Finally, a top notch, good value kaiseki lunch. You get a lot of luxury / seasonal ingredients here, such as fugu shirako, the fugu itself as sashimi and karaage, uni, karasumi, shiro amadai, densuke anago, crab, etc.), so for ¥25,000 it’s a really good value.
Some of the dishes might be confusing for unaccustomed palates (e.g. moroko — a seasonal fish that’s a specialty of Biwako. The massive sardines cooked and eaten with bones, innards, and all. And the wild boar from Gifu). But I enjoyed it very much. In particular, the boar was elevated by the kinomi sauce and was honestly better than the boar I had in Yanagiya many years back. While the iwashi, eaten all together, was as bitter/sweet as any ayu in peak season (with bonus roe inside).
Reservations are getting increasingly hard to come by on Omakase, but I hope I can return for dinner on my next holiday. Matane~
