Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan｜和風れすとらん・ベアー

Soup was great. The steak was great but what's worth noting is the vegetables are cooked perfectly

It seems to be a shop that is loved by locals, and depending on the time of day, it can get crowded. I use it at night while traveling. Since I was alone, I was guided to a counter seat. If you sit at the counter, you can enjoy talking with the staff, and they will also teach you how to prepare the food. The woman (wife?) at the store seems to be a solid person. The cheerful owner had apparently worked at a hotel restaurant when he was younger, so I thought he had solid skills, and from a service standpoint, I was completely satisfied with his customer service. The young cook (son?) had some harsh comments about the owner, and the conversation between the three was exquisite, and it was very enjoyable and soothing to listen to. The king salmon and blue cheese with honey were also delicious. The shrimp in the fried shrimp were large and had a rich flavor, just like spiny lobster. The rice seemed to be very particular about the rice, and it was very delicious. In terms of Japanese Western food, I thought it was better quality than the famous long-established Western food restaurants in Tokyo. The conversation between the regular customers sitting at the counter and the owner gave a relaxed atmosphere that conveyed the quality of this restaurant. If you ever visit Minamikusatsu again, this is a shop you should definitely visit.

Visited while traveling. It was past 12:30 on weekdays, but I entered the store smoothly. The introducer said "everything is delicious", but I decided to get the same thing. I ordered "Crab cream croquette, cheese hamburger set meal". First came the salad. The sour dressing that seems to be homemade is delicious. This is a run-up where you can expect cooking. Soup arrived. "Onion soup" that really scared me. The umami of crustaceans spreads throughout your mouth, and the sweetness of onions wraps you in a soup that changes your sense of values. Main crab cream and cheese hamburger. The crab cream croquette was just bite and got a burn on the upper jaw. Of course it's ready. I tried with determination. The cheese hamburger is also covered with cheese, so you can enjoy the flavor of the meat instead of the juice. It's really delicious. lose vocabulary.
