The characteristic of Spanish paella is that it is finished in "al dente", which has a firm texture of rice. Even in Japanese stores, it will be offered with "the authentic taste".

The signature menu is the "Valencia-style paella" that incorporates the traditional manufacturing method of the Valencia region (orders start from 2 servings, tax not included 1,780 yen / serving). It seems that Valencia style is to transfer the taste of rabbit and chicken to rice and add ingredients such as escargot and green beans. Complex flavors are intertwined and spread in the mouth.
