During a check for all things “Only in Japan” our Spaniard cohort came across "the garlic restaurant". Using garlic isn’t anything new, I know, but here it's the star ingredient, even the chairs were shaped like cloves of garlic.
You can smell the restaurant a mile before you get there and I’m sure people could smell us from a mile away after leaving.
The offered up an array of dishes spanning many different cuisines. We started with a chunk of the main stuff, roasted and served with a miso dipping sauce…
It was really good, but we all wanted bread to smear it on.
For our mains we decided to share and each picked a dish. We went with a Korean pebble pot dish (served in a stone pot so the rice gets crunchy), some sort of Asian beef and rice dish, pesto, carbonara and a garlic and cheese pizza…
Everything was delicious, but that pizza…that pizza was one of the best I've ever had.
Granted we’re all getting a little sick of rice these days, but it was seriously so good we ordered 2 more to split and plan on going back this week.
We had two great discoveries at the restaurant. One, crunchy fried slivers of garlic are a MUST for pizza and two, Panola hot sauce is the jam.
It seems that me and the Bestie aren't the only ones who love hot sauce with their pizza. Apparently it's always served alongside a slice. I've never seen this sauce in the States, but someone has got to find it and find it quick. Buy a case, I'll pay you back for it!
