🥕 Omakase Course: ¥11,000
Course Menu
Azuki porridge
→ It contains cod milt, which goes perfectly with the azuki; gold leaf is placed on top.
Sea cucumber and azuki vinegar dish
→ The azuki vinegar is fresh!
The sweetness of azuki surprisingly matches the sourness of the vinegar.
Fried fugu
→ The flavor clings well to the coating and is delicious.
Tempura of tara no me (tender sprout) and kogomi (fern)
White miso soup
→ Contains mochi, satoimo (Japanese taro), daikon, and spinach; the satoimo is very sweet and has a flavor reminiscent of sweet sake. The white miso base is a bit sweet, and the mustard sharpens the sweetness, making it easy to drink.
Fugu
→ Served with chives, plum, and wasabi.
Fugu eaten with a dipping sauce is bliss.
You could eat as much as you want; rather, you’d want to eat more.
Grilled meizuna
→ The plum sauce is extremely delicious. The plum is not overwhelming, retaining sweetness while perfectly complementing the meizuna.
(Imagine a sauce like yakitori with plum, but more refined.)
The namasu has just the right crunch, pairing well with the sauce.
Yellowtail and red daikon sandwich
→ Fresh green onions are underneath, topped with vinegared miso and jelly. Very refreshing!
Seris and sea bream with grated daikon
Clay pot rice
→ Mackerel sushi, beef tendon with eggs, and tororo rice
Dried persimmon and walnut starch grilled
