| Saturday 2 December: family lunch with aunts & a cousin in Nagoya, at the Kanazawa-style restaurant Asada again. |
Appetizer (tofu, prawn & veg with yuzu miso sauce) & our cold sake. |
A thin slice of sea bream wrapped around yam-based cake, tenderly steamed with veg in a very delicate broth. |
Sashimi platter: kombu-cured black sea bream (exquisite!), amaebi (big and sweet!) and tuna. |
A little (thick) slice of scallop baked with a light, egg-based sauce, with a gingko nut on top. |
A selection of veg, cooked in a very fine broth again, served with herring wrapped in kombu and cooked in sweet sauce. |
The pudding: cream caramel with fresh fruit - right size for Usakousa :-) |
Huge camellia flowers in the alcove. |
| To Part 7 | |
