A classic! Capricciosa ``His Spaghetti with Tomato and Garlic'' is a must-try.



Shining in the history of Japanese spaghetti!
Capricciosa's ``Tomato and Garlic Spaghetti'' is a must-try.

The Neapolitan that I introduced earlier is, of course, the typical Japanese spaghetti. This time I explored places other than Neapolitan. So, the classicCapricciosaIntroducing ``Tomato and Garlic Spaghetti.''

 

Below, I will list some of the famous Neapolitan restaurants that I introduced earlier.

 

 

Lodge Akaishi in Asakusa is a famous Neapolitan restaurant. This is a store I would like to visit every day.
Asakusa/Lodge Akaishi's Neapolitan is the No.1 in Tokyo! This is spaghetti for Japanese people!

Little Koiwai, Yoshikami, and Komiya are also delicious Neapolitan Western restaurants. Must read.




Capricciosa is an Italian restaurant chain. The original founder, Mr. Masaaki Honda, moved to Italy in 1962 and graduated from a national hotel school with the highest honors. He is the kind of person who has even won prizes in cooking contests in Europe. He was the first generation to bring Italian cuisine to Japan in the 1970s, and opened his first restaurant in 1978, apparently with a very authentic bent (unfortunately, he passed away 10 years later).



I'm imagining a popular restaurant in Southern Italy, but the tomatoes I use are all from Puglia. Therefore, it can be said that this restaurant clearly stands out from other Italian chain restaurants. Overall, it's exceptionally delicious. What I would like to introduce here is "Tomato and Garlic Spaghetti". It seems like it has been the most popular song for over 40 years, so there are probably many people who knew about it a long time ago. I'm sorry.

 

Of course, this is something that probably doesn't exist in Italy. As soon as it was delivered, the smell of garlic wafted up. That's amazing.



What I am reminded of is a story I heard from a chef who knows Italian cuisine from north to south. In Italy, the further south you go, the more garlic you add. Sometimes there are a lot of them. However, if you go north, you can only extract garlic for flavoring. For example, in Milan, if there was a trace of garlic left in a plate of pasta, fellow chefs would ask, ``Are you trying to kill me?''

 

 

In that sense, if someone from northern Italy ate ``spaghetti with tomatoes and garlic,'' they might die (lol). Or rather, it's probably an impossible pasta. It might be popular with Italians from south of Naples or Sicily.




However, the idea of ​​eating garlic itself, fried until fluffy like lily bulbs, as one of the important ingredients, must be Japanese.

 

 

When I ate it for the first time, I was quite surprised. After all, it's delicious. Thickly sliced ​​garlic is really good. It contains about 1 pieces. The tomato sauce is also rich and has a strong sweetness. The sweetness reminds me of the summer tomato Pomodoro I had in Sorrento, Italy (from a distance). Onions also add a nice sweetness. The sauce clings to the pasta, so it's delicious to the last bite.



Because it's a central kitchen, the taste will probably be the same no matter where you eat it. I haven't tried it, but it seems like it's also sold as a frozen food. What a corn snack! It has also become

 

If you have never been to Capricciosa, don't be fooled, why not try it once? Damn it, you'll be taken out.

What does "If you don't eat this, your life is ruined" mean?
When he hears something delicious, he rushes east and west to eat it all. Rumor has it that he might be the Brillat-Savarin of Reiwa, or even the return of Furukawa Roppa. Bassey is an editor with over 40 years of food-loving experience. A heart-wrenching gourmet essay.

In addition to Japan, he regularly goes to Hong Kong to eat Chinese food at his own expense, and also travels to Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul for delicious food. During his time as the editor-in-chief of a travel magazine, he visited many Michelin-rated restaurants around the world, especially in Europe, and later on in the World's Best 50 restaurants. We want everyone who loves food to try ``Crab Miso Bean Paste Noodles'' from ``Tenkorou'' (Hong Kong). Actually, I like the Chinese food at this restaurant the best in the world. Another example of the best Western food is "El Seger de Can Roca" from Girona, Spain, which was ranked number one on the World's Best 50 list. Ah, I want to go there again.
