Recommendation of Italian restaurant in Fukui City “Cucina”

2016.11.02

Gourmet

Italian restaurants have increased in Fukui City but it seems like ones which adhere to the real taste of Italian dishes are still limited.

 

“Cucina” is a long standing Italian restaurant and you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine there.

 

The taste’s secret might be that its chef and all the staff go to Italy every year state by state to learn its cuisine and culture. (H.S)

 


Inside the restaurant which has a quiet atmosphere

 


Seafood antipasto

 


Umbrian-style antipasto (for two people)　
*Umbria is in the middle Italy, where is rich in green, known for wine and food.

 


If you order Spaghetti Amatriciana, they will donate a part of the profits for the Amatrice Earthquake in August.

 


Sauteed porcini mushrooms with butter.
Porcini is in season now.

 


They showed us porcini mushrooms before cooking.
They are shipped by air from Italy.

 


Digestif “Nocello”(walnuts liqueur)
I tried it for the first time. It was so delicious.

 


The bottle of the Nocello

 


Dolce of pistachio. It was delicious too.
Speaking of pistachio, when I visited Sicily before, spaghetti with pistachio was so good and
I sometimes cooked it by imitating after I returned to Japan.

Production notes

Sometimes, I make calendars besides making videos. The two calendars, “Story of Nagahama Hikiyama Festival” and “Story of Echizen Pottery” which I did everything from taking photographs to creating designs for are completed. They both are 13 sets of B3 sized paper.

 

I used an online printing service called “Printnet” which has its head office in Kagoshima for the first time. The basic printing service that they provide is inexpensive but the optional color checking service is a bit expensive. Therefore, I decided to order the service without the color checking service.

 

As a result, the calendars were surprisingly completed with the same colors as I checked before printing at the office and there were no problems. I always thought that when a different monitor, color printer and offset are used, colors would be changed from the original image as well. I wonder when the printing technology has been progressed.

 

For making the calendar, “Story of Echizen Pottery”, 12 potters helped me. All of the potters were unique ones and it was enjoyable to work with them.
