Kashiwazaki, Niigata, Japan｜kitchen 105

Such a stylish restaurant in such a rural area! Each and every ingredient in the food is rich in flavor, and the appetizers will grab your attention. The duck is exquisite. The course dishes go perfectly with Abe Sake Brewery's refreshing and easy-drinking sake. It's a nice shop where you can feel comfortable and enjoy chatting with the friendly owner. Outside the window, you can see a beautiful rural landscape that changes its appearance depending on the season, and the contrast with the blue sky and sunset is heartwarming.

Lunch was course only, but it wasn't a pretentious restaurant, and the interior was casual and comfortable. Also, the customer service from the staff was wonderful. The food was seasoned so that you could enjoy the taste and flavor of the ingredients, and everything from appetizers to desserts was delicious.

This is my second visit. Last time it was lunch, this time it was dinner. Duck meat is very delicious. I felt the attention to detail in each and every material. I'll come back later!
