HUG THE KITCHEN

Exit Sakuragicho Station Exit 4 and proceed along the main street (Shin-Yokohama-dori) towards Kannai, and you will find 'HUG THE KITCHEN' approximately 2 minutes on foot.
It is a stylish Italian restaurant renovated from a detached house on Noge Street.

Dogs welcome on the terrace! A terrace seating area with a casual atmosphere, perfect for stopping by during a walk with your beloved dog.
Depending on the season, the restaurant's large windows are open, creating a sense of unity with the interior, and a lively yet relaxing atmosphere.

At 'HUG THE KITCHEN & WINE', a chef who trained in Italy for three years and has experience in French and game cuisine showcases their skills.
Utilizing various cooking techniques and knowledge, they offer creative and playful Italian dishes.
The ingredients used in the dishes are carefully selected with an emphasis on origin and freshness, including local vegetables from Yokohama, Tankaku beef from Akita, pork from Iwate, and seafood directly delivered from Kochi.
Furthermore, by carefully handmade sausages, hams, and other items without sparing effort, they pursue a deliciousness that cannot be found in ready-made products.

Upon being seated, the first thing served is the complimentary 'Kiln-baked Bread'.
It is carefully handmade in the restaurant.
The bread, slowly baked in the restaurant's stone oven, has a fragrant and crispy crust while being soft on the inside.
With one bite, the rich aroma of the wheat spreads, allowing you to enjoy a simple yet profound taste.
This bread can be enjoyed as an appetizer on its own, or it can be deliciously dipped in the dish's sauce.

The first dish we recommend you try from 'HUG THE KITCHEN's menu is the 'Assortment of Appetizers'.
Its popularity is immense, with an astonishing 87% repeat rate! The reason, above all, is its deliciousness, generous portions, and great value.
You can luxuriously enjoy a variety of appetizers, such as homemade ham and terrine, and carpaccio made with fresh seasonal fish, all in small portions.

The 'Ageage Broccoli', recommended by Yume Mama, is said to be highly addictive.
With one bite, the fragrant crispiness of the deep-fried broccoli and its fluffy texture spread.
Hidden within its simple appearance is a surprising deliciousness that you wouldn't expect.

The restaurant's most popular dish is the 'Porcini Triple Mozzarella Pizza'.
Its charm is, without a doubt, the overwhelming cheesy sensation from the luxurious use of three times the normal amount of mozzarella cheese.
With one bite, a rich umami flavor, as if 'swallowed by a vortex of cheese', spreads throughout your mouth, allowing you to enjoy a melting texture to your heart's content.
Supporting the deliciousness of this pizza is the homemade dough, made with a commitment to handcrafted quality.
Baked Neapolitan style in the restaurant's stone oven, it has a fragrant crust and a chewy texture inside.
The rich aroma of porcini mushrooms exquisitely intertwines with the rich cheese, offering a truly luxurious taste that will keep you captivated until the last bite.

For pasta, we highly recommend the 'Seafood Overload Tomato Cream Spaghetti', a dish that truly allows you to savor all the blessings of the sea.
Fresh seafood such as crab, mussels, vongole, squid, and shrimp are lavishly piled on, creating a gorgeous appearance that brightens up the table.
The rich umami overflowing from each seafood ingredient exquisitely blends with the special tomato cream sauce, and with every bite, the aroma of the sea fills your mouth.
It's a highly satisfying pasta that can be enjoyed with both your eyes and your palate, leaving your heart full.

For the main dish, the chef's top recommendation is the 'Akita Prefecture Tankaku Beef [Kazuno Beef] Ichibo Grill'.
Rare Tankaku beef, which accounts for only 5% of wagyu production, is characterized by its lean, low-calorie, high-protein red meat, raised through free-range grazing.
The 'Kazuno Beef', slowly grilled in a stone oven with expert skill, releases the rich, authentic umami of beef with every bite.
Enhancing its deliciousness are fresh grilled vegetables from Yokohama, which vary by season, and homemade mustard that adds a flavorful accent.
It is a meticulously crafted dish that allows you to savor the inherent deliciousness of the meat simply and luxuriously.

Happily, your dog can also enjoy the restaurant's proud meat dishes with you.
You can order your preferred meat from the menu, without seasoning.
Additionally, fresh vegetables from Yokohama can be added upon request.

Please have your dog eat under the table.

The chef's proud homemade desserts offer an appealing lineup that further enhances post-meal satisfaction.
You can enjoy carefully crafted desserts that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients, such as 'Royal Milk Tea Panna Cotta' and 'Tiramisu' made with luxurious mascarpone cheese.
In particular, the vanilla ice cream with balsamic sauce is a surprisingly addictive combination.
For those who want to try a variety, the 'Assortment of 2 Desserts', allowing you to enjoy several desserts in small portions, is recommended.
For special occasions like birthdays, a message plate* service is available, allowing you to create a wonderful surprise!
