Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan｜Jizaiya

A hidden gem run by Mr Tanaka for almost 30 years as a one man show. He speaks a bit of English in case foreigners like I stumble in, and how fortunate we are to experience his fantastic cooking. You must try his beef and mushroom oyster sauce pasta and his fried mushrooms fritters. Overall his taste is a perfect fusion of Japanese and Italian trattoria cooking. The ambience is small and cosy, clearly mostly for longtime regulars who love his cooking， which speaks to his quality and skill. Price wise it is very fair and great value for money, with huge home style servings. Perhaps 2 pastas can easily feed 3 people. I wish him the best!

I got the octopus peperoncino. It had a lot of garlic and was very delicious. The price is surprisingly low at 950 yen including salad and soup. Additionally, drinks and seasonal desserts are available for 250 yen. The photo shows a seasonal dessert (grape mousse), which costs 250 yen! The menu has quite a variety of pasta, but it also has a wide variety of open dishes such as pizza and gratin, rice dishes, and side dishes. I was able to look forward to coming to Motosumiyoshi✨

I used it for dinner with a friend. It was my first visit, but it's a nostalgic and friendly Italian restaurant. The owner's personality and taste are perfect💯 The rice croquette was probably the most delicious I have ever eaten! Cospa is the best!! ️ It's a shop that you definitely want to visit again😋
