01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
With pastoral views of neighboring fields framed by its windows, La Mohri is an Italian restaurant that makes abundant use of fresh produce harvested from local farms. The opening antipasto platter sets the tone with crisp, juicy vegetables, delicate homemade quiche, and house-made meat and nut pâté, each presented to let natural flavors emerge through gentle seasoning.
Alongside the dishes, the bread baked in-house is a major highlight. Served warm during lunch courses, the basket may include fragrant, springy herb focaccia or aromatic walnut and raisin bread among several daily varieties. Guests enjoy it dipped in olive oil at the table, or used to wipe clean the robust pasta sauces and braised main dish reductions.
The pasta selection features seasonal ingredients, including dishes like spaghetti with homemade bacon and mushrooms. Those with a heartier appetite can choose a lunch course that incorporates meat or fish, providing a balanced and filling meal.
Care is equally evident in the beverage selection. In addition to wine and beer, the non-alcoholic list includes artisanal choices such as Aomori apple juice, Ehime mikan juice, and drinks crafted from ripe mountain grapes sourced from Kuji in Iwate Prefecture, giving designated drivers plenty of thoughtful pairings.
Concluding the meal with coffee or tea alongside an optional dessert—such as baked cheesecake or a Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc tart—makes for a leisurely finish. The premises feature dedicated free parking, making La Mohri a comfortable destination for casual lunches as well as relaxed meals with family and friends.
