Hearing the information that 'HARAKAWA', a popular Chinese restaurant in Kitashinchi, started lunch, I've wanted to go for a long time and finally came here~✨ Reservation at 12 o'clock~♬.*ﾟ Monthly lunch choice from 2 types ¥1600 Courses are ¥3800 and ¥7800✨ Also... there is a ¥12000 one that requires reservation~ This time we made the ¥3800 course✨ First, a toast with beer~ ☆ Bottled beer ◼︎ Appetizer ◼︎ Kesennuma Shark Fin Soup My favorite shark fin ♡ Small size, but there are some blocks in places, which is happy ♡ It's light yet has umami and is delicious ♡ ◼︎ Dim Sum, Shrimp and Chive Bun The ingredients are tightly wrapped inside a thin skin so you can enjoy the original taste of the ingredients. As a taste changer, I had half with soy sauce, but personally, I recommend soy sauce ✨ ◼︎ Steamed Yellow Grouper Plump yellow grouper❗️ Aromatic vegetables like shiraga negi, myoga, and coriander accentuate the light white fish~ The sauce has a gentle taste that fuses Chinese and Japanese styles ✨ ☆ Yamazaki Highball ◼︎ Sweet and Sour Pork, Okinawa Prefecture pork The crispy pork is super tender with one bite and the sauce is sweet. Baby pumpkin features a rich sweetness~ Pumpkin is better than pineapple in sweet and sour pork ✨ ◼︎ Chinese Rice Dumpling Long time no see Chinese rice dumpling❗️ I'm happy❣️ When you peel the bamboo leaf, shiny glutinous rice appears❗️ There are several kinds of ingredients inside, and I love this chewy texture and Chinese flavor ·͜·ᰔᩚ ◼︎ Mango Brulee The surface is crispy and nicely browned ✨ Mango is soft and rich I was very satisfied with the dessert finish that makes you feel the season ✨ The chimaki was so delicious that I bought 1 pack (3 pieces) as a souvenir >ᴗ<✧ I'm so glad I can eat it at home ♡ Very elegant and every single dish was very satisfying Having steamed dishes and chimaki was different from usual Chinese food~ and very refreshing (*˙˘˙*)❥❥ I'm definitely coming back here~❣️ Next time I want to eat the 1600 yen lunch~ After that I also want to eat the 7800 yen Kesennuma whole shark fin stew lunch (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) Chinese food certainly cannot be made deliciously at home, so coming to a delicious restaurant really made me feel so happy (*ˊᵕˋ*) Thank you for the meal❣️

Located in a corner of a residential area and the parking lot looks lonely, but when you enter the store, you are surprised that it is wider than expected. It is crowded with many customers, indicating that it is a popular store. Ordered the luxurious lunch, the food is delicious, but they all tasted similar and weren't impressive enough. I was surprised that enoki mushrooms were included in the shark fin soup I was looking forward to. The texture of the enoki mushrooms beat the shark fin, and I couldn't feel the shark fin. Customer service is not bad, but the food is brought too fast. The next dish comes even though I haven't finished eating yet. It was a pity because I wanted to enjoy freshly cooked food at the best timing. What left an impression was the ankake fried rice, which was flavorful and very delicious. The dessert was black tea pudding with caramel ice cream, lemon jelly and baked goods, all homemade. They were all delicious, but they were served together in one plate without partitions, and I felt it was a pity that the lemon flavor and caramel flavor mixed. Am I the only one who felt that way? At the end, the chef comes to greet you.

Visiting for the first time in 8 years, I was grateful and impressed by the further evolution. The taste and service make you understand the meaning of "New Chinese Cuisine." My wife and I got excited about the "taste change" of the shark fin, and it became the happiest moment.

I was finally able to visit the famous restaurant HARAKAWA, which I had wanted to go to for a long time. There is also a parking lot. The completely reserved 12:00 simultaneous start lunch (4200 yen) that I requested was on a golden birdcage stand like a two-tier afternoon tea with sparkling vessels reminiscent of Cinderella's glass slipper. The moment I saw the beautifully crafted bite-sized appetizers, my heart was about to flutter. A wonderful appetizer that makes you want to sigh! All the course meals were elegant and delicious, and I could enjoy the crispy texture of things like eel spring rolls. The dessert was jasmine tea ice cream. All the dishes were delicate and a reward that enriched my soul. Thank you to the chef for greeting us and seeing us off at the end. Major menu changes are made every 2 months and reservations are possible for 1 person. Thank you for the best food feast. I am filled with gratitude.
