Kawaguchi, Saitama, Japan｜Signpost

A great place to grab a tasty meal, and a couple tasty drinks. They've got beers from all around Japan, for any taste profile. Would recommend to any visitors.

This is a great shop if you are interested in Japanese wine. Please keep this in mind as you are managing the business by yourself.

This is my first visit to this store in 3 years. I made a reservation and visited at 7pm on a holiday. It's located on the second floor of a building in the corner of Itsuki Mall, about a 5-minute walk from Kawaguchi Station. The first floor houses shops such as Kawaguchi Brewery, Estarica, and Hirai. If you visit at that time, the restaurant will be crowded with customers, and you will be shown to a table that seats four people and look at the menu. I should probably go with wine first, but since it was hot and sweaty that day, I decided to have draft beer. And here's what I ordered: ・Chicken white liver mousse and bevel cartilage ario olio (850 yen) ・Undeep, walnut, gorgonzola salad (1000 yen) ・French fried truffle & cheese (750 yen) ・Stewed beef tendon and tripe (1200 yen) All the dishes are delicious. When I told the owner of my preference to order a bottle of wine, he introduced me to four different wines, so I ordered Thomas Moret Burgundy and Chardonnay. It's a pretty good price. The chicken liver liver mousse is so delicious and the amount is so generous that when you dip it on a baguette and immediately take a sip of wine, the sweetness and slight bitterness mix together and the taste is indescribable. The endive salad leaves look like small Chinese cabbage leaves, but they have a very crunchy texture, and they taste great when topped with walnuts and gorgonzola. Two people were full with four different dishes. You might not have been able to eat much with two people, so if you came with four or more people, you might have been able to enjoy more of the dishes. This restaurant is on the second floor, so it doesn't really stand out, but the food is delicious, so customers come and go all the time, and it's always full. It's a little pricey, so it's hard to come here casually, but it's a nice place to come once in a while. =============== I visited on Saturday. The atmosphere inside the store is calm. You will be shown to a table, and first you will receive a limited-time champagne glass (500 yen). Now, order food. ・Nice-style salad (900 yen) Lots of vegetables, tuna, boiled eggs, and potatoes. I thought this amount would be too much for two people (lol), but it was so delicious that I ate it up in no time. ・Foie gras brûlée (900 yen) The bread is soft. Serve the bun with foie gras brûlée. The flavor is strong and mellow. ・Steamed mussels in white wine The mussels are soft and you can fully enjoy the flavor of the mussels. The delicious soup made with dashi is also delicious when eaten with baguette. ・Grape rump steak 300g 2400 yen → 2000 yen It takes about 40 minutes because it is cooked slowly. Well, the long-awaited arrival has arrived. The meat is tender, has a strong flavor, and is absolutely delicious. Perhaps because I was so full of wine, I ate a lot of meat. Anyway, all the food was delicious. It's located on the edge of a shopping street, and it's on the 2nd floor with two shops on the 1st floor, so it's hard to find, so it feels like a hidden gem. This is a store I will definitely visit again.
