Zushi, Kanagawa, Japan｜Bistro TAKURO

Fresh and delicious! I will definitely be coming here again. The salad was crisp and full of flavor, game meat (venison, duck, wild boar) was all tender and mild, the desert was spot on brown sugar ice cream and a small creme brulee so sweet and balanced! My only comment is there was a noticeable cigarette smell when I first entered.

I went there with my boyfriend on Friday night. Very close to the station and cozy place. We tried game meet, deer, duck and boar. I thought they would smell but didn't at all. The meat was soft and good taste. By the time we left, the restaurant was full of customers.

Celebrated the end of SOE with a slightly late dinner at 8PM on a Friday night. Sadly, we were the only ones the whole time and the chef really deserves more credit. I had walked by Bistro TAKURO multiple times and always been curious, was not disappointed. We had the gnocchi, the sampler platter of game meats (venison, boar, duck) with Miura veggies, the foie gras with potato medallions, and the octopus and mushroom ajillo. The latter dish could have used more spice IMHO and the foie gras had me wanting a little more, but the platter and gnocchi were especially satisfying. We ordered an extra plate of baguettes to clean up the gnocchi sauce and get some extra carbs in. Altogether, it was under ¥6,500 for two adults. The game meats are domestic and the veg are local (Miura). A good selection of wines and the menu seems to rotate with seasonal dishes, definitely worth a visit. The menu is in remarkably good English - you can just tell the chef man takes pride in his restaurant and I commend his efforts.
