Wonderful Dinner in Dazaifu - 梅の花自然庵

都内の駅ビルなどで和食店を展開している梅の花が、実はこちらの久留米が本拠地だとは九州に来るまで知らなかった。太宰府の自然庵という店でしっかりした夕食をいただいた。元々個人の別荘だった建物を使っているそうで、立派な庭に面した個室での食事は雰囲気・料理ともに満足。後でネットで調べてみたら、いただいたのは杏というコースだったようで、あれだけの内容が4000円とは驚きとしか言いようがない。[写真は撮っていないので、お店のサイトから拝借]


“Ume no Hana” is a chain of Japanese restaurants that are found in some station buildings in Tokyo, and I was not aware until I came to Kyushu that the group was originally from Kurume in this neighborhood. We had an impressive dinner in Shizen-an in Dazaifu. The house was originally built as a private retreat, and the rooms for dining face to a beautiful Japanese garden. The dishes in this atmosphere were amazing, particularly when I found later in the net that the course menu we had was 4000 Yen. I had no pictures taken, so borrowed the entrance shot from their webpage.
