Actual meal
This time, I had risotto with grilled vegetables and minced chicken.

- Risotto with grilled vegetables and minced chicken (thick tomato sauce/no spiciness)
- Salad with seasonal fruit (Muscat)
- Seasonal fruit drink (white grape soda)
Detailed impressions are below.
- Risotto with Grilled Vegetables and Minced Chicken (Thick Tomato Sauce/No Spiciness)
- Despite the fact that I chose the non-spicy option, the curry flavor was very strong. The flavor from the minced meat, the acidity from the tomatoes, and the texture of the vegetables were in harmony and very tasty 😋.
- Salad with seasonal fruits (Muscat)
- The seasonal fruit was unexpectedly muscat. The green color is easy on the eyes. The sweetness and freshness of the fruit is fully utilized and very good.
- Seasonal fruit drink (white grape soda)
- Muscat juice and carbonated drink. The golden glow in the flute-shaped wine glass looks like a white wine served in a high-class restaurant. It has a luxurious feel and makes you feel good.
Comments
With its curry-flavored risotto, salad, and drink, this breakfast was of a high level of taste and appearance. The risotto, with its spice aroma and robust tomato flavor, whetted my appetite from the morning.
When we ordered, the waiter asked, "Would you like a sweet?" I regret saying "No, thank you" when the waitress asked me if I wanted sweets.
Next time, I would like to try the soup curry and sweets on the lunch menu.
