Western Food ＆ Candles Otaru Muse
Otaru Travel Guide 2023
The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
Otaru Muse was born out of a desire to provide a candlelit atmosphere, delicious homemade food that makes the most of the ingredients, and wonderful music, all in a setting that is uniquely Otaru. It is a Western-style restaurant opened in Otaru in 2009 by the chef husband, who trained at a restaurant in Toyako Town for about 10 years and takes great care in preparing delicious dishes using carefully selected ingredients, and his wife, who is a candle artist.
It is about a 10-minute walk from Otaru Station on Route 5 toward Sapporo. You will be greeted by a candle-designed protruding sign and an antique English door made in the 1930s that fits perfectly with the exotic atmosphere of Otaru. As soon as you open the door and enter the restaurant, you will feel as if you are in a foreign country with the flickering candlelight of the wife's work, and time will flow more leisurely than usual.
The word "Muse," which is the name of the store, also means "to be pensive". Please enjoy your meal in the candlelight while relaxing, having fun, and sometimes pondering.
The menu is made from scratch with a focus on homemade specialties, creating a taste that can only be found here. They are also very particular about the ingredients and always try to provide safe, delicious, and healthy food.
Their signature dish is the "Stewed Hamburger Steak," made with 100% Kuromatsunai beef and pork. The demi-glace sauce is of course homemade and additive-free, made by slowly simmering tomatoes, other aromatic vegetables, and beef tendon in red wine, and even the herbs used to flavor the meat are grown in-house. The aroma of the sauce, which has been added and aged for years, is mouthwatering.
The lunch menu includes a wide variety of dishes such as soup curry, omelette rice, deep fried food, etc., and is quite moderately priced. The bite-sized oshiruko (sweet bean soup) served with a drink after the meal is a delightful touch. The azuki beans are carefully stewed and the sweetness and saltiness are just right, and the soft white bean curd makes you feel tender. For dinner, in addition to the stewed hamburger steak, the chef offers an extensive dinner course, omelette rice, and a snack menu that goes well with alcoholic drinks.
