Osaka 2014 (8/15) : Dinner at Naniwa French Begin (なにわフレンチ びぎん)

Naniwa-Style French cuisine dinner

The second day’s night, we had Naniwa-style French dinner at Naniwa French Begin

大阪二日目の夜はアコガレのなにわフレンチです（`･ω･´）(*´д｀*)

Our acquaintance is a regular customer of the restaurant. He often visit there and post articles on his blog and the restaurant was our longing restaurant 😀

やっとこれたーヽ(´ー｀)ノ

We were there for the first time, so we decided to order set menus at 5000 yen.

My drink was yuzu juice (柚子ジュース, 600 yen) 😀

飲み物は柚子ジュース(*´д｀*)

The yuzu was from over 90 years old tree. pesticide-free and fertilizer-free.

First of all, firstborn egg with consomme jelly (初産み卵とコンソメゼリー) came !

5000円のコース最初に出てきたのは初産み卵！

This was the first time to hear the word “firstborn egg”. The chef said that firstborn egg have high nutritional value and rich taste.

割ってみた。凄いオレンジ色Σ(ﾟДﾟ)

Wow !! strong orange color !!! The consomme jelly was sweet and tasty.It went with the egg very well 🙂

First bonito from Yakushima “tataki” (屋久島の初鰹の塩たたき風)

ちなみに8.8キロもある大きな鰹だったそうです。さわやかな香り(*´д｀*)

The chef said that this bonito have weight of 8.8 kg ! So large bonito ! Ate it with the ear perilla.
The ear perilla could be separated from its stalk with our chopsticks with ease 🙂
Fresh smells of the bonito was good.

Octopus from Akashi being cooked like escargot (明石蛸のエスカルゴ風)

やっぱ明石が近いのでね♪　バケットに限界までオイルを浸す･･･(ﾉ∀`)

Of course, I soaked my bread into the garlic oil to the limit 😛

Round putty of chicken and foire gras (地鶏とフォアグラの丸いパテ)

滑らかな食感がステキヽ(´ー｀)ノ

It had smooth feeling and the taste of the foie gras was good.
Still, the water cress disturbed me taking the putty’s picture 😛

Sauted cod from off the coast of Konbumori (昆布森沖産の鱈のソテー)

ぷりんぷりんの鱈Σ(ﾟДﾟ) 厚みがスゴイ(ﾉ∀`)

The cod was closed on the ship immediately to keep it fresh.
So thick and it had springy texture !!!

And such a large salad camel. They said that was “mix salad”.
The bowl was heaping full of foods !!!
Salad with bamboo shoot, firefly squid, natural bracken etc.. (ミックスサラダ)

終盤に出てきたのがこのサラダ。すごいボリュームΣ(ﾟДﾟ) 野菜も蛍烏賊もおいしい！おいしいけど！ツライ･･･(；´Д｀)

The name was “salad”, but too large and it had lots of ingredients like bamboo shoot from Wakayama, firefly squid, natural bracken from Uchiko-cho in Ehime and so on…
Those bamboo shoot and natural bracken was very fresh.
Also those organic vegetables were from Moriyama city in Shiga prefecture. Not only its taste, but they are also particular about the source of their ingredients.
The water cress was from Uchiko-cho and onion was from Moriyama city.
It was delicious, but so large !! I managed to eat it up, but it was very hard for me…

Yamagata beef steatk with bordelaise sauce (山形牛ステーキのボルドレーズソース添え)

なんとか最後までもった･･･(；´Д｀)レア加減がちょうどいい！

Last. I felt relieved that the steak was small.The degrees of burning was good for me 🙂

Dessert after meal. Brown sugar from Tarama in Miyako island and firstborn egg pudding (宮古島多良間産の黒糖と初産み卵のプリン)

デザート。スイマセン。正直言うと、もうお腹いっぱいすぎで味がわかんなかった(；´Д｀)

Also it had firstborn egg !!! Thank you !!!
Caramel sauce with raspberry vinegar from France was bottom of the pudding. It had sour taste a bit and tasty.
And the course had also one drink after the meal.

Our longing “Begin” was great as I had expected and we could spend wonderful time.
But… I couldn’t understand what is Naniwa-style 😛

We have to go there again soon …..
