Yamazaki

Great service with attitude - owner chef was entertaining me with interesting topics (good point about visiting high-end restaurant solo ;- ) carefully selected local ingredients are nicely executed, but not beyond expectations if you are experienced Japanese cuisine diner, however few dishes left me strong impression - 1: lightly smoked Sweet fish - the whole presentation (smoking with bamboo leaves in traditional fish carriage - see my picture) outside crispy, inside fluffy with its own oil and keeps it moist showing high technique and we'll executed. 2: white meat fish with fish stock jelly - plum source with wasabi. Jelly (umami) x sour x wasabi combination was quite complex flavor on meaty white fish was good thought about texture too. 3: Hida beef shabu shabu the fat is elegant - not greasy and very moist /soft meat - not common seen meat dish with Kaiseki style but it was not ruining the course and good attachment as aain dish 4: cray pot rice with Long hour boiled and one night aged eel fish - super loved this dish. Yes- everybody loves eel fish but this one was quite unique. It still keeps eel fish meaty flavor with it texture - not too soft nor too hard - right hardness to match with rice, rice absorbed fish broth was very aromatic and the burned crispy side was adding playful texture. Was super nice

During Golden Week, I was only able to make reservations for lunch. I ordered the best full course. It was as expected. All items were delicious! The performance was also good. They made various dishes in front of me. My 19-year-old son roasted bamboo shoots, peeled them, arranged them, and brought them to the table. When I ate it, it was so delicious! When I heard that parents and children were working hard together, it made me feel even better. A wonderful atmosphere, a delicate flavor, and a casual, rustic feel with a sense of elegance.
The hospitality was great 👍

I used to suffer from reflux esophagitis for almost a month.
Mr. Yamazaki, who invited me to the dinner party.

I politely declined, as I had no appetite and had lost 5 kg.
I received a kind response, saying, ``If you can't eat it, you'll be left with it.''
I asked him casually.

I was thinking of getting a few items, but...
Once you realize how natural and delicious it is, you can eat it all. . .
I will never forget that mysterious experience.

This is a famous restaurant in Toyama City that helped me recover.

The general is friendly and doesn't care about Michelin ratings.
However, he is a craftsman who is devoted to researching Japanese cuisine.
I could tell that you love Japanese cuisine.

It's easy to make a reservation if it's a weekday.
Good luck everyone!
