I thought this was a large bar before I went because it was a popular dining bar on the Internet, but there are only fifteen tables and five counter seats and only three staff. It's a not large bar. Uguisu gives a high priority to wine and vegetables.
The staff has a lot of knowledge of wine. Before we ordered, the waitress explained about the red wines, white wines and sparkling wines that customers often want. Then I ordered sparkling wine. I drank two kinds of sparkling wine. Both were more mellow than any wine I've ever drunk. The dishes were also nice! We ordered several dishes, and we especially liked the Sauteed Duck. It came with many kinds of vegetables that I've never eaten. We sat at a counter seat, so the staff explained about the vegetables. He said "Today is the last business day of this year, and we'll take vacation for some time from tomorrow, so we used more ingredients than usual." We were so lucky!
For desert, we ordered Cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake. The Cheesecake had a rich cheese taste. I think it was a good match with the wine. The Strawberry Shortcake was fluffy sponge cake and had a cream taste. Both were delicious.
Uguisu is a nice dining bar. The wine and dishes were delicious, and the interior and atmosphere were good. Above all the staff were polite. I want to go there again, and then I'll try other wine and dishes. There are not so many seats, so I recommend making a reservation if you want to go there.
