It seems there was a cancellation, and I happened to find an available seat on Tabelog, so I made a reservation. It’s about a 20-minute walk from Kamakura Station, away from the hustle and bustle. I arrived early and took a break at the nearby Ankokuron-ji Temple before heading to the restaurant. Since it was the season for hydrangeas, I was enveloped in a refreshing atmosphere.I was welcomed just before noon.After enjoying the refreshing natural Kuromoji tea, the course began. The food was, of course, exceptional, but I was particularly overwhelmed by the beauty of the dishes. The view outside was also stunning, making me glad I chose to have lunch here.◻︎ Natural Kuromoji Tea◻︎ Half Steamed Egg Custard The top half of the chawanmushi is topped with seasonal edamame.◻︎ Aori Ika (Squid) with Nori Soy Sauce, Squid Ink Salt, and Sudachi Served on a plate from Kashiwa, which is said to be an antique that can only be used in May.◻︎ Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) from Ito.
