Here at Tsuru Yoshi, a long-established Japanese restaurant in Nara, you can enjoy refined dishes in a setting that exudes the history of Nara, all while feeling incredibly comfortable.✨ On this day, I was joined by my usual companions, Himeri-chan and the noble gentleman from Naniwa, and oh, genius Shiga-chan was with us too! www Let’s dive into our delightful time together! ❤️ **● Yuzu Bowl** A bowl made from a hollowed-out yuzu! What a charming start to the meal! Inside the yuzu, there’s a rich and creamy white miso sauce enveloping various ingredients, including nameko mushrooms, tender lily bulbs, and oysters. Roasted pine nuts add a lovely crunch!✨ The warm steam rising with the citrus aroma of yuzu stimulates the senses with this exquisite dish! **● Aburi Shima Aji** I was captivated by the stunning autumn leaf-patterned plate adorned with gold leaf.✨ The shima aji (striped jack) was perfectly fatty and delicious! The skin was lightly seared to bring out the ultimate aroma and sweetness of the fat—truly impressive!❣️ Switching to Japanese sake now! w **● Grilled Dish** Underneath a crispy shrimp head tempura, we found juicy barracuda! The tender ginkgo nuts added a delightful touch. ❤️ **● Simmered White Clam and Octopus** Actually, I, Liona♡, am an omnivore and eat just about anything, but... I’m not particularly fond of octopus and squid unless they’re of high quality! So, I absolutely love delicious octopus! The taste of octopus prepared with genuine Japanese cuisine is truly exceptional. This octopus was so tender it practically melted in your mouth!✨ It was packed with umami! The white clam also had an excellent texture!⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾ **● Soup Dish** Here, we enjoyed a comforting soup dish with a gentle dashi flavor.✨ The marriage of carrot shaped like autumn leaves, white fish, and mushrooms was lovely! **● Sashimi** On a vibrant blue plate, the translucent squid and rich, colorful sea urchin beautifully complemented each other in this sashimi dish. It’s also great to enjoy it with some nori tsukudani on the side! **● Aburi Sushi** Here, Chef Makocchan even served us sushi! The quality of the fatty tuna is so memorable for me, Liona♡. It was rich and delicious! ❤️ **● Honsushimo** Despite being the season, it’s been hard to find honsushimo even in Hokkaido lately.✨ I was thrilled to encounter it here in the ancient city of Nara! After all, honsushimo is the best! **● Soup Dish** The gently cooked yuba with a thick sauce beautifully encapsulated the umami of the dashi. Is there anyone who wouldn’t be touched by this? ❤️ I’m glad to be Japanese!＾＾ **● Fried Dish** Shrimp tempura, shrimp yam skin, square bean roots, and Manganji peppers— This artistic fried dish offers a variety of ingredients! The depth of flavor is excellent! **● Clay Pot Rice** The clay pot rice was infused with the rich flavor of grilled fish, with each grain of rice soaked in deliciousness!❣️ The crisp texture of the vegetables layered on top made it absolutely exquisite! This is one of the many specialties here! I even got to take some home, feeling super satisfied as I left the restaurant! I ended up drinking a bit too much sake... What a wonderful place! ❤️ Thank you so much to everyone, including Himeri-chan! Thxxx!!! I wonder how many more reviews I have piled up?
