Sumibi Kappo Jyu-Jyu is a small, reservation-only restaurant
in the quiet alleys of Nishi-Azabu.
Enjoy seasonal Japanese cuisine prepared over charcoal,
served with warmth and elegance.
We visited "Charcoal Fire Kappou Jyu Jyu" in Nishi-Azabu. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy Japanese-French kappo cuisine that makes the most of the charcoal fire. This time, we sat at the counter and enjoyed a course.
First, we started with an appetizer of grilled water octopus on a tree. Soft and fluffy, it is a perfect match with the gentle broth.
The kintoki carrot steak was served with mascarpone and gruyere cheese, and had a simple but deep flavor.
The sashimi was cold yellowtail and kombu-shime isaki. The combination of fresh nori jelly and salted salmon roe was impressive.
The charcoal-grilled dishes were all excellent. The Satsuma Junzen Chicken Wrapped Peach was moist and juicy, and the Ebiimo with Kumquat Miso had a good balance of sweet and sour flavors. Tempura included seasonal ingredients such as butterbur sprouts and fried lotus root and shrimp sandwiched between two pieces of lotus root.
Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) was filled with luxurious ingredients such as scallops, snow crab, and ginkgo nuts, which went well with the ginkgo bean paste.
The char-grilled Spanish mackerel and Shizuoka eel kuttebayaki were finished with a fragrant skin and a strong charcoal aroma.
The main course of A5 Wagyu beef was accented with fresh Cambodian pepper, which enhanced the flavor of the meat.
The ramen to close the meal was of specialty restaurant level perfection.
The shellfish broth was so rich and satisfying that it was hard to believe it was the last dish of the course.
The dessert of Iyokan yokan was also refreshing and enjoyable to the end.
The restaurant's charcoal-grilled dishes, which make the most of the quality of the ingredients, are very attractive. The attentive service at the counter is also pleasant and perfect for a special occasion meal. I would like to revisit.
