ポークストック
Pork Stock in Kunitachi, Tokyo, is best known for its salads, in which lightly deep-fried vegetables and leafy greens are arranged for color, with each variety given its own seasoning. First-time diners are struck by the careful preparation and the natural sweetness of the vegetables. The meat dishes are richly juicy and pair beautifully with wine, among them charcoal-grilled black-pepper spare ribs and chicken-wing fritto (lightly battered fried wings). The dining room, with a counter made from a single slab of wood alongside table seating, has the warmth of natural wood, making it a relaxed place to enjoy French-style plates. Reservations are recommended.
