[En] where you can enjoy classical French cuisine opens in Okazaki

October 01, 2021 open

The location is along the Sosui Canal in Okazaki, which is perfect for a stroll. After more than three years of searching for the ideal property, owner-chef Higashino-san says he fell in love with the 100-year-old house at first sight, with natural light coming in from both the front and the courtyard.

The opening was delayed due to the Corona disaster, but we had time to think about what we really wanted to do. For lunch, we're doing a mini-course menu so that people can relax after viewing the art. In the evening, we serve classic French dishes such as choucroute and bacon, sausage and lentil stew, and cheese quiche a la carte. Rather than a special anniversary occasion, I would like people to stop by casually at dusk when they want to go out for a drink.

Beef loin carpaccio from Enen

Beef loin carpaccio for 2,800 yen. Sherry vinegar-based sauce with oyster sauce as a secret ingredient. Accented with the bitterness of cervachico.

The lunch, which is full of seasonal vegetables, has been well received and is often full to capacity. Many of the vegetables come from farmers we know or from relatives, so we want to use them carefully. For example, on a day when we get a lot of arugula, I try to cook it while taking its flavor into consideration, to find the best way to enjoy it.
Focusing only on the deliciousness of the food without unnecessary decoration on the plate. Enjoy the honest French cuisine that reflects the chef's personality.
