alcohol.
On top of the cake, there are dried grapes, which convey the shop’s dedication to quality.
The sister restaurants of the "Hoshiyā" that we visited this time reportedly have four locations in the Akasaka area, along with the main "Hoshiyā" restaurant.
I'm also tempted to take a look there.
With stylish staff who provide comfortable service, it's a pleasant place for first-time visitors. It's understandable that many regular customers come here. I think this is an excellent restaurant.
The original drinks are also delicious, and the food is also tasty. Therefore, it's easy to use this place mainly for dining.
I think this is a great place that I would like to visit again.
Thank you for your hospitality.
