Limited-Time Summer Menu

◆ Whole Tomato & Prosciutto Cold Pomodoro Pasta – ¥1,480 (tax included)

A visually striking cold pasta featuring marinated whole tomatoes as the star ingredient.

The pomodoro sauce is rich and intensely flavorful, capturing the essence of ripe tomatoes, yet finishes clean and refreshing. The delicate saltiness of prosciutto perfectly enhances the umami of the tomatoes, creating a harmonious balance.

◆ Shrimp & Avocado Cold Pesto – ¥1,430 (tax included)

A vibrant green house-made pesto sauce made with generous amounts of fresh domestic basil, evoking a sense of coolness. Creamy avocado, often called "forest butter," blends perfectly with the sauce, creating a layered and complex flavor profile.

This dish delivers a burst of basil’s crisp freshness and aromatic fragrance across your palate.

◆ Hakata Mentaiko with Ikura, Uni, and Squid – ¥1,530 (tax included)

Spicy mentaiko pasta topped with luxurious ocean treasures: ikura (salmon roe), uni (sea urchin), and squid. A light, refreshing aroma of perilla leaf at the finish elegantly cleanses the palate, balancing the richness.

A colorful, celebratory pasta dish perfect for summer.
