貴船
ミシュラン二つ星の日本料理店。 季節ごとの食材を華やかに盛り付けた料理は、目でも舌でも楽しむことが出来る。 主人の中川氏は非常に研究熱心で、絶えず日本中を食べ歩き、良いアイデアや料理法などを自分の料理に取り込んでいる。 石川県を中心とした北陸地方の季節の味が美しく盛られた一皿である「盛り込み」は、何が供されるのか楽しみな逸品だ。 「鮑と氷見うどんの肝みそ和え」は、じっくり3時間蒸した鮑の身と肝、そしてバターを氷見うどんと和えており、ほろ苦い肝のソースが秀逸、日本酒が欲しくなる。 料理はコースのみだが、ランチは2,500円から、ディナーは5,000円からと、非常にリーズナブルというか安すぎる価格設定となっている。 人気がある上に、ランチ4組、ディナー4組しかお客を受け付けていないので、当然のごとくほぼ予約が取れない。 浅野川沿いの古民家をリノベーションした店は、和の雰囲気に満ちている。 また個室のみなのでゆったりと食事が楽しめるのも良い。 特に2階は川を眺めることも出来る特等席だ。 店主と女将の接客は温かく感じが良い。
