Asago, Hyogo, Japan｜芒種

Its a quite sophisticated restaurant using fresh organic materials. Beautiful atmosphere too. Should make a reservation ahead - but no English is spoken.. neither the menu is translated in English

Incredible seasonal food prepared by a skillful cheff. The garden view is a perfect compliment to the meal. Call ahead and make a reservation as this is a popular place.

I visited around 11:30 just after opening on Saturday. I didn't make a reservation, but I got in. However, it seems that there were already reservations for about 4 groups in the near time, so I was lucky to be able to enter immediately. Lunch was a course format, with a choice of two main dishes and a common appetizer. The main of the day was temari sushi or curry. The appetizer was a single plate, and it used a variety of seasonal vegetables, and the appearance and taste were wonderful. The price was about 2500 yen per person. The area around the shop is a quiet residential area, and the shop is made using an old private house, making it very relaxing.
