    水の味がよくないのが玉に瑕だったが、久しぶりのランチには、柑橘類のかすかに匂う爽やかな水が出されてきた。ポルチーニとたらこのパスタは、ポルチーニたっぷりで香り濃厚、たらこ臭さは全く感じられなかった。時間がなかったので、新リゾットは次回に来たときに。隣から香りが流れてきたセロリのパスタも…。

    Chiba Kashiwa-shi Tsukushigaoka 4-2-3
    This Western confectionary shop is highly selective about the ingredients it uses. The eggs it uses are fresh-laid and delivered straight from the farm; its butter is shipped via refrigerated containers from Hokkaido. The whipped cream for the shop's delightfully milky shortcake is also stocked from Hokkaido, while the whipped cream used for the shop's mousses comes from Kyushu. Particularly popular products include the Opera shortcake, the origin of the establishment's name; the Crunch Chocolat; and the Cream D'anjou.

    ケーキのバイキングをしていることで大変有名なお店ですが、本当に有名なのは柏で一番美味しいと言われてるケーキ屋さんだということだと思いますが、個人的にはケーキより若干休みのシュークリームが大変好きで革の焼き具合とか中のクリームとかとても美味しいです。

    This ramen restaurant pays particular attention to its broths. The restaurant can be identified by its red awning with white print . The awning's sign touts the restaurant's original tsukemen dipping noodles, and indeed these noodles are the restaurant's most popular dish. The restaurant's tsukemen consists of springy and thick crimped noodles, and a dipping broth which balances acidity and viscosity. Varieties include the Futsu Mori regular order noodles garnished with chashu roast pork filets and menma fermented bamboo shoots; the Zenbu mori, which is garnished with just about every topping available; and the Tantan Tsukemen noodles, which are served with a spicy and meaty miso dipping broth. The restaurant also serves a full array of sides, and also offers chashu donburi rice bowls and appetizer combos.

    あの「東池袋 大勝軒」の暖簾分け、と期待大だと 少しがっかりするかも。 ただし、評価は人によります。 特徴としては、自家製麺ではなく『浅草開化楼』の麺を使用してるところ。 つけ麺押しですが、中華そばもあります。 私は個人的に汁ありの方が好きだな。
