A hidden Italian restaurant in Sumoto

The first restaurant we visited after arriving on Awaji Island was "ETHICA". I had heard that it was a popular restaurant, so even though it was a weekday, I made a reservation in advance. The restaurant is located at the back of an even narrower side street, just down the narrow street of Retro Sumoto. It was a cold day with scattered snow, so we ordered hot wine first. The spices, such as cinnamon, warmed our bodies. Then we ordered the sashimi pasta we were looking forward to, with a soup and salad set. The daikon and kale potage soup was gently seasoned. The salad was topped with sweet potatoes with a cinnamon scent. Then, the long-awaited main dish of pasta arrived! Salmon, amberjack, tuna, sea bream, and squid were lined up, and we dipped them in green onion sauce. The squid ink pasta had a slight salty taste, and was delicious even if we just ate it as is! The noodles were smooth and easy to swallow, yet chewy and elastic. #Awajishima lunch #Sumoto #Awajishima gourmet #Awajishima date
