Rock Salt is famous for serving the Kamameshi rice and there are 10 choices to choose from.Kamameshi means "kettle rice" where Japanese rice is cooked in an iron pot called a kama. The rice at the bottom of the pot gets slightly burnt and this is the best bit as the burnt rice tastes really good infused with other flavours.Originally, the Kamameshi rice was eaten in a big community from a huge pot but this has been scaled down to individual portions.I ordered the Hiroshima Oyster Rice in Kamames

I ordered the Hiroshima Oyster Rice in Kamameshi because oysters have a strong taste which should infuse in the rice nicely when cooked.

When it came, the lid is still on.
You have to wait for the sand timer to finish.
After it has finished, the Kamameshi is ready to eat.
As well as oyster, there were other goodies packed in the rice which made it delicious such as mushrooms, chestnuts, little fishes, shredded omelette, edamame beans and spinach.
Also had the Mashed potato with Purple potato salad and Grilled Duck and scallion skewers.
The mash was filling and I love Japanese mash because of the mayonnaise they use.On top there was mashed purple potato, tobiko and sweet red beans which made it colourful.
The duck skewers were meaty.
Finished with Pineapple Lime Soda which was to my liking as it was very refreshing especially with crushed ice.
Will return as I saw some captivating donburis!
