I visited my favorite Kamakura Kitajima the day before my birthday. It’s a 15-minute walk from Kamakura Station, and I would prefer to take a taxi, but it’s been difficult to catch one lately.The beautiful garden at Kitajima is well-known for its exquisite seafood, and today was no exception.◆ Edamame in Yoshino-style with a half chawanmushi underneath ◆ Kashiwa-mochi style (white fish paste with yam, filled with braised pork) ◆ Makogarei (flatfish) ◆ Aori-ika (bigfin reef squid) ◆ Yomogi tofu and abalone soup ◆ Oomon-hata (grouper) with crispy scales and two types of grilled bamboo shoots ◆ Fried Sazima octopus ◆ Asparagus and clam somen ◆ Eel, new onions, winter melon, and maru broth ◆ Aji (horse mackerel) sushi ◆ Oakamuro-aji (red sea bream) marinated rice bowl ◆ Tachiuo (beltfish) mixed rice ◆ Leaf wasabi porridge ◆ Chigasaki sake brewery "Kumazawa Shuzou" Ten-sei sake lees ice cream with mango ◆ Blueberry and burdock wagashi (Japanese sweets) ◆ Usucha (thin tea) As always, the seafood was truly delicious. The last five rice dishes were exceptionally good. This time, instead of the usual tuna marinated rice bowl, I had the marinated Oakamuro-aji, which was delightful.On this day, the chef kindly surprised me with a Baumkuchen and flowers.
