This was my 10th visit to Shutei Tanaka, and I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful dishes and exquisite yakitori with my wife, all infused with the refreshing spirit of early summer.As usual, we opted for the "Omakase" course (JPY 9,800). However, we made a slight change by substituting the regular tsukune for the "Tsukune with Kinkan and Grana Padano Cheese" (+JPY 150), and we also ordered an additional five skewers and a "Nagoya Cochin Curry" to finish off the meal.For drinks, we had four glasses of "Setouchi Lemon High (Sharikkin)" (JPY 700 each).Here’s a detailed account of what we enjoyed during our delightful two-hour dinner, which came to just under JPY 17,000 (JPY 17,000 - α). Truly amazing!【Mie Prefecture Wild Chicken Soup and Dashi】 Kumano Jidori White Soup with Katsuobushi Dashi and Tsukune Aoyuzu, Oka Hijiki, Black Abalone Mushroom ★ The carefully prepared dashi was incredibly delicious. The aroma and texture of the black abalone mushroom strongly supported the rich flavor of the tsukune.【Appetizer】 ◎ Edamame soaked in soy sauce from Miyako Island, Okinawa New Sansho Pepper Soy Sauce New Onion Ponzu from Awaji, Hyogo ★ The vibrant aroma of the new sansho pepper left a strong impression. Simple yet highlighting the sweetness of the new onion, it was delightful!【Mie Prefecture Kumano Jidori White Soup】 Chicken Porridge cooked in White Soup Combined with Hokkaido Kushiro Hairy Crab Dashi Washed Green Onion Ginger ★ A deeply flavorful soup. The exquisite balance of hairy crab dashi and white soup, along with the gentle sweetness of the rice, was comforting.【Yakitori】 Five assorted Kumano Jidori skewers from Kumano City, Mie Prefecture Including one skewer of internal organs from Kuro Satsuma Chicken from Ibusuki, Kagoshima Sasami (breast) with Sabi-yaki ◎ Liver Seseri (neck) Negima (green onion and chicken) Tsukune with Kinkan and Grana Padano Cheese ★ All were excellent, but the cooking of the first skewer, the Sabi-yaki, was outstanding. I was impressed by the skill in cutting and skewering.【Vegetables】 Fried Osaka Water Eggplant with Grated Daikon A bite with Fuji Apple A bite with peeled young ginger Flowering Shiso ★ The sweetness of the Fuji apple matched perfectly with the flavorful water eggplant. Meanwhile, the refreshing aroma of the young ginger was also a great pairing. It’s hard to choose between them!【Other Skewers】 One seasonal vegetable skewer from Toyosu Market Mushroom ★ A skewer that stood out in texture, aroma, and flavor. I was amazed by the difference compared to what I usually eat. So delicious!【Sashimi】 Sashimi Assortment ◎ Ainame, Katsuo, Kocchi Wasabi, Wasabi Leaves, Sudachi, Myoga ★ All had high quality. The roasted skin of the Ainame had a fragrant aroma and sweet fat, while the refreshing seasonal Katsuo and the mild yet flavorful Kocchi complemented the drinks perfectly.【Palate Cleanser】 Assorted Pickles Yam Aonasu Daikon Bettara with skin Yellow and Red Paprika Kaga Cucumber ★ I enjoyed these pickles slowly until the chicken curry to finish. I was impressed by the variety of textures and flavors!【Fried Dishes】 Shizuoka Sakura Shrimp from Suruga Bay Hokkaido Scallop Tempura with Seaweed Moshio (seaweed salt) ★ My wife praised this dish highly. The aroma of the "Sakura Shrimp" during cooking was incredible! The cooking of the scallop was perfect, and the quality of the seaweed was top-notch.【Additional Yakitori (5 skewers)】 Back Liver Wing ◎ Heart Aorta Furisode (chicken wing) Aka (red meat) ◎ ★ All additional yakitori were delicious, making it hard to choose favorites. Among them, the crispy char on the wing contrasted beautifully with the juicy inside, which was truly tasty. Moreover, I was amazed by the exceptional quality of the last skewer, the Aka, which was incredibly delicious as a finale.【Final Meal】 Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) ※ Shared with my wife Chicken Soba White Soup ※ Shared with my wife Kumano Jidori Soup Chicken Curry ◎ ★ The quality of the "Oyakodon" and "Chicken Soba" surpassed that of specialty shops as usual. I finished the soup completely. The "Kumano Jidori Soup Chicken Curry" was also irresistibly aromatic and spicy, and I devoured it.【Drinks】 Setouchi Lemon High (Sharikkin) x 4 glasses ★ Lastly, I want to emphasize again how delicious the "Setouchi Lemon High" is! This drink uses "Kinmiya Shochu" frozen into a slushy form, so unlike regular ice, it stays cold without diluting the alcohol content, allowing you to enjoy a consistently strong lemon high until the end. Plus, the lemon aroma is rich and incredibly tasty! As always, I had four generous glasses.Despite the exquisite seasonal dishes that fully bring out the flavors of the ingredients and the beautifully presented yakitori, the pricing is remarkably reasonable. I am truly impressed.After settling the bill, I made a reservation for our next visit, as usual. Thank you very much.We plan to return in September. It was a great meal!
