truffle specialty store Muccini in Ginza

[Apricot peony] February 19, 2014 09:00

Recently, there was "truffle Sauce" in a family restaurant menu, but truffle is a high-class ingredient that is still unfamiliar to ordinary people like me.

However, as expected, a shop specializing in truffle opened last year.

The place is Kabukiza Ura, near the exit of Higashi-Ginza Station on the Toei Subway, and there are many fashionable Italian shops such as the famous Ochiai chef "La Bettla da Ochiai".

 

The restaurant's name "Muccini" is an Italian gastronomy brand and offers a variety of products that condenses the charm of high-quality truffle in the Marquee region near the Adriatic Sea, including dry truffle, truffle salt, truffle olive oil and truffle sauce.

 

There are 5 counter seats in the store, and you can eat these items like eat-in.

There is also lunch, pasta and risotto made with truffle, wine, bread from Asanoya, and dessert.

I went with my friends at this time, so I asked for "Black Summer truffle's Risotto" and "Black Summer truffle's Talia Telle" for better taste of truffle.

 

First of all, the bread served on the wine is accompanied by truffle salt and truffle olive oil.

The bread is usually eaten with butter, but when the flavor of truffle is added, it feels really plump and surprised.

Since risotto is boiled from raw rice, it takes a little time, so at first from the black summer truffle Taliatelle.

What I know is "with truffle of XX" or "truffle sauce of XX", and it is the first time that Dawn and truffle are so luxurious.

Not only the scent, but also the slightly stiff texture is impressive.

Isn't it unique to this shop that truffle itself plays a leading role?

It seems that they are simply using bouillon, but I feel that all the charms of truffle are blended in.

 

There was also the finest white truffle sent directly to Italy, and there was also a menu that was sauteed and served with fried eggs.

 

At the beginning of last year's opening, it was featured in various media such as television and magazines, partly due to the opening of the new Kabukiza Theater, but renowned critics have also been praised and visited many times It seems that the name has already been roared among gourmets.

 

ck1203_20140218 (5). jpgThere are also specialized books on truffle in the store, which is lined with various items such as truffle salt, truffle sauce and olive oil, and chefs and shops are very kind enough to teach you about the type of truffle and how to cook.

 

At the end of last year, many people seemed to be a little extravagant at home during Christmas and New Year's holidays, and they were very busy.

I also know Italian chef told me that only a little bit of truffle salt will make the taste of pasta completely different, so I would like to try it out.

My friend also thought so, and immediately after the meal he bought truffle sauce.

 

There is no doubt that your home cooking will be upgraded if you touch the charms of truffle at this store and purchase and use the items you like.

How about a little luxury?
