日本橋 ゆかり

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan last month.
















A 3rd generation run Japanese Cuisine heavy hitter.
Head Chef Kimio Nonaga is amazingly talented, and I honestly don't have the vocabulary to do him justice. So thank god for digital cameras.
Please enjoy.








First dish, compliments of the chef. Redbean rice with yuba and fresh wasabi.








Starters and Sashimi Course


This is a house sake. Nothing out of the ordinary, except for the fact that the sake is a private label sake that could rival just about any superb Junmai Daiginjo out there. WOW WOW WOW!!!

















Next course was to represent the snow falling by using shaved daikon in a thicken dashi broth.
Fried oyster and seasonal vegetables








Saikyo miso marinated white fish








Yuzu fruit bowl seafood stew








Chef Nonaga original dish. Chicken broth, soy milk, dashi and organic egg poridge.
This dish help clench his victory over Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi.










And finally another original dish by Chef Nonaga. Sake gelee with sake kasu almond jelly.
