A Cool and Refreshing Pairing Perfect for Hot Days

BISTRO CHURA is launching its summer-only menu again this year.

This time, there are three new limited-time menu items.

We focused on a cool and refreshing feel so that they can be enjoyed lightly even on hot days. Please enjoy the pairing of each of the three dishes – appetizer, main, and dessert – with natural wine.

Limited-Time Menu Overview

○ Sea Bream Carpaccio ~Chura-style Vierge Sauce~

¥1,580 (tax included)

Enjoy this carpaccio, fragrant with the acidity of Okinawan shikuwasa, with white wine.

Vierge sauce is a French-origin sauce finished without heating, made by tossing diced tomatoes and herbs with olive oil and lemon juice.

Furthermore, by adding Okinawan specialty shikuwasa, island pepper, and soy sauce koji, it becomes a dish that enhances the umami of the sea bream with its refreshing acidity, making it a cool treat.

○ Cold Okinawa Soba with Sea Grapes ~Topped with Shikuwasa Granita~

¥1,280 (tax included)

A exquisite dish where the popping texture of sea grapes and the icy crunch of shikuwasa granita become addictive.

This is a summer version of BISTRO CHURA's very popular regular menu item, "Okinawa Soba."

While retaining the umami and richness of our secret broth, it has been transformed into a refreshing cold Okinawa soba that can be enjoyed with the tartness of shikuwasa and the flavor of sea grapes.

○ Brown Sugar Panna Cotta with Pineapple Sauce

¥780 (tax included)

A dessert that allows you to experience the pairing of the refreshing acidity of pineapple and the gentle sweetness of brown sugar-flavored panna cotta.

Brown sugar is used for the panna cotta, and pineapple sauce, a representative summer fruit, is added for a fresh taste.

Furthermore, it is topped with pineapple stewed in white wine, making it a dessert that pairs well with natural wine.

About BISTRO CHURA

BISTRO CHURA Interior Image

BISTRO CHURA opened on February 9, 2024, in Shinjuku Sanchome.

The interior, with an American mid-century concept, offers a sophisticated yet calm space, making it a restaurant where you can spend quality time with loved ones. The cuisine offered is based on Okinawan food, fused with a French bistro style that matches natural wines.

Enjoy the pairing of creative Okinawan cuisine and natural wines in a sophisticated adult space.

The natural wines handled are what are commonly called natural wines, produced using the natural power of nature with almost no chemical agents or artificial additives added throughout all processes from harvest to brewing.

"BISTRO CHURA" was born from the desire of Kaori Fukasawa, who loves Okinawan cuisine and natural wines, to "let more people know about natural wines and Okinawan cuisine, to let them enjoy them casually and with pleasure, and to contribute to a sustainable society through the field of food."

Since its opening, in response to customer feedback, all staff members have been working to "create a store where customers can have a better time."

We will continue to strive to be a restaurant that contributes to society through dining, centered in Shinjuku.
