Gifu, Japan｜敦煌

I quickly visited Dunhuang, which I had been interested in for a long time, with my left foot as soon as it opened. Then, there was already a group of customers ahead of me. I took off my shoes and went up. The exterior and interior of the restaurant were so clean that I couldn't believe it was the tenant's Chinese restaurant. There are counter seats and table seats. I was alone and sat on the far right side of the counter. I'm thankful that it has a horigotatsu. Apparently, lunch is only a daily bento box. However, it was enough for me to enjoy one Chinese dish, a well-made stew, fresh sashimi, and piping hot chawan mushi. As proof of this, customers kept coming in one after another. A restaurant where you can enjoy Japanese and Chinese food, run by a chef-like owner and a proprietress who never stops smiling. good. When I was paying with PayPay, the hostess said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting," and I replied, "No, it was very delicious. Next time, I'll come in the evening." I replied, "We'll have Chinese food in the evening." He smiled. Behind him, the strong-looking general smiled shyly and nodded. I am happy to have found a nice restaurant. (2023_11_20)

〓❖　Kakamigahara/Dunhuang　❖〓 The store is located in Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture. It is written as "Dunhuang" and pronounced as "tonkou". Dunhuang is the name of a city in northwestern China, and is said to have once flourished as an oasis on the Silk Road. The movie "Dunhuang" was shown in 1988, so this store's name made me feel nostalgic and resonated with me. Thirty-five years ago...at the height of the bubble economy, Toshiyuki Nishida and Koichi Sato appeared in this movie, and the images of the Silk Road and Dunhuang still remain in my memory. I felt nostalgic and was fascinated by the exterior of the store. I joined ``WA・Naka・Bus Dunhuang''. The store is located on the south side of the Meitetsu line... It's not on the main road...it's on the first floor of an apartment building that's more of a way out for locals. Judging from the store's exterior, it has a nice atmosphere and looks like a place where you can enjoy Chinese food for adults. The store name too It says "WA/Naka/Bus", so It seems like each piece has a meaning, and I can feel the care and delicacy of each piece. 〓❖　Atmosphere inside the store〓❖〓 When you enter Dunhuang-san's entrance, there is a ``small rise''. Take off your shoes and enter the store... This place reminds me of the Chinese restaurant "Mumeijuku" that used to be located in the back alley of a residential area in Nakagawa Ward, Nagoya City. plank flooring 4 wooden tables There are 6 seats at the counter, and you can take off your shoes, so it feels very relaxing and homey... Indirect lighting creates an even more calming atmosphere. The restaurant is run by two people: the owner who cooks in the kitchen behind the counter, and the hostess who serves customers.It seems busy when it's full, but since it's a restaurant frequented by locals, please feel free to talk to them in a friendly manner. He gave it to me. 〓❖　Stable Chinese food without any weirdness　❖〓 At Dunhuang, many of the dishes served are standard Chinese dishes. It's like providing a stable taste without going crazy. What I ordered was Gomoku fried rice Chinjao loin (green pepper meat) Homemade shumai with scallops three of The Gomoku fried rice was fluffy and lightly oiled, and the flavor of the egg and meat ingredients spread softly in the mouth and was very delicious. Chinjao loin has crunchy vegetables and the perfect amount of salt◎ The scallop shumai is cooked in a steamer and delivered straight to the table. When you eat it marinated in black vinegar, the juiciness of the bean paste and the flavor of the black vinegar match each bite, making you satisfied.

I went to WA/Naka/Bou ``Dunhuang''. It's not a typical Chinese restaurant, but the arrangement was effective. I love the refined flavors. Also on the signboard It says "WA/Naka/Fusa" so it's not a sticky Chinese restaurant. The gyoza contains shiso and is refreshing! You can eat as much as you want. The shrimp mayo was plump and there was a tobiko in the aurora sauce, and every time I bit into it, the bubbles of the tobi combined to make it delicious. The Chinese rice was delicious with a gentle seasoning and a savory bean paste wrapped around the sweetness of the vegetables. The shrimp and cheese spring rolls are crispy and crispy so be careful not to get burned. The fried chicken is crispy with star anise and has an irresistible aroma. No matter what I eat, it's delicious, so I always get confused. There is also a parking lot, which is convenient if you go by car. The food is prepared by the master himself, and it can get crowded at times, so it's best for people who want to enjoy each dish while waiting.
