Okazaki, Aichi, Japan｜マルズ

I went there because I heard that it was delicious. I had heard that it was difficult to get a reservation, so I persevered and managed to make a reservation even though I couldn't get through on the phone. I was a little nervous when I visited, as there are quite a few shops that have a good reputation but are actually ``...'', but I was very satisfied with the results. This is the most impressive store I've been to in the last 10 years. I came to the restaurant without knowing that there was a two-drink system, so I was slightly shocked when I found out (I don't drink alcohol), but in the end, thanks to the two-drink system, I was able to enjoy my meal and conversation slowly. On the contrary, I'm glad. (I'm thankful that there are plenty of non-alcoholic options.) All the food we ordered was delicious. I love Italian food and have been to many different restaurants, but this one is by far the most delicious. The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt ``overseas (I've never been to Italy, so I'm only giving it a rough idea)''. It's clear that no compromises have been made with the ingredients, and the portions are quite large, so it feels like a good deal. Not only the food, but also the facade and interior are really elaborate, giving it an extraordinary feel. While there are some shops that are half-heartedly elaborate and look bad, it's so elaborate that you'll almost forget you're in Japan. I was impressed not only by the appearance, but also by the attention to detail, such as the towels, toilets, store cards, etc. all decorated with different scents. There are often dust on the light bulb umbrellas, but that was not the case, and everything was thoroughly cleaned and there was nothing that I felt was disappointing. I've never been to a store where I felt like this. Even if I go to a really nice restaurant, I end up thinking, ``It was delicious.'' But this time, I'm thinking, ``What should I order next?'' ``When December starts, I have to make reservations for January (I make reservations for the next month at the beginning of the month. It looks like the ban will be lifted)' and I'm thinking about the next time. I'm really glad I found a restaurant that I can look forward to.

The interior of the store has calming lighting. The owner wipes the plates lined up in front of you every day. The meals were plentiful and had a variety of flavors, so I was able to enjoy each meal with the wine. The friendly female owner also loves wine, so we had a lot of fun chatting! I want to go again.

One of the famous restaurants in Okazaki that is the most difficult to get reservations for. That's here at Mars. A variety of Italian dishes and wines provided by the manager, who has undergone training in Italy, will satisfy everyone who comes today. One thing to keep in mind is that the manager is in charge of the whole thing by himself, so it takes time to serve the food, but sometimes it's nice to enjoy slow cooking like this. As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to take reservations, but the main reason for this is that the restaurant is run by one person, so it is difficult to take calls during business hours. It is best to make a reservation by phone during off-hours, or by visiting in person. It's worth it. no doubt.
