to celebrate our one year of dating, purpleman and i tried a new french place today: l'artemis in harajuku.
everything, from our bottle of alsace riesling to the chocoloate mousse with wine sorbet, was excellent. the chef seemed to incorporate a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and mix together spices in an interesting but not-too-complicated fashion. clever, but not cocky. i have to go back for the rabbit with cinammon and cream risotto. i also felt a pang of envy for purpleman's foie gras with truffles and fig (even though i was very happy with my white liver mousse with berries).
the restaurant is not that formal, so i think i could come here again just for a casual dinner with friends. but the food is definitely worthy of special occasions. happy anniversary, sheesergirl-purpleman!
