Kawaguchi, Saitama, Japan｜ふぇるじなんど

Wonderful restaurant that i will miss now that I’ve returned to Canada. The owner is an excellent cook that studied in Spain so anyone lacking in Japanese but able to speak Spanish will be in luck. Not only is the food excellent but the restaurant is itself a work of art. They have lots of nice things for sale too.

I found an interesting building diagonally across from Aeon Mall Kawaguchi Maekawa. From the outside, it has an unusual appearance, more like an event-related facility or a kindergarten than a restaurant. When I looked into it, it turned out to be a Spanish restaurant. I was curious if there was a Spanish restaurant in a place like this, so I decided to visit it during lunch time on a weekday. When I visited after 12:00, the parking lot on the first floor of the store was almost full. There's also a parking lot in front of the store, so it feels like it's more spacious, but since it was raining, I thought it would be better to stay closer, so I managed to park in the narrow parking lot. When you go up the stairs to the second floor and enter the store, you will see a lot of beautiful plates, cups, and Spanish accessories from the miscellaneous goods store. I thought they were selling things, but some of them were for sale, but some of them were decorations for the shop, which made it look quite fun. Today's lunch menu is A: Paella, B: Risotto, C: Domingo, and D: Gratin, but I really want to eat paella. However, since I was working from home that day, I had to be back on time, so I asked the store clerk, ``Will it take a while?'' and she said, ``I can have it right away.'' Is it made in advance? I thought it was ok and ordered the paella from set A. Gazpacho, a cold Spanish soup, arrived first. To be honest, this is my first time drinking gazpacho, but I personally don't like tomato soup and have a stereotype that soup should be hot, so I was a little skeptical about it, but my companion seems to really like gazpacho. I was happy to drink it. Then the paella arrives in a few minutes. The paella is served on a piping hot round iron plate, but since it is not browned, it seems like they make a large quantity and then serve it on the iron plate later. This might be the right answer for lunch time. There are many ingredients such as clams, squid, paprika, green beans, and mussels. The rice has a good flavor and is slightly hard, which is also nice. The portion is a bit unsatisfactory for men, but at this price and this deliciousness, it's enough to satisfy. Just when I thought that was the end, they also made dessert and drinks. I ordered ice cream for dessert and iced tea for my drink. This time I visited during lunch time, but next time I would like to visit at night and enjoy various Spanish dishes while drinking wine.

It's a Spanish restaurant. Every dish is delicious♪ The bread is unique and chewy, and it's delicious when you eat it with the sauce of the dish! Since we visited on a weekday, a group of people came to the store after work. It seems to be crowded with families on weekends. Chef owner? seems to have visited Spain multiple times, and there were quite a few photo albums. Decorations and cups were displayed in the store, and they were also sold. It was a shop that I was told by an acquaintance, but it has become a repeat shop.
