広島からの一泊二日の神戸旅行の2日目、広島ではなかなか味わえない神戸牛を堪能できるとあって、期待に胸を膨らませての訪問です。
店内は、名前の由来通り矢沢永吉さん一色で、BGMももちろん永ちゃん。落ち着いた雰囲気と大人のサービスが印象的でした。ランチタイムに6名で「キャロルコース」を頂きました。
まず、キムチとナムルの盛り合わせで食欲が刺激され、続いて出てきた神戸牛の小鉢は、肉の旨味が凝縮されていて絶品でした。サラダはドレッシングと柚子マヨネーズの組み合わせが爽やかで、神戸牛の肉寿司は中トロと赤身のバランスが絶妙。
牛タンは、塩味が肉の甘みを引き立て、神戸牛焼肉と焼きしゃぶの盛り合わせは、どちらも柔らかくジューシーで、口の中でとろけるような食感でした。店員さんが説明しながら丁寧に焼いてくれるので、最高の状態で味わうことができました。
季節の焼野菜は、肉の合間にさっぱりとした味わいを楽しめ、ホルモンの旨辛味噌ダレはピリッとした辛さがアクセントに。締めのミニ冷麺は、さっぱりとしたスープが口の中をリフレッシュさせ、デザートで最後まで大満足のランチでした。
広島からの旅行の素晴らしい思い出となりました。ぜひまた訪れたいと思います。

On the second day of our two-day, one-night trip to Kobe from Hiroshima, we were excited to visit the restaurant, hoping to enjoy Kobe beef, which is hard to find in Hiroshima.
As the restaurant's name suggests, the atmosphere was dominated by Eikichi Yazawa, and the background music was of course Eikichi. The relaxed atmosphere and mature service were impressive. Six of us had the "Carol Course" at lunchtime.
First, the kimchi and namul platter stimulated our appetite, and the small bowl of Kobe beef that came next was exquisite, with the umami of the meat condensed into it. The salad had a refreshing combination of dressing and yuzu mayonnaise, and the Kobe beef sushi had an excellent balance of medium fatty tuna and lean meat.
The saltiness of the beef tongue brought out the sweetness of the meat, and both the Kobe beef yakiniku and yakishabu platter were soft and juicy, with a texture that melted in our mouths. The staff carefully cooked the food while explaining it to us, so we were able to enjoy it at its best.
The seasonal grilled vegetables offer a refreshing taste between the meat, and the spicy miso sauce for the offal adds a spicy accent. The mini cold noodles at the end refreshed the mouth with their light soup, and the dessert made for a very satisfying lunch until the very end.
It was a wonderful memory of my trip from Hiroshima. I would definitely like to visit again.
