Last fall, a new restaurant opened in the Shin-Omiya Shopping Arcade, which is bustling with locals, offering Western cuisine based on Spanish cuisine mixed with French. The owner, Hiroki Ioka, is the master of the restaurant. Hiroki Ioka, the owner of the restaurant, says, "I opened the restaurant far from the city center so that local people can enjoy the cuisine at a leisurely pace. I had the longest experience at a Spanish restaurant, so I serve creative Western cuisine with the essence of Spanish cuisine. The restaurant is by reservation only, but children are welcome at lunch time. I am now a father myself, so I hope people of child-rearing age can enjoy the restaurant as well," he says.

The cuisine uses mainly suburban ingredients such as seafood from Wakayama Prefecture, pork from Gojo in Nara, and vegetables from Yamada Farm in Fushimi. These carefully selected ingredients are transformed into dishes that make full use of the ingredients and his skills, such as terrine of Kyoto duck, which he prepared with his experience at a charcuterie restaurant, and Spanish risotto with kujo leeks, which he made with Kyoto's unique flavor based on his experience at a Spanish restaurant.

I want to offer dishes that bring out the potential of the ingredients," he says. Both lunch and dinner courses are left to the chef's discretion, starting at 3,000 yen for lunch and 8,000 yen for dinner.

All photos are examples of the 8,000 yen dinner course. Thinned Carrots with Brie Cheese is a dish of grilled carrots with Brie cheese. Accented with black olive crumble.
