This was my third visit to Onjaku, and right from the start, I was delighted to find a specially designed menu in a soft yellow color placed at my seat.A female staff member remembered our previous conversation and recommended a Japanese sake that wasn’t on the regular menu, creating a special menu just for me (*´꒳`*). The sake, especially the Sake, was delicious, and I ended up ordering a second round after trying it all. ^ ^The dishes made with carefully selected local ingredients were once again outstanding, featuring items like Jindo squid and young horse mackerel.Among them, the grilled eel wrapped in a thin skin and the Ise lobster simmered in its shell left a lasting impression. The owner, Sugiyama, explained that the eel was wrapped with Daura burdock and kinome, reinterpreting the concept of Yawata-maki. ^_^As for the Ise lobster, it’s typically served with the shell, but here it was served without it, as the shell was used to create the flavorful broth.The owner not only reinterpreted traditional dishes to enhance their flavors but also made them easier to eat by wrapping them in skin or removing the shells beforehand. (*´∀｀*)Thank you very much.It was a great meal.⭐️ Horse Mackerel Wrapped in Kinta with Plum Paste⭐️ Grilled Jindo Squid with Squid Ink Salt and Snap Peas⭐️ Lightly Fried Young Horse Mackerel Caught This Morning⭐️ Soup with Amadai, Bracken, Shiitake, and Baby Yuzu⭐️ Sashimi of Aori Squid and Hanadai⭐️ Fried Ginger Shiso with Edamame and Tomato⭐️ Grilled Eel Wrapped (with Daura Burdock and Kinome, reinterpreting Yawata-maki) and Romaine Lettuce⭐️ Ise Lobster Simmered Without Shell, with Broth Sauce, Lotus Root Cake, and Butterbur⭐️ White Asparagus in Sesame Sauce⭐️ Grilled Kinmedai with Sansho Soy Sauce⭐️ Slowly Grilled Turnip (with the leaves served for hand-eating)⭐️ Simmered Young Ginger⭐️ Yui's Sakura Shrimp Rice (with a second helping)⭐️ Marinated Hirama Salmon Rice (large portion)⭐️ Chilled Sesame Chazuke⭐️ Natsumi and Kawachi Bankan with Hamagou Syrup⭐️ Wild Vegetable Mochi with Tara-no-me, Udo, Barley, Walnuts, White Miso Paste, and Kinome⭐️ Thin Matcha⭐️ Japanese Sake and Others:Miyazaki Yamabuki Hazuki Junmai GinjoTsuchida Junmai Ginjo NamamotoSake Junmai Ginjo YamadanishikiOmine 3 Grain YamadanishikiKouei Kiku Tokubetsu Junmai Sukai SeikaiKaiun Denpase Masayoshi Daiginjo YamadanishikiSake Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki (second helping)Mineral Water
