About an 8-9 minute walk from Joushin Station, Hana Ichi is a charming house quietly nestled in a residential area.Inside, you remove your shoes and step up to a cozy counter with a sunken kotatsu, where a relaxed atmosphere allows time to flow gently.On this day, I visited with three friends. Thank you to our organizer for a wonderful gathering! m(_ _)mAt Hana Ichi, there isn’t a fixed course; each person orders the dishes they wish to enjoy that day.The appeal lies in savoring each dish made with seasonal ingredients, allowing everyone to enjoy their own selections.Here’s what we had that day:☆ Sashimi (Spanish mackerel, squid, and sea bream with a light glaze) ☆ Water eggplant and scallop with ginger miso ☆ Shrimp and shiitake mushroom with soy sauce ☆ Kakuyaki ☆ Dashi rolled omelet ☆ Hanpen (fish cake) ☆ Tempura of squid and dried sweet potato ☆ Grilled beef with myoga ☆ Tempura rice balls (3 pieces) ☆ Simmered udon ☆ Additional tempura rice ball (1 piece) We started with the fresh sashimi, where the delicate flavor of the Spanish mackerel was outstanding! The sweet squid and the fragrant sea bream with a light glaze were all delicious.The shrimp and shiitake mushroom dish had a gentle flavor that highlighted the ingredients' natural tastes.The dashi rolled omelet was fluffy and perfectly cooked.The hanpen, made fresh right in front of us, was warm and comforting.I absolutely loved the tempura of squid and dried sweet potato, with the squid's texture and the natural sweetness of the sweet potato.The grilled beef with myoga had a delightful combination of the beef's richness and the refreshing aroma of myoga.The tempura rice balls were out of this world—I couldn't stop enjoying them! ♡Thank you to our organizer once again! m(_ _)mIt was a great meal!
