Shintomi-cho French made by a French chef
Exit 3 of Shintomicho Station on the Yurakucho Line and head to Hatchobori on Heisei Dori, a goodwill imitating the French flag of Tricolor is a landmark. Opened in November 2021, there is "Nichola Schwarrie" where you can have an elaborate French with no stiff shoulders.
It's a small shop with about 10 counter seats, but you can see the chef who burns seriously in the kitchen up close. The meticulous service and breath of the wife in a kimono are perfect. Nikolaos' food, which has been visiting Japan for 20 years, is a delicate taste that fully understands Japanese tastes. Along with a beautiful plate, you can enjoy fried tofu with foiegras in between. It's somehow delicious to Kaiseki cuisine.
After the meal, I received a souvenir from Nikora from Bordeaux, a hometown confectionery, Canelé. Bordeaux is a wine, but after the process of removing the starch of red wine using egg whites, it is said that it is made by baking the surplus egg yolk. If you ask, you can purchase only Canele. (250 yen per piece)
Surrounded by the warm personality of the two, you can enjoy delicious food and wine. A wonderful space will spread.
There is a signboard at the site of Shintomiza nearby, and this area around the Meiji period was a play town including Kibiki-cho. There are many famous shops in Ginza, but why not enjoy a spring evening in this area where up-and-coming chefs gather along the back alleys of Shintomi-cho, where humanity still remains.
