In Tokyo, I wonder if any kind of dishes can NOT be found?
This time I tried food from Hungary, Eastern Europe. The restaurant, Az Finom is just off a major street of Harajuku, vital fasionable town. The restaurant is located on the basement floor and the inside of the restaurant is elegantly decorated with art works on the wall, wooden cup boards and white cloth on tables. It has a long counter table where guests are able to enjoy the unit as a wine bar and to try variety of wine from East Europe.
We ordered a dinner course with local specialities of Hungary and a glass of Hungarian "Tokaji" wine .
Maybe the best-known Hungarian dish, Gulyas Soup,
cooked with "Paprika", icon of Hungarian ingredients
That is not spicy as much as imagined from the red-chili color.
A good starter especially in Winter.
Fois gras with onion tarte
Don't miss it. Goose fois gras is also Hungarian speciality!
Chicken paprika with pasta
Chicken meat is soft and well matched with paprika sauce.
The dishes are prepared by the Hungarian chef. So they must be real Hungarian dishes, even though I have never been there. The plates used at the restaurant are noble porcelain made by Zsolnay from Hungary. The highest quality porcelain products make the restaurant more elegant and Hungarian atompsphere.
