French cuisine created with a free spirit at wavie in Hanazono

November 29, 2024 open

wavie" (Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) was opened by Kazuyoshi Tamura, who honed his skills at a famous French restaurant in Osaka and was appointed head chef at a Kyoto hotel, and his wife. The restaurant, housed in a Meiji-era row house, is a modern space where the old and new are in harmony, with the walls decorated with tiles from that era and the old pillars restored as objets d'art.

wavie Amuse

All dishes start at 16,500 yen for dinner. An example of an amuse. Deep-fried wakasagi, pomelo, rape blossoms, root celery paste, and other ingredients are wrapped in a green tea crepe. The harmony created by the novel combination is magnificent!

The dishes here are creative French cuisine that Tamura says, "I am conscious of creating new tastes by combining unexpected ingredients. The dishes are completed by drawing out the individuality of a variety of ingredients, such as the amuse, which incorporates Japanese flavors like matcha green tea. For the evening's main course, a whole Kameoka Nanaya duck is purchased and aged for two weeks to enhance its flavor, and the bones are used in the broth.

wavie Main dish

The main dish is duck meat that has been aged and grilled over charcoal with a sauce made from duck broth and cassis. The chicory is layered with minced duck in a mille-feuille pattern, a dish filled with the deliciousness of duck meat. The drink is a mocktail of pomegranate and Japanese persimmon leaves with spices. It is said to be inspired by light red wine.

Not only the utensils but also cutlery such as steak knives are the work of the artist, and one can sense his strong desire to make the food more palatable. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of classic wines and non-alcoholic cocktails that go well with the dishes.
