There are many types of side dishes, and all of them were well-seasoned and very delicious. The tempura made with lotus root, onion, and broccoli was crispy and had a great texture. The simmered eggplant, cut kelp, shirataki, hijiki, okara, stir-fried celery, enoki mushrooms, sesame-dressed komatsuna, simmered beans, and pumpkin stew were all deliciously prepared with dozens of ingredients. Among them, my absolute favorite was the ginger tsukudani. I was talking with a friend who went with me about wanting to buy some as a souvenir to take home. The rice was also good, including white rice, multigrain rice, and porridge with shiitake mushrooms and aosa. The dessert was also a moringa pudding, which I tried for the first time and was quite rare. I want to go once a month. If possible, I would be happy if you could write down today's menu.
