3.PARLOR Koyaji in Matsubara is a wine tavern with cute furniture and vessels.
It is located along a street that is quiet at night, even though it is in the middle of the city. Keiichi Miyazaki loved this serene location and opened his own restaurant. After five years of experience at a French restaurant in his hometown of Gifu and more than 10 years at Gojyuka Group restaurants such as Gojyumatsu, he finally achieved his long-cherished dream of becoming an independent chef. The theme of the restaurant is a wine tavern, and there is a full lineup of dishes that go perfectly with alcoholic beverages. The originality of the dishes, such as shumai and kiriboshi-daikon (dried radish) with an Italian taste, are very enjoyable.
Duck cutlet - with red wine Worcestershire sauce - 1,200 yen. Unusual for a duck dish, the cutlet is cooked at low temperature and fried crispy at high temperature. The sauce is light to match the duck meat.
