"Kiyosato no Mori Shokudo ~ DD & Lua" will open in Kiyosato Forest in Hokuto City on November 2024, 11!

This is a great place for those with dogs, as they are allowed to bring large dogs inside the restaurant. Dogs come first everywhere, and even their menu items are as luxurious as any human, including "horse meat and steamed vegetable compote" and "diced Ezo venison steak."

The store manager, DD-kun (pictured left/2 years old) and assistant manager, Lua-chan (pictured right/1 year old), were there to welcome us.

The restaurant has expanded its reasonably priced set menu, including silver salmon and fried chicken with salt and green onions, to make it a little more accessible, as there are surprisingly few down-to-earth restaurants in the fashionable city of Hokuto. Today, I ordered the popular hamburger set menu made with Koshu wine beef from Yamanashi Prefecture.

The chef, who has been involved in the food and beverage industry in Tokyo for many years, is particular about making everything from scratch, and the hand-kneaded hamburger steak has a meaty, authentic taste. The caramelized, charred sauce and rich demi-glace also bring out the umami of the meat.

It's great that you can enjoy the same menu for both lunch and dinner. The dynamic grilled meat platter is filling and makes a great snack to go with your drinks or when you want a hearty meal!
Since I'm driving today, I'll have Galvanina, an organic soft drink from Italy that contains no artificial sweeteners, colorings, or preservatives.

Koshu wine beef rump, chicken thigh, and Fujizakura pork are simply grilled. You can taste the sweetness and flavor of each ingredient directly, and add salt, ponzu sauce, or honey mustard to your liking.

Feijão, Brazil's national dish.
It's like a stew made by simmering carioca beans with garlic, salt and spices. The sweetness of the beans is brought out by the salt, and the flavor of garlic and spices goes well with rice. It comes with juicy linguiça, but you can also change it to soy meat for vegans.
