Been to Zi Nen Ya 自然屋 quite a number of times now, but usually for dinner. In my head it is always competing with it's nearby Japanese joint Sushi Kato 寿司加藤. Both have highs and lows during lunch or dinner. Over here at Zi Nen Ya, a few things definitely stand out. The Fried Tofu and Eel 豆腐鰻はさみ揚げ, Ume Shiso Maki 梅紫蘇巻き, and during lunch time their $90 3 Colored Chirashi Rice 三色丼.Chawanmushi 茶碗蒸し - Steam Egg Custard Part of the $90 Lunch Course. There are mushrooms and chicken pieces.
Chawanmushi 茶碗蒸し - Steam Egg Custard Part of the $90 Lunch Course. There are mushrooms and chicken pieces. Can't find Mitsuba, Gingko or Crab meat. A little HEA but in fact this was steamed smoothly well with right amount of dashi stock. I will accept it for lunch. ~ 6/10
.
$90 3 Colored Chirashi Set Lunch -The Miso soup is average. The appetizer was a piece of daikon.
.
Self-Selected 3 Colored Rice - with Japanese Sea Urchin, Buri Hamachi, Salmon Ikura Roes and Eggs - FFS only $90 including all the above and belowI can refer you to places serving better quality easily, but over here the pricing point is so attractive and the quality is decent, albeit not many seafood adorns the rice. But I challenge you to find any better deal in town and made by a proper Japanese chef in town. ~ 6.9/10
.
Ice Cream Mochi to finish -All inclusive and this is sort of tiny. But it's enough for lunch and appropriate.
**********************
$90 + $9 Service Charge = $100
That's cheaper than most ramen shops nowadays. What a pity I don't get to stay near my house during lunch time periods, or I will have this everyday.
