Good morning.
Continuing from yesterday,
today I would like to share with you a piece of information about Kobe.
There is a hotel in Kobe that I have dreamed of for many years!
The name is Kobe Kitano Hotel.
It is a Western-style brick building that appears when you stroll down Toa Road from Sannomiya.
It opened in 1992.
It is known as the best auberge in Kansai.
The reason why I continue to admire this hotel is, above all, its breakfast!
It’s the best breakfast in the world.
What do you mean by “the best breakfast in the world”?
The title of “world’s best breakfast” was given to the breakfast menu created by Bernard Loiseau, a leading figure in the French culinary world.
I see…
So
What kind of person is Mr. Bernard Loiseau exactly?
Bernard Loiseau (January 13, 1951 – February 24, 2003) was a French chef and entrepreneur.
He aimed to break away from the heavy use of butter in his cooking, and while he was influenced by Nouvelle Cuisine, he focused on bringing out the flavors of the ingredients. He eliminated butter, cream, and oil, and instead made sauces by deglazing meats with water, which he called “cuisine à l’eau” (water cuisine).
He single-handedly rebuilt La Côte d’Or, which had fallen into decline, from almost nothing to a 19.5 out of 20 in the restaurant guide “Gault et Millau” and three stars in the “Red Michelin”.
However, in 2003, he suddenly committed suicide at his home. In the Michelin Guide published immediately after his death, he maintained his three stars.
He seems to be a mysterious person.
Mr. Hiroshi Yamaguchi, the general manager and executive chef of the Kobe Kitano Hotel, was directly approved by Mr. Loiseau to reproduce the world’s best breakfast.
He has evolved the continental style with a Japanese twist.
Breakfast inherited from the famous French restaurant La Côte d’Or (now Relais Bernard Loiseau)…
Ah~ It must be delicious!
I’m curious to know what it is…
Crispy croissants made with French wheat and butter dough and natural yeast, folded in layers…
Six kinds of bread made with the finest ingredients and flavors,
such as financier and brioche with the aroma of butter…
Three kinds of butter.
Handmade confiture with the texture of apples, raspberries and other fruits.
In addition to orange juice and grapefruit juice,
there are four kinds of brightly colored juices that change daily: “Drinking Salad”.
The “Drinking Salad” was invented by Mr. Yamaguchi so that even continental-style breakfasts that do not include a raw salad can still include vegetables and fruits☆
It is a mixture of about 30 to 40 different ingredients such as oranges, tomatoes, spinach, etc., and is nutritious from the morning!
The yogurt from Tamba has a strong sour taste similar to that of French yogurt.
The perfect match for this is the honey from chestnut blossoms, known as a rare ingredient.
Its bitter and punchy flavor, more than ordinary ones, matches the acidity of the yogurt♪
And then, the rich yolk of a half-boiled egg from Tamba Jidori chicken or ham…
The eggs are cracked using a special egg cutter.
What a…
Celebrity!
Breakfast hours are from 7:30 to 10:00 (last order) *Close at 11:00
Basically, guests with a breakfast plan (reference price: 23,000 yen/person – 51,000 yen/person) are given priority,
but if there is room, breakfast-only guests are also welcome.
Breakfast only is available from 8,600 yen,
and reservations are accepted from two months in advance.
Ahhh~~!
A little expensive for breakfast,
but I definitely want to visit this hotel someday！！！
