There is an exotic building on the premises of the construction company ``Shinya'', which develops Japanese architecture overseas using wood from Yatsugatake! I heard that Choc, a cafe where you can enjoy authentic Vietnamese home-cooked food, was finally opening on May 2024, 5, so I went there early.

The interior of the restaurant uses traditional Japanese techniques and the texture of wood to create a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere reminiscent of an Asian resort. I was blown away by his high design sense.
Rusiya has a Vietnamese office and many Vietnamese employees, so they opened the cafe so that people can casually enjoy authentic and delicious Vietnamese home cooking, saying, ``We want to spread the appeal of authentic and delicious Vietnamese home cooking even more in Japan.''

There are two types of food on the menu: Vietnamese classic banh mi and beef pho.
The special bread made exclusively for banh mi by a Vietnamese living in Japan is sandwiched with original liver pate, Vietnamese ham, braised pork, and other ingredients to create authentic flavors. The special sweet and spicy ground meat sauce and egg sauce create an irresistible harmony, and you'll definitely get addicted to this!
The chili sauce that comes with it by default has an excellent balance of mild spiciness and sweetness, but if you like spicier things, try the special chili sauce made by Mr. Ha, a Vietnamese staff member who also creates recipes (+50 yen). Along with the rich flavor, we also recommend adding more cilantro (+100 yen).

Another signature dish, the Beef Pho, is a masterpiece that boasts a soup made with beef shank, beef tendon, and vegetables.

With different flavors such as lime, chili sauce and original garlic vinegar, one cup is delicious again and again ♡

The soup is highly transparent and is packed with ideas to maximize the flavor of each ingredient, and the smooth and chewy noodles with tapioca flour have a pleasant texture, making it easy to eat. The beef shank is stewed with a blend of about 9 different spices, and has beautiful streaks, a surprisingly rich flavor and umami, and is extremely tender.
You can eat it as is, then dip the meat in garlic vinegar flavored with fish sauce for a refreshing taste.It's also great that there are so many different flavor items to choose from.

At the end, add a squeeze of lime to get a taste of Vietnam. Your taste buds will be delighted with the deliciousness that will make you want to drink every drop.

How about some tea made with pandan leaves, also known as oriental vanilla, to accompany your meals? The sweet coconut-like scent is addictive. Although it's sweet, it's just the flavor, so it's refreshing and easy to drink with meals.

``Nao'' plays a role in conveying Vietnamese culture to Yamanashi, and is committed to being ``authentic'' and ``authentic'', and opened with the desire to spread Vietnamese culture from Hokuto City.
In the future, there are plans to open an adjacent direct sales store for local vegetables and sell Vietnamese miscellaneous goods, so I'm looking forward to the future.
