"Bolognese" combining the umami of Wagyu beef with the sweetness of aromatic vegetables

Special "Bolognese" with Deep Flavor from Coarsely Ground Meat, Including Wagyu

The owner spends considerable time preparing the "Bolognese." The sauce begins with onions, carrots, and celery, along with garlic, ginger, and plenty of mushrooms, and is slowly simmered until the gentle sweetness of the vegetables and the aromas of the aromatics blend together. A generous amount of coarsely ground meat with Wagyu is added, concentrating the meat's juicy savoriness and roasted aroma into the rich sauce. It clings well to the chewy fresh spaghetti, bringing together the flavors of the meat, vegetables, and mushrooms. The lengthy preparation creates deep richness and the full flavors of the ingredients in a dish the restaurant takes particular pride in.

• 

  Chewy Fresh Pasta That Holds Sauce Well

  Fresh pasta made with durum wheat semolina is prepared to order, with a distinctive chewy texture and a rich wheat aroma that develops with each bite. Its texture is designed to pair well with sauces, including the rich "Bolognese" and sauces loaded with ingredients. Compared with dried pasta, it has a smoother mouthfeel and springier texture.

• 

  A Special Sauce Made with Time and Care for Deeper Flavor

  Rather than relying on the ingredients alone, the sauce develops its flavor through a time-intensive preparation process. Onions and other vegetables are slowly sautéed to draw out their sweetness and savoriness, then combined with plenty of tomatoes and meat. Subtle seasonings and the restaurant's own techniques add depth, and the mixture is slowly simmered until the flavors of the ingredients meld into a rich, full-bodied sauce.
