Signature pasta packed with the savory flavor of lamb and the aroma of porcini mushrooms

The House Specialty "Paccheri with Hokkaido Lamb and Porcini Ragù Sauce"

This specialty pasta starts with a whole lamb sourced from a contracted farm in Hokkaido and butchered in-house. The lamb is slowly cooked with porcini into a ragù sauce that concentrates the meat's robust yet refined savoriness and the mushrooms' rich aroma. It is paired with "paccheri," the large, tube-shaped pasta associated with Naples, whose chewy bite complements the rich sauce. The full flavor of the lamb and the aroma of porcini come together in a dish that showcases both ingredients and is well worth trying.

  An Indulgent Dish with Rich, Concentrated Lamb and Porcini Flavors

  This dish features lamb from "Gauche Sheep Farm" in Kamishihoro, Hokkaido, the chef's hometown. Raised amid the expansive nature of Tokachi using seasonal breeding and natural mating, the lamb has little of the characteristic gaminess and a fine-grained, supple texture. Porcini adds a rich aroma to the meat's clean savoriness, bringing out the natural character of the lamb in a dish with layered depth.
