“Seafood-cream and handmade-pizza fans can plan a meal around the juicy seared scallops and clinging sea-urchin sauce. Truffle mushroom pizza adds a lightly crisp crust, mushrooms and arugula. The bright wood room works for colleagues or friends, with stringy meat-sauce cheese mash to share.”

Sea Urchin and Scallop Pasta

A pair of Hokkaido scallops are seared pale gold yet remain juicy and springy, joining fresh sea urchin and creamy sauce. The sauce clings to properly firm pasta, bringing sweet seafood, savoriness and silkiness without feeling heavy.

Truffle Wild Mushroom Pizza MetroBites visit photo

Truffle Wild Mushroom Pizza

The fresh-baked crust is lightly crisp outside and chewy within. Clear truffle aroma leaves room for supple mixed mushrooms, fresh-bitter arugula and a little nutty crunch. It is not greasy and shares well.

● Truffle Wild Mushroom Pizza

The baked crust is lightly crisp outside and chewy inside. Truffle is clear but not overpowering; mixed mushrooms add suppleness, arugula fresh bitterness and nuts a crisp accent. It is easy to share without greasiness.

● THE SHIN Special Meat-Sauce Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Long strings of cheese top fine, silky mash, sharpened by savory meat sauce. Spread sauce, cheese and potato together on dry-chewy baguette for layered texture; the portion suits sharing.

💡 Editor's private tip

For three to four diners, share a pizza, order individual pasta and add the cheese mash. Seafood fans should eat the sea-urchin pasta while warm; pizza can be shared slowly afterward. Ask for a window seat for natural-light photos.
