natural kitchen saison

Saturday, the weather was overcast and cold, still, I made it a point for us to get out and walk.

We walked from our place to Ikeda, one station over from where we live.

Since we were feeling a bit hungry after walking, I suggested we eat lunch at Natural Kitchen Saison.

I've past this place on my morning walks to the market and made a note to bring Satoshi here.

We both ordered the Bistro Set...1500 yen each.

This started out with salad, some garlic cauliflower, chicken breast & carpaccio.

Next was a bowl of potato potage (a thick creamy potato soup).

This had a little sprinkle of curry on top.

I chose a meat dish for my set, this was their pork with steamed veggies. A little too salty but the meat was tender.

Satoshi chose a fish dish for his set, tara (cod) with a tomato sauce and vegetables.

The fish was perfectly cooked and I liked the tomato sauce. It was nice mopping it up with the bread that came with our meal.

Dessert was a caramel mousse, vanilla ice cream with a fruit compote and a slice of chestnut tarte.

Satoshi had coffee while I had an espresso.

For the money, it was worth it and delicious. They do get busy, so you may want to make reservations or go early...we'll be back.
