Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜Mitsuwa

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the creative Japanese restaurants that represent the area. This was my second visit, and I made a reservation in advance for the "Spring Kiwami Course." There were about 7 dishes, making the most of spring ingredients, and served fresh fish such as ``black throat sea bream, golden sea bream, fugu, and sea urchin,'' as well as abalone and Matsuzaka beef steak.It was beautiful to look at, and the ultimate in eating. I was able to enjoy the taste. They were able to get a glimpse of the craftsmanship of the many dishes that they wouldn't normally be able to taste, as if savoring each bite, and it seems that they were given a boost of energy for their daily lives. Although I can't afford it often, I would like to visit again in a different season. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 2022.10 Revisited - Extreme course - A number of ultimate dishes that make use of autumn ingredients. The flavor of matsutake mushrooms is unparalleled, and all of the fugu dishes, from sashimi to tender pieces, are exquisite! Overflowing with creativity, the Chateaubriand sea urchin dressing is sure to impress. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 2023.10 revisited for the third time. The dishes are beautifully presented on bowls designed with autumn leaves, and are both beautiful to look at and exquisite to eat! The flavor of the matsutake mushrooms is outstanding, and even the grilled eel that comes with the grilled matsutake mushrooms and every single piece of sashimi are delicious like no other! When it comes to shabu-shabu made with fugu, the special taste of matsutake mushrooms can be said to be the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine. The matsutake mushroom rice at the end, combined with the delicacy of mullet roe, and the fugu pork porridge, all made for a meal that seemed like something out of a dream. Enjoy special Japanese food on a special day! This is a store that accomplishes that perfectly.

I ordered the 10,000 yen course, and it was very delicious and I was very satisfied with the content. I ordered sake, and the choko served was seasonal, so I had a good time. The room was a private room, but it was nice that the entrance and toilet were separate so you didn't have to fight with other guests.

For my birthday, I received a dish filled with my favorite crab. I was given a private room, but since I like the counter, I asked for a change, and they happily accommodated me. A crab swimming in the fish tank in front of me. It was landed at Tsuiyama Port and is very splendid. I was able to enjoy crab to my heart's content. In addition, the sukiyaki with truffles sprinkled right in front of me was also very delicious. I would like to visit you again on a special day.
