Service: Very friendly and smiling if a bit shy
Facilities & Equipment: Spotless clean. Beautiful washroom. Entirely non-smoking!

Strong points: Great range of reasonably-priced wines from all the world. Hig-class wines offered by the glass. Top Shizuoka Sake by the bottle or glass. Great bistro-style light food and local bakery breads.
La Sommeliere in Shizuoka City is fast acquiring a solid reputation not only for its wines and Shizuoka Sake, but also for its bistro-styles light meals!
Hiromi Hasegawa/長谷川浩美さん Is now offering a home-baked Quiche Lorraine!
I saw it being done and I can tell you this is the real article!
She presently serves cold or hot paired with an Alsace Riesling Wine!
This is all part of a new seasonal light meal pairing proposal:
1) Quiche Lorraine with French Alsace (1200 yen, 700 + 800 yen for separate orders)
2) Cassoulet with French Bordeaux Merlot (1300 yen, 800 + 800 yen for separate orders)
3) Trippa in tmato sauce with Italian Primitivo Wine from the Puglia region (1300 yen, 800 + 800 yen for separate orders)
I don’t have to tell you that more reports are the offing!
This time the Alsace wine is a Riesling produced by GRAND C (12 degrees), bottled by Joseph Cattin in Vooegtlinshoffen.
A dry and fruity white Riesling perfect for seafood, fish, poultry and light food!
I ordered my quiche hot!
Served with a carrot salad, it makes for a very satisfying light meal or snack at any time of the day and night!
The quiche is really elegant and lighter than expected, a sure sign of quality and home-made authenticity!
The eggs and cream are perfectly balanced by the high quality bacon!
And the crust, not that easy to make, is just perfect with the right thickness, lightness and taste thus contributing an important finish!
The ladies will love it!
Mind you, the gentlemen will surely be happy to enjoy such exquisite light traditional cuisine!
The other two sets coming soon!
