Ristorante Honda

The Reasons Why I Recommend.
I studied Japanese-style food with a unique arrangement. We take ingredients that meet the season's most seasonal time in the land, and finish it into "Kaishi-style Italian" where you can enjoy various dishes in small quantities. "I think that my cooking starts with pasta and ends with pasta," said the chef, who recommended pasta. There is also an extensive wine list that complements Kataoka's cuisine.

The Reasons Why I Recommend.
Commitment to the flavor of buckwheat flour ground with homemade flour, commitment to the timing of boiling, commitment to not only buckwheat but also single dishes. Anyway, it is a well-known store that offers the best soba noodles with a focus on everything.

The Reasons Why I Recommend.
It's a restaurant that I've been visiting since before independence and became interested in Japanese food. I recommend the pike conger and matsutake mushroom dishes, but besides cooking, the usage of the vessel is excellent, and there are many places that impress me, so I am always impressed.

The Reasons Why I Recommend.
I think that sushi has a taste that only the craftsman can give, depending on the way it is gripped and the touch, but for me, the sushi that Mr. Saito holds is the best because of its stability and high quality. Reigns in your favorites.

It is the shop of Chef Ishikawa, who is also my teacher and a big senior. "Amore, Cantale, Mangiare" is a shop where you can really feel Italy, and it reminds you of the times you spent in Italy. A place of my peace (laughs).

[Joel Robuchon] Former chef Watanabe's restaurant. Based on the experience cultivated so far and the techniques of French cuisine that you are familiar with, you can enjoy delicious dishes expressed with Japanese sensibility.

When I first ate the pork cutlet that was deep-fried at low temperature, I was shocked. Anyway, the condition of the fire is excellent, and you can usually eat a gem that makes a difference.

The legendary craftsman Saotome-san's tempura, which has matured the tempura culture, is a gem that you should eat at least once. The deliciousness of conger eel tempura is really amazing.

I like the place where Iizuka's love for food and ingredients can be felt, and the food with a sense of stability based on the basics. Using Japanese techniques, you can eat really delicious French food. I especially recommend the place where the taste is sharp.
