An old beer brewery factory renovated into an Italian fusion Restaurant located in the Shonan area of Kanagawa Prefecture.  The restaurant can fit in well over 150 people also suit for private reservations. Enjoy the bakery set aside of the restaurant on your way back home.

Come with friends for a nice casual lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Wedding parties are held with a nice party course or a buffet style. Play space is also available for families with small children.

The old machines in the brewery is now used as signs and art to design the restaurant. The wooden building dates back before the war used as a beer brewery for making its original beer the "Shonan Beer."

Appetizer came with the Pizza Lunch menu below

pizza lunch 1380 yen

Avocado and chicken sandwich with Edamame Gazpacho, salad and marinated vegetables 1280yen

Pizza was a satisfactory. The pizza baked in a masonry oven came out crispy on the outside, soft inside. Good variation of toppings! Asparagus, potatoes, Eringi mushrooms, ham, and a hint of spicy chorizo sausages.

Despite its good assessments, I thought the crust could be a bit thinner... It can not be helped that dishes become cold, but it was a bit heavy and chewy by the time we were three quarters finished with the pizza. A bit disappointing to know...

The avocado and chicken sandwich came out a surprise because of its salsa flavoring. I thought the salsa was a good combination as it functions to moisten the chicken breasts as its often firm and rather dry. I especially liked how they used avocados not only they match very well with salsa, but also thickens and mellows the light taste. 

Tea chiffon cake and chocolate pudding

I thought that the price was inexpensive for its volume of the dishes.  Along with appetizers and the lunch plates came drinks and dessert. By the time we were finished with it all, my friend and I were in a food coma. Will have to try different dishes for lunch because they have different variations of pasta and french style lunch plates as well.
