Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan｜中ちょう倶楽部

This place is pricier than your average but the dining experience is way above average. I had a set with fish and steak and it was sublime. Just so worth it.

My husband and I stumbled across this charming restaurant shortly after eating elsewhere... We stopped in for desserts and regretted our full bellies as we watched the skillful chef prepare each course (of the prefixe menu) with care for the other diners. Both people working there were SO SO kind and were very friendly about my beginner's Japanese language practice. Our desserts were delicious. We look forward to bringing our appetite next time we're there!

Tonight, we had a course meal for ¥11,000/person at Nakacho Club to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Since we were driving, there was a coin parking lot right in front of us, but it was expensive, so we parked in the municipal underground parking lot. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and we ate on the second floor, where jazz was playing and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. There is a table for 4 people facing each other in the back, so the price is reasonable, but I thought it would be a good idea for families to come if it was an anniversary. All the dishes themselves were exquisite. After training at Ukai-tei, the chef has been working at his current location in Atsugi for 20 years, so I think this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Next time I would like to bring my parents.
