Aroma, texture, and taste are all GOOD!

Hello. I am the PR person in charge of the Matsumoto Ekimae branch of Rakuzo Utage.

There are many things that make a dish delicious, but aroma and texture are one of the most important aspects of deliciousness. In this issue, we would like to introduce you to a popular menu item that has the perfect triple combination of aroma, texture, and taste. Please take a look at them for reference when ordering.

 

The taste is classic, but you will never get tired of eating it.

Everyone has probably had this dish at least once. The "squid seared with sweet and spicy sauce" is a menu item that is so standard that even if you eat it over and over again, you will never get tired of eating it. It smells so good while it is being seared that even the cooks say it makes them hungry. Squid tends to become tough if it is overcooked, but since the highly skilled chefs are in charge of searing, you can enjoy its tenderness and firmness. The more you bite into the squid, the more you will enjoy its delicious flavor.

The taste, which reminds us of nostalgic summer festivals, is popular among all generations and genders. A perfectly chilled draft beer makes for a great time.

 

New menu items recently added to the menu

A menu item that has just been added to the menu and is rapidly gaining popularity is the "Rice with Mokimimi and Garland Chrysanthemum Ankake". The aroma of the ankake dashi is very good, and the crunchy texture of the wood ear can be enjoyed in this recommended rice dish. Although wood ear is often used as a supporting ingredient in dishes, we have chosen to use it as the main ingredient in this menu. The impact of its black appearance is also a topic of conversation. Please give it a try.
