I’ve never really been a fan of Italian food in Japan, but after reading this blog and hearing all the comments, maybe I’ll try it again.

Thanks for the info.

I lived about 10 minutes from this restaurant last year and it is just unbelievably good. The menu changes with the season but it always has the highest standards. The first time I went there I almost wept with joy while eating! For anyone else who wants to go there, the easiest route is to turn left out of Sapporo station (south entrance), turn right at the first big intersection (pachinko parlor on the near side, hotel on the far side), walk straight for 10 minutes until you get to the shopping arcade (covered). Picchu is on the other side of the road down a narrow alley.

@Billy : Yeah I think we’ve spoken about this before on another post, we need more of it in Sydney!

@Phuoc : Ditto

@Mark : I’m hoping these exist in Sydney, just hiding.

@FFichiban : Yeah for sure, Japan always has unexpected places and dishes.

@mademoiselle délicieuse : I love seeing the chef prepare the food, an experience not to be forgotten.

@Jacq : I sure did, you should get the travel bug again !

@debbi : I didn’t want to come back!

@kthxbye : I wish I could of found out what his influences were, but damn that language barrier.

@harrow : I use all natural light, the 50mm 1.4 lens is good for low light photography.

@abercrombie : Sausage was amazing, not meat at all only crab.

I have been admiring your pictures! Very nice indeed! Your pics here are beautifully lit in a seemingly dark restaurant – what kind of lighting/flash do you use?

wow, its hard to believe that the chef has never been to japan, yet can produce such high quality italian japanese fusion dishes. I wonder where his influences come from? The presentation simple but immaculate. .-= kthxbye´s last blog ..tooty frooty =-.

Seriously a chef's table experience where the numbers are very limited and you get a bird's eye view of the action. Golden! .-= mademoiselle délicieuse´s last blog ..Here piggy, piggy, piggy! =-.

Whoah concur with Billy, this place produces unexpected dishes but it just shows that u cant judge a book by its cover. Must check it outs whenever I go to Sapporo thx! .-= FFichiban´s last blog ..Sepia – Sydney CBD, Sydney (Valentines & CNY 2010) =-.

Sounds like you had an awesome. I agree with Billy, we need more establishments like this in Sydney.

I am amazed at how dingy the restaurant looks but the food looks like out from a fine dining establishment. I so wish there is chef's table like this in sydney where you can see all the action and tasting what they are making. .-= billy@ATFT´s last blog ..Beer tasting dinner at Mumu Grill – Crows Next, Sydney, NSW =-.
