After about 8 months, I finally visited my favorite restaurant in Japan again.This time, I came with four friends.The atmosphere remains unchanged, with the chef quietly dedicated to his cooking and the warm presence of the owner, which always brings me comfort.On this day, I was able to enjoy dishes that showcased the summer ingredients typical of Yoshii.The menu included:- Hamo Sushi - Spring Rolls with Water Eggplant and Salted Kombu - Hamo Soup with New Lotus Root Dumplings - Clams and Spicy Daikon - Kintoki Greens - Grilled Hamo with Sea Urchin - Fried Swordfish and Manganji Pepper - Simmered Fig with Sesame - Eel - Rice with Young Ginger, Sweet Shrimp, and New Ginkgo - Yuba Miso Soup - Black Honey Agar I find it hard to express how incredible this meal was. At first glance, the dishes appear simple and unadorned, resembling ordinary food, but once you taste them, their delicate flavors captivate your heart.Of course, the use of top-quality ingredients plays a role, but there’s something inexplicably wonderful about these dishes that goes beyond that.Even the grilled items are not cooked over charcoal, yet they evoke more emotion than those cooked over an open flame.Dining here makes it clear that the food from other restaurants I thought was delicious is on a completely different level.I know my next visit will be quite a while from now, but this is a place I want to keep coming back to.
