"A creative restaurant in Roppongi that blends Thai and Japanese cuisine. Every dish was delicate and of exceptional quality, a taste you can only find here. From the appetizers, the crab was full of flavor, and the monkfish liver was also delicious. The tuna with truffle was of such high quality that I couldn't help but exclaim how delicious it was. The Tom Yum soup had a Japanese twist and was incredibly flavorful. I was amazed by how delicious the Thai curry was! The accompanying wine was perfectly paired with each dish, so I highly recommend ordering it. It was a wonderful experience to enjoy high-quality food in a refined atmosphere with close friends."

"A hidden gem of a yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Azabu, offering luxurious private rooms. The namul and kimchi are beautifully presented and authentically flavored, especially the yukkе, which is a vibrant orange. The Tajima beef tongue, fillet, and sirloin are exquisite, with the thick-cut tongue being a truly memorable experience. Cold noodles and oxtail paella are also available, and the dessert gelato is refreshing and a heartwarming way to end the meal. The hospitality is exceptional, making it a place I would definitely return to."

"Tucked away in the basement, a short walk from Roppongi Station towards Nishi-Azabu, lies a hidden gem of a bistro. The interior boasts elegant lighting and a high ceiling, creating a sophisticated and calming ambiance. The carefully arranged glassware and wine bottles add a touch of elegance to the space. Chef Ikejiri has a distinguished background, having worked at renowned establishments like Restaurant Hiramatsu's main branch and Maison Paul Bocuse. On this occasion, I ordered the following: The three-course amuse-bouche was devoured quickly, perfectly paired with sparkling wine. Every bite was a delight. Each dish showcased meticulous attention to ingredients and cooking techniques, leaving me truly impressed. The roasted lotus root was particularly memorable – I've never tasted lotus root prepared so exquisitely. The homemade bacon was crispy and irresistible! The main course, roasted New Zealand Suffolk lamb, was remarkably free of any gamey flavor. The lamb's characteristic aroma and rich taste were exceptional. The meat was roasted to perfection, with no overcooked parts, making it a perfect match for red wine. The lamb tongue pané was also a revelation, with a delicious mustard sauce and a unique fritter texture. The shiitake mushroom ajillo was a perfect accompaniment to the bread, which I couldn't resist ordering multiple times. The mushrooms, known as 'Tenkei-gusa,' are said to have three times the umami of regular shiitake mushrooms. The garlic flavor was divine! From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was incredibly delicious. The service was friendly and informative, making the experience enjoyable even for a French cuisine novice. I'm eager to bring friends and acquaintances here in the future! ◎ My order - Three-course amuse-bouche - Kintokito pig pizza - Clams escabeche - Rillette - Homemade brioche - Compressed octopus terrine - Roasted Naruto lotus root with homemade bacon - Braised Ezo deer tongue pané - Shiitake mushroom ajillo - Roasted New Zealand Suffolk lamb - Gateau chocolat - Sparkling wine - Red wine"
