Kotoritoichigo Bistro

Seven seats only, a small casual yet elegant French bistro. Mr Kimura, the owner chef, used to work at a starred Michelin French restaurant, and started this bistro in Oct 2020. Many traditional French dishes with local ingredients. Good wine selection too. Credit card accepted.

What a counter bistro in Kamata!
A very happy shop

It's small and small.
Has a live feel

Pie-based meat-based pasta
Enjoy various genres
Wine from glass to bottle
Wide range of lineup

No wonder there are so many customers.

A restaurant that is irresistible for drinkers.
I was able to go to an adult store in Kamata!

A hidden French bistro located on Bourbon Road near the west exit of Kamata Station.
There are only 8 seats at the counter, so I made a reservation in advance.
It's a store I've been interested in for a while.

The interior of the restaurant has cute wallpaper and chandeliers, and it's fun to watch the food being prepared right in front of you!

Anyway, the menu lineup is so interesting that I want to try it all.
Here is the menu that I chose with that in mind.

▪︎Fig, walnut and gorgonzola pie
The crispy pie crust is filled with figs and walnuts.
And there's no way the sweetness of honey wouldn't go well with Gorgonzola.
Wine starts with appetizers.

▪︎Flounder and sweet summer carpaccio style
Carpaccio looks bright and beautiful.
It's refreshing to eat sweet summer and flounder together! !
I was surprised that the flounder was thick and there was a good amount of it.

▪︎Snow crab and scallop pie wrapped
The moment I saw the menu, I knew I wanted to try this dish.
I never thought I would be able to eat baked pie wraps outside of the course meal.
The crispy, buttery pie is filled with snow crab and scallops.
You should definitely order this! !

▪︎Wagyu beef tartare
I had ordered meat as a main course, but I really wanted to try it so I added more.
It's rich with a bit of spicy taste.
It was the perfect accompaniment to red wine.

▪︎Roasted Magrecanal duck, dark cherry sauce
I love the combination of duck and cherry.
They separated it out and then served it to me!
The large duck meat is tender and juicy.
It was really big and each person had two pieces, so I was full.

▪︎Drink
We have a wide selection of wines by the glass, from sparkling to red, white, rosé, and orange.
I'm glad you can choose according to your cuisine and preferences.

Overall, everything I ate was delicious, and the portions were large, so the cost performance was also very good!
It was so delicious that I really wanted to conquer the whole menu, and there were only a few items I was interested in, so I will definitely be repeating and conquering the menu.

Both the food and drinks are made with the utmost care from the staff.
The fruit appetizers are especially impressive, and the balance of sweetness and sourness makes you feel happy the moment you eat them (no photos of the dishes)

The main course, the quail, not only went well with the meat and sauce, but the synergistic effect of pairing it with the wine recommended by the waiter was amazing.
The staff is very friendly and when you ask about food or drinks, they will tell you with a smile and you will have a great time. However, when you are busy, it is important to get some fresh air.

Since this is a popular restaurant, we recommend making reservations in advance. You can check the store availability information on Instagram.

About the food in the photo
The menu may be different from the current menu as I have visited the restaurant several times and have adjusted accordingly.

I would like to recommend it to adult women! A shop that is sure to kill you🥹

The third place I visited for Kamata drinking the other day was
Known as a deep bar district located at the west exit of Kamata
Kotori to Ichigo is located on Bourbon Road.

It doesn't suit the atmosphere of Kamata in a good way 😂

▶︎“Homemade ricotta cheese and
Semi-dried tomato tartine

It's Amuse with a stylish sound
This is a masterpiece that you provided✨

We can't help but shout, So cute!

Homemade ricotta cheese is rich and refreshing.
Semi-dried tomatoes are packed with flavor and sweetness!
There's a crispy French bread rusk there.
It was so delicious I was so impressed 🥺

The little leaves on top are not mint,
Apparently it's a rare sunflower sprout!

When you eat it, it tastes fluffy and slightly nutty.
It smells sweet and makes me feel good ☺️

▶︎“White asparagus hollandaise sauce”

Although I was really full,
I found seasonal white asparagus!

White asparagus steamed on the spot,
The chef carefully whisked it to create a creamy texture.
Sauce made with butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice
They put a lot of it on me and I eat it🙏

I made hollandaise sauce at home a long time ago.
It's true, but the taste is on a different level!
I think normally you just use the egg yolk,
I wonder if they also use egg whites here?
It was fluffy and delicious💓

By the way, the one in the photo is 1/2 serving!
From the beginning, divide it into half for your friend.
I'm so happy that they provided this to me!

In other words, the amount of sauce is too luxurious 🥹! !

▶︎Finally

The interior of the store is decorated with cute wallpaper and chandeliers.
It seems sturdy and has good balance.
It's a wonderful shop with very good seasoning!

The chef is very kind and we work together at the restaurant.
The woman (wife? assistant?) was also very nice.
Overturning the image of French cuisine in a good way
A cozy and convenient bistro bar ❤️

It was a wonderful shop, so I definitely want to go there again! !
And next time I'd like to try more things.

Thank you for the meal🙏
