I went to "Brasserie HxM", French Restaurant in Hiratsuka owned by Mr.Aiyama who was a ex-manager of "AUMIRADO", one of the top restaurants in Japan.
I met Mr.Aiyama ten years ago as my client when I worked for YAMAYA Ikebukuro.
I had wanted to visit to HxM since he had opened the restaurant in 2002. I knew the restaurant had very good reputations and was filled to tables every day.
I was really impressed that all foods were outstanding. I was sure that they were one of the best French Cusines I had had in this several years.

"Gougere"
"Mash Potate"
"Tuna Terrine"
"Galette Smoke Salmon"
"Roast Duck".
I was amazed the prices are really reasonable !
Also the service of all staff was a perfect ! Wine list was a fabulous, too !

1st
Verget Macon Villages 2002
3500 yen at the restaurant

I love Verget 2002 ! I could not believe this was in class of Macon Villages AOC. It was a really nice Burgundy White ! I felt a hint of herb at first then felt a very nice hint of minerals , then finally felt a big volume of a very impressive fruits.
2nd
Nicolas Potel Pommard Vignots 2000
8000 yen at the restaurant

I was not able to stand for ordering this even though there were a lot of very good reasonable red wines on the list, for example Bellecourt Pinot Noir. This was an amazing Pinot Noir ! I was shacked my heart very much. Oh ! What a wonderful "Pinot" was this ! I thought 8000 yen was too much reasonable !
  

I had a really pleasant time here. I was impressed very very much. What a wonderful restaurant here was !
Hiratsuka is located Shonan Sea side area in Kanagawa. You may think it is far from Tokyo but it takes only one hour from Shinjuku taking JR Shonan Line. I strongly recommend to came here from Tokyo. I am sure you can enjoy the restaurant very much.
Thanks a lot for Mr.Aiyama and Mr. Kikuchi, chef de cuisine.
