Passing the entrance the narrow corridor continues to the entrance of the restaurant itself. |
Since we were a group of 4, we reserved a private room. Our room was faced to a small courtyard. |
Although it was the tatami room, the table and chairs were set up so that we didn't have to sit on the floor. |
As soon as we arrived, the aperitif (yuzu flavored sake) was served. |
It was well chilled and very refreshing. |
The second dish is the soup with red snapper and a kind of sticky rice cake. Beautiful colors (although the picture did not capture them) - so spring-like! |
The soup was very light yet had an excellent aroma. It was just gorgeous. |
The third dish was octopus and fava beans. octopus was unbelievably soft. My mother was shocked and wanted to know how to cook it so softly. |
And the next was the sushi with mackerel marinated in vinegar. |
The meat was very thick. I don't like this type of sushi very much, but this one was good - no fishy smell at all. |
And the red snapper on the bamboo shoot skin. |
By then, we switched to sake (and already consumed a several small bottles). Here you can choose your own sake glass. |
The next dish was grilled lake fish (I don't know the English name) and shiitake mushroom. |
The mushroom was so thick and juicy. The fish was also very flavorful. My parents were very happy with this dish. |
The dish was kept warm because of a tiny piece of charcoal at the bottom. |
What's next? So exciting to open the cover! |
It was just so good and I didn't want to swallow it... |
By this time, we were quite full, but our meal still continued... |
And finally the rice (with bracken). |
And the pickles. |
I could eat it only one bite. Even my husband was very full. |
And the dessert - green tea sorbet and warabi-mochi (a jelly-like confection made from bracken starch). |
At the very end, a little nice surprise - kompeito ("kompeito" comes from the Portuguese word "confeito", which means a sugar candy). |
