"Okume also offers a streamlined menu of lovely teishoku (from $35; available starting at 11 A.M., just under the breakfast wire), featuring fish flown in from Tokyo (steam-baked salmon; mackerel dried in volcanic ash) plus miso soup made from the house dashi, rice, pickled cucumbers, green or roasted buckwheat tea, and sides such as simmered kabocha, recently, and deep-fried eggplant soaked in dashi." - Hannah Goldfield
