Il Paccini: A relaxed and unpretentious Italian restaurant

Il Pacini serves a wide variety of Italian cuisine. They specialize in Neapolitan cuisine, which is characterized by its casual style that emphasizes the flavor of the ingredients.

The recommended dish this time is the pizza "Salmone" that uses a lot of salmon, and it is also made with a simple taste without using any unnecessary ingredients. Furthermore, the dough is kneaded and matured for 48 hours, and then baked at a high temperature for a short time, creating a unique texture that is chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

The owner is very curious and has a strong commitment to the menu, coming up with new dishes every day that incorporate a variety of ingredients. The day's recommendations and new menu items are posted on the blackboard in the store, so be sure to check it out when you visit.

There are lots of events that use the shop, such as a market selling vegetables from local farmers and live music. We aim to create a shop that serves as a base for the local community, where a wide range of people can gather, not just for food and drink.

In addition to classic Italian cuisine, the restaurant also offers a wide selection of grilled dishes cooked over binchotan charcoal, side dishes, and wine, all of which, combined with the open atmosphere of the restaurant, make it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing time with friends.

Fukuchian: Our commitment to providing the best taste and hospitality

The "Fukuchian Ramen" we will introduce this time is a masterpiece that uses two types of soup, pork bone and chicken bone, and has been developed over the course of about 10 years. The concept is a soup that is "full of the umami and sweetness of the ingredients, yet rich and mellow, not heavy, and will satisfy people of all ages and genders."

They also use homemade noodles made from the highest quality wheat flour, two types of domestically produced char siu (pork belly cartilage and pork belly), seasoned eggs made by part-time staff, and seasonings from designated areas, and are packed with a variety of carefully selected ingredients. In addition to Fukuchian Ramen, they offer six other types of ramen with different soup flavors. In addition to ramen, they also recommend their fried chicken, which is served with their homemade sweet and spicy sauce or tartar sauce.

The operating company, Shin Fukuchian, has a management philosophy of "Fukuchian brings joy," and teaches its staff the importance of customer service every day. They want customers to enjoy not only the food, but also the lively staff working and the atmosphere of the restaurant. When you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by cheerful voices and smiling greetings, making for a comfortable stay.

The restaurant first opened in its hometown of Fukuchiyama about 30 years ago and now has six branches in the Kyoto area. It's so popular that there's always a line during the day, but it's also renowned for its flavor that never gets old and makes it a place you can return to again and again.

A bakery that uses carefully selected ingredients, popular with locals, Provence

Provence, a freshly baked bread shop in Fukuchiyama, offers a wide variety of menu items based on the concept of "creating safe, delicious products that will make you smile." The bread dough contains almost no additives, the yeast is homemade, and the bread is aged in a long refrigerator for a long period of time, creating a moist texture and bringing out the flavor and aroma.

This week's recommended dish, "sandwiches," is one such example. Each sandwich is carefully prepared to ensure that the flavor and texture of the ingredients is not lost, with cold ingredients kept cold and hot ingredients kept hot, and with the right balance of bread in mind.

They listen to their customers' feedback and make daily improvements to the menu, the mix of ingredients, how well cooked it is, and the taste. They also try to accommodate requests such as leaving out certain things as much as possible. Unfortunately, it was raining on the day of the interview, but as it was lunchtime there was a steady stream of customers, and they got the impression that this is a beloved, locally-based restaurant.

The owner, Shibahara-san, would like to develop new menu items in collaboration with local farmers in the future. We are also looking forward to unique menu items that proactively incorporate seasonal ingredients. Please come and try the taste of Provence, which is now widely known not only locally but also nationwide and overseas.
