Now Open We Tried the Great-Value Lunch Set at Cobalt Kitchen Across from Kansai Super Hirota【Nishitsu Gourmet】

On Tuesday, April 5, “Cobalt Kitchen” opened across from Kansai Super Hirota.

The restaurant was opened by a couple who love Okinawa: the husband is a vegetable sommelier, and the wife is a registered dietitian.

Inside the restaurant, which has a seaside feel, you can enjoy fresh vegetables, including produce delivered straight from the farm(^^)/

The Food at “Cobalt Kitchen”

A Little Luxury: S Set 1,680 yen
(Appetizer plate, soup or baguette, choice of main dish, drink)

The photo shows the appetizer plate. I was surprised by both the portion and the variety.
On this day, it included caponata, marinated carrots, potato salad with anchovies and olives, and more.

The crunch of the ice plant was just irresistible😊

I’m pretty sure I could drink two glasses of wine with this appetizer plate alone🤗

Today’s special plate was smoked duck with shiso Genovese sauce.

The meat was moist and full of flavor.
The shiso Genovese sauce was refreshing and really nice.

For the main dish, I had spinach and clam tomato sauce pasta, the pasta of the day.

It was a pasta packed with ingredients, where you could really enjoy the rich tomato flavor.
I dipped the baguette generously into the sauce too.

With a baguette and drink included, it was 1,680 yen.

This would be great when you want to treat yourself a little and enjoy a slow, relaxing lunch.

B Set 1,180 yen
(Soup or baguette, choice of main dish, drink)

For the main, I went with the staff’s recommendation:

authentic taco rice(^^)/

As you’d expect from someone who proudly says they love Okinawa, it tasted authentic.

Just when you notice a gentle kick of spice, the cheese mellows it out.
The pineapple adds a nice sweetness in your mouth😀

It felt like only my taste buds got taken on a trip to Okinawa🐳

The soup that day was cabbage and bacon soup, with the cabbage cooked until soft.

With a vegetable sommelier and a registered dietitian at the restaurant, you can enjoy plenty of fresh vegetables, and the balance is excellent🤗

And then, of course, I had dessert too.

Lunch Dessert: Orange Confit Pudding \350

The orange sauce, made with a special machine, had a lovely balance of tartness and sweetness.

The pudding was smooth, and the flower decoration was beautiful✨
It may be hard to tell from the photo, but this pudding is actually pretty big.
It was definitely a dessert worth more than its price.

Inside “Cobalt Kitchen”

The interior had a unified seaside feel. This is what they call West Coast interior style, right?Or maybe not??

When I sat down, there were notes on the table about vegetables, including “how to choose delicious ones,” “how to store them,” and “vegetable notes.”

It’s a restaurant where you can learn vegetable know-how too🍅
