◆ Natural trattoria from NY landed for the first time in Japan

First of all, the Italian restaurant "ROSEMARY'S", which is gaining enthusiastic support from celebrities in New York (NY), USA. It is the first hot store in Japan.

Rosemary's is located in the West Village area, home to many celebrities from all walks of life. Since it opened in 2010, it is said that it is a very popular store that has been said to wait for an hour whenever you go. Herbs grown in the rooftop vegetable garden and pasta made from ingredients procured from local producers are said to impress gourmets.

Even in Japan, it is said that dishes will be prepared that make the best use of the taste of the ingredients, using plenty of ingredients procured from producers in the Kanto area. Unfortunately I couldn't taste it, but I would like to go to a casual Italian restaurant on a special day in an open space full of greenery.

In Shinjuku, we have a wide variety of menus such as original craft beer in collaboration with Kamakura beer, pizza with seasonal ingredients, pancakes that are particular about the mixture of flour, and hamburgers made from 100% Japanese black beer.

Among these, I tasted "Gardener's Salad Bitter Greens and Seasonal Fruits" and "Pomodoro (Pizza)" (1,400 yen each). Both are simple but profound, where you can fully enjoy the deliciousness of the ingredients.

When the weather is nice, I want to enjoy it on the terrace! It has a total of 160 seats, so it can accommodate a large number of people.
