Ajiro - Hagi

Good: some dishes are superbly seasoned and delicious, including the deep fried Okoze fish and the stewed eggplant; some dishes served on historical pottery which really enhances the experience (server was very knowledgeable about Hagi pottery). Nice private rooms with tasteful decorations. Not great: uneven flavoring. In particular, the house ponzu is not good, lacking the citrus kick it should have (half the dishes are served with ponzu and suffer for it). Almost no alcohol selection. If alcohol pairing is important to you, stop reading right now and find a different place. The warm sake (one of only two sake selections on the menu) was probably a heated ozeki one-cup (not joking). Strange oversight for a place serving $100 kaiseki menus.

I was wondering, but it was good to decide it! The good thing is that the food service is fast and the quality of each dish is high. In terms of quality, it is exquisite taste that it is not suitable for the seasoning of ed fish. The point of concern is the price, but it appears in a set meal (a few small bowls, side dish, rice, miso soup, dessert) form, so I can not feel frustrated. It was a shop that I want to come.

In Hagi a jewel. Excellent seasonal local cuisine. Expensive for Hagi but half the price of Tokyo. English service challenging. Japanese language better.

Beautiful food in a beautiful setting, sitting with. NEw friends it was ice to have our own room and each course came just as we finished the last one, the service is excellent.

常連という程でも無いですが 約30年前から何かの記念日とか時々訪れるお店でした。 個人的には前のお店の方が品があり本当に料亭と言った感じで、とても好きでした。 今回久々訪れ、感じたのは接客の態度が 感じの良いものではありませんでした。 そして料理も… 最近は食べる前にスマホで写真を撮ることが多く2年前に撮った物と比べると前菜から何も変わった物が無く ウニもこだわりなのか、10数年前と変わらず生の物はなく 残念でした。 今回は天ぷらも火が通り過ぎた感じで 1番美味しく無かったのは ご飯でした。 家の冷ご飯を温めたような固まったご飯で 外食でこのようなご飯を食べた事はあまりないので、本当にがっかりしました。30年色々な思い出のあるお店でしたが 残念ながらもう訪れる事は無いでしょう。
