FRENCH BAR Les Sens

Exit Tamaplaza Station North Exit, go up the gentle slope in front of Yokado, and head towards Azamino at the Mizuho Bank intersection.
Right there you will find "French Bar Les Sens".
The calm, chic-colored building is adorned with warm lighting, and the floor-to-ceiling glass entrance offers a peek into the stylish interior.

Dogs are welcome inside (small dogs) and on the terrace seats! Step inside, and you'll find a stylish space that feels truly a world away from the everyday.
Along the walls, wines carefully selected by the chef are neatly lined up, and the sophisticated interior and decor reflect a meticulous attention to detail.
The charm lies in its cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy authentic French cuisine without any stuffiness.

At Les Sens, Chef Watanabe—who honed his skills at a three-star restaurant in southern France—focuses on French regional cuisine, offering casual French dishes you can only experience here.
You can enjoy simple yet profound dishes that bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients to the fullest, such as local Yokohama vegetables, meat carefully selected from Europe, and fresh seafood delivered from all over Japan.
Another appealing point is that you can casually enjoy a la carte dishes according to your preference, or thoroughly savor an authentic full course.

First off, the dish we definitely want you to order is the "Assorted 3-Appetizer Platter".
This is truly a special dish where you can taste several recommended items packed with the chef's dedication all at once.
The biggest charm of this assortment is that the contents change daily depending on the day's purchases and the chef's inspiration.
Because of this, you will discover something new no matter how many times you visit, and you can fully enjoy seasonal flavors and the chef's creativity.

Les Sens's special "pasta" and "risotto" have received rave reviews from many customers.
Rather than having a fixed menu, the pasta and risotto are served as daily specials using carefully selected seasonal ingredients at their absolute peak.
Take one bite, and the natural umami of the ingredients gently spreads out, capturing your heart with the profound flavors woven by delicate French techniques.
Simple yet meticulously calculated, the pasta and risotto truly embody Les Sens's concept of "maximizing the flavor of the ingredients."
"What kind of risotto will I get to meet today?" That sense of excitement is also a major charm of this dish.

The fish dish taking center stage as a main at Les Sens is served as the "Today's Fish Dish."
This is because we carefully select the freshest seasonal fish available at that time from all over Japan.
No matter when you visit, you can enjoy fish dishes in their absolute best condition.
The "Pan-Seared White Fish with Herb Breadcrumbs" ordered by Yume-mama on this day is a masterpiece that truly shines with this dedication.
The combination of the plumply baked white fish and the crispy, aromatic herb-infused breadcrumbs creates an exquisite harmony of texture and aroma.
Take one bite, and the refreshing aroma of herbs and the delicate umami of the white fish fill your mouth, showcasing the chef's skill in bringing out the best in the ingredients.

A must-try at Les Sens is the "Braised Beef Cheek in Red Wine," which truly embodies classic French cuisine.
The biggest charm of this dish is, above all, its astonishing tenderness.
Carefully selected beef cheeks are slowly braised over time with red wine and aromatic vegetables until they fall apart with just a touch of a fork.
When you put it in your mouth, along with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, the rich aroma of red wine and the deep umami of the beef spread out, enveloping you in deep richness and satisfaction.
The accompanying side dishes further enhance the rich flavor of the braise, striking a perfect harmony.

Further elevating Les Sens's cuisine is an abundant and carefully curated wine collection.
Based on knowledge cultivated through training in southern France and a deep understanding of cuisine, the chef has curated wines that maximize the appeal of each dish.
What's noteworthy is the wide-ranging lineup that complements French regional cuisine.
Rather than leaning toward specific labels, regionally diverse wines are selected, allowing you to find the ideal bottle for any occasion and dish, from casual a la carte dining to an authentic full course.
Another great feature is that if you consult the chef, they will suggest the perfect wine to match your preferences and the day's dishes.
Please fully enjoy the true essence of French cuisine to your heart's content, paired with our carefully selected wines.

Indispensable to the conclusion of the meal are the heart-capturing desserts crafted by the chef.
Using carefully selected, high-quality ingredients, these simple yet meticulously calculated desserts—each imbued with the chef's delicate technique and warmth—further enhance post-meal satisfaction.
Particularly popular is the "Gateau Chocolat."
The moist and rich melt-in-your-mouth texture created by slow-baking at a low temperature is pure bliss.
The rich aroma of cacao spreads out, making it a perfect match not only for coffee or tea, but also for after-dinner drinks.
The "Cream Cheesecake" charms with a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture that spreads the moment you take a bite, alongside the rich, naturalコク (richness) of the cheese.
By using carefully selected, high-quality cheese and baking it simply without adding anything unnecessary, the rich flavor inherent in the ingredients is maximized.

Upon request, special menus for dogs can also be prepared.
What was served to Yume-chan on this day was the "Beef Chuck Roast Steak."
Carefully selected beef chuck roast is carefully grilled without seasoning specifically for dogs.
Another delightful point is the chef's thoughtfulness, making fine adjustments to the degree of doneness and how it's cut to match your dog's preferences.
The contents of the dog menu vary depending on the day's purchasing situation.
