The Chef of 花之家 is one of my more respected chef encounters eating around Japanese restaurants.

The Chef of 花之家 is one of my more respected chef encounters eating around Japanese restaurants. Sharing linkage to his home base of Hokkaido in Japan, which is pretty much the same case with the head chefs at Tensho (天勝) and Sushi Sase (鮨佐瀬), Hana-san’s cuisine is half based on general Japanese cuisine, but look carefully and you’ll notice he has never forgotten about his original Hokkaido heritage and still pays homage to the theme of a well structured, true Hokkaido styled dinner cuisine. So much so that he adheres to the regional Hokkaido spellings of certain dishes hardly used in the rest of the main Japanese continent. My previous lunch here was their 幕の內弁当 @ Hananoya, a experience that was slightly over-priced vs the average quality. But having visited the chef’s old shop before, I guess it is dinner time when he really thrives with his recipes.

I still find it slightly over-priced during dinner versus it’s peers however. But that’s the premium you must be willing to pay if you want to experience authentic Hokkaido 鄉土料理 cuisine - not to be confused with 家庭料理, which means another thing altogether but somehow often associated with this shop for some unknown reason.. (家庭料理的那個、 是花師奶煮的吧...) 


Our night starts with a highly refreshing and appetizing ふき (菜蕗)....
