At Kashiwaya they emphasize on the seasons with seasonal decorations to bring out the comfort in the cuisine to “ryori” (cuisine) that tells the story of the seasons.Went here for lunch and had the 7 course lunch however the number of dishes for each course may change in accordance with the month and/or menu.Ingredients are also seasonal, so what I had today may not be served the next time I come.As I am not familiar with Japanese food I have attached the menu here.For lunch, you need to allow m
Went here for lunch and had the 7 course lunch however the number of dishes for each course may change in accordance with the month and/or menu.
Ingredients are also seasonal, so what I had today may not be served the next time I come.As I am not familiar with Japanese food I have attached the menu here.
For lunch, you need to allow more than an hour to finish the course because it takes time.++++++
Kae:
Started with Kae which came in two pieces.
This was duck breast marinated in soy sauce with mushrooms, wasabi and konbu.It was nice and savory with a strong umami taste.
The other piece was herring roe with cod roe, radish and yuzu on top.This was crunchy with a salty briny taste complimented by the refreshing yuzu.
++++++Nimonowan:
This was a warming soup with Japanese turnip and a fishcake.
++++++Tsukuri:
A nice selection of Taitataki, tuna and squid paired with fresh wasabi and sauces.
All of them were fresh and delectable.
++++++Hassun:
I loved this box, the items are specially chosen so that you can taste sweet, sour, bitterness, and spiciness.
The green chili was interesting because they said only one in a thousand is spicy and out of the two one of them was spicy.The fish was perfectly fried to the point that the scales were crispy and curled and the saba sushi was really good.
++++++
Hachimono:
This was crispy sawara fish with Japanese spinach and fresh ginger in a warm clear jelly sauce.++++++
Shokuji:
This was my favourite course because it was rice with Japanese white fishes, okura, onsen egg and seaweed.
There were some pickles on the side to add to the rice.
The green balls are fresh raw Peppercorns which have a numbing taste like Sichuan peppercorns.++++++
Fruit:
Finished with jelly and fruits and the jelly was light and sweet.
The spoon was really pretty and they said there is a special box for them.
