Restaurant

"The four founders of the company will welcome visitors and do their best, like lions, even in the smallest things." "RAI4" is a store named after such solidarity among friends. Now, each of them has realized their dreams and expanded to four stores, but Takahiro Narukawa calls the first store, which he is the representative of, a ``general izakaya'' with the concept of ``having everything.''

In a playful space that resembles a "toy box," you can enjoy creative cuisine that is inspired by local production and local consumption. Mr. Narukawa values ​​human connections, especially when dealing with local products, such as selecting fish by talking directly with the auctioneer at Numazu Port and purchasing vegetables and meat from local producers through JA. Dishes that make use of such proud ingredients are perfect for enjoying with friends and alcohol.

On the other hand, even during the coronavirus pandemic, we are collaborating with restaurants in Mishima City to hold sales events for bento boxes made with Mishima vegetables, and we are holding demonstrations of cooking to get local children interested in the food and beverage industry. Mr. Narukawa is energetically active in building ties with the local community, such as by holding a ``Manpuku Kids Cafe'' where children can play. I will continue to do my best to enliven my beloved Mishima and make it better through food.

``Fresh Fish Carpaccio'' uses the day's recommended fish, purchased first thing in the morning from Numazu Port. This day is Ishidai. The sauces are also changed to match the fish best, such as basil flavor, salt and pepper, and olive oil.

The homely restaurant is often used for wedding after-parties, and Narukawa says, ``I would be happy if the keyword 'RAI2' could be included in someone's life story.''
