フレンチレストランは佐賀のSoil Restaurant ソイル レストラン | 地元の食材を使用

佐賀駅で用事があり、グルメに詳しいインスタの知り合いの方の紹介で訪問しました。

場所は佐賀駅から西へ徒歩数分のところ。いわゆる飲み屋街からは離れているので、食に関心のある方かいらっしゃる感じかなと思います。店内は4人席が4つと(接待やお子様連れでも使える)8人用まで入れる個室、それにカウンターが3席あります。

今日いただいたのは
・有明海産海苔とイカのタルト
・スイートコーンのフラン
・長崎県産マグロ
・自家製ライ麦パン
・トマトの冷製パスタ
・ほうれん草のクレープ マテ貝添え
・佐賀県産新玉ねぎのキッシュ＆スープ
・有明海産やすみのポワレ
・牛ほほ肉の赤ワイン煮込み
・サイフォン式ハーブティー
・バニラアイス メレンゲ添え
・自家製フィナンシェ です。
九州各地の旬の食材を上手に使った料理は、どれも秀逸！毎回料理が出てくる度に、妻と「美味しいねー！」と声を出してしまいました。

ドリンクは、スパークリングワインで乾杯した後、おすすめワイン(70ml)が5種類飲めて3850円のものをいただきました。

それと、コスパが最強すぎる！これで儲け出ますか？とこちらが心配になるくらい、次から次へと、この日は計12品いただきました。
これでいくらだと思います？初訪問だったので、1番お安い7150円のコースにしたのですが、お値段をはるかに超えるコスパに驚きました。

シェフもホールのお姉さんも気さくで話しやすく、とてもくつろげるお店でした。

ごちそうさまでした！また必ずうかがいます！

I had some business at Saga Station and visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from an Instagram acquaintance who is knowledgeable about food.

The restaurant is located a few minutes' walk west of Saga Station. It's away from the typical bar district, so I imagine it's frequented by people interested in food. The interior has four tables for four, a private room that can accommodate up to eight people (suitable for business meetings or families with children), and three counter seats.

Today I had:
* Ariake Sea seaweed and squid tart
* Sweet corn flan
* Nagasaki tuna
* Homemade rye bread
* Cold tomato pasta
* Spinach crepe with razor clams
* Saga new onion quiche & soup
* Ariake Sea yasumi (a type of fish) poêlé
* Beef cheek braised in red wine
* ​​Siphon-brewed herbal tea
* Vanilla ice cream with meringue
* Homemade financier.

All the dishes, skillfully using seasonal ingredients from various parts of Kyushu, were outstanding! Every time a dish came out, my wife and I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious!"

For drinks, we toasted with sparkling wine, then ordered the recommended wine set (70ml each) which included five different wines for 3850 yen.

And the cost performance was incredible! We were worried about whether they were even making a profit, as we were served 12 dishes in total that day, one after another.

Guess how much that cost? Since it was our first visit, we chose the cheapest course at 7150 yen, but we were amazed by the value for money, which far exceeded the price.

The chef and the waitresses were all friendly and easy to talk to, making it a very relaxing restaurant.

Thank you for the delicious meal! We will definitely come again!

I visited this restaurant on a friend's recommendation.

It was a small, cozy place.

The food was wonderful and incredibly delicious.

They are very particular about their ingredients; I was amazed at how the food I usually eat tasted when prepared by this chef.

Highly recommended!

Reservations seem to be required.

Traveled all the way from Chicago and Soil ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Japan trip. I've eaten at plenty of Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and this little spot holds its own with the best of them.

The chef and waiter speak warmly and made us feel completely at home. They clearly love what they do and it shows. Free parking too, which is huge if you're road-tripping with a rental car like we were.

Every dish features hyperlocal ingredients from the surrounding area, the kind of farm-to-table experience you just can't get in a big city. We thought we were sitting down to a normal tasting menu, but the chef kept surprising us with hidden courses, 9 in total by the end! We left stuffed and smiling.

And the bread. Oh my god, the bread. Best I've ever had in my life. You can literally taste the wheat. I still think about it.

If you're traveling through Japan and want an authentic, off-the-beaten-path dining experience that rivals any famous restaurant in Tokyo or Kyoto, make the trip to Soil. Absolute hidden gem. Worth every minute of the drive.
