アトリエ ハナイットキ (Atelier Hanaittoki) in Sendai

Himatsubushi-zen, literally “Killing-time set” (1,100 yen)
※This is a special lunch set, so you need to order it in advance by phone…

～Eel～
It has a fluffy texture. Its gentle sweetness and savory made me feel so good.

Lightly flavored rice enhanced the eel’s aroma.

The eel caught in Mikasa Bay, Aichi is rarely seen. Very precious!

～Fuki (Japanese butterbur)～
Giant fuki were simmered in konbu dashi (kelp broth)

Right after you bit fuki, umami from itself and kelp spread through my mouth!

Shijimi clam miso soup
The soup has a gentle, smooth texture. I enjoyed the umami from lightly-flavored miso and shijimi clam.

The chef told me that the salt reduced miso was homemade.

Coffee (400 yen or 300 yen when you order a lunch dish)
When I complimented the female chef on the flower displayed at the table, she asked me to take a photo of the coffee together with the flower, so I did it.

The interior at the café
The café provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by woods, plants, and flowers.

Herb tea
I had a lively conversation with the chef so I ordered another drink.

‘Please take a photo of the tea together with the flower over there’

She brought another flower on the table, so I did it.

Menu
Each dish on the menu looks very delicious. I’m going to order a spaghetti with meat sauce or a curry next time.

I was satisfied with not only my appetite but also my mind, by having a nice chat with the cheerful and friendly female chef.

Atelier Hanaittoki is a hideaway café situated in the first floor of the private house.
