I visited Tominokoji Yamagishi in Kyoto for the first time in four months!The ingredients have completely changed since my spring visit, and this time, I was treated to the flavors of summer.From the hamo (pike eel) from Kariya to the ayu (sweetfish) from the Kamo River, everything was exceptional. However, what stood out the most that day was the pressed sushi featuring hamo paired with ume (plum) paste.Hamo, ume, rice, and nori (seaweed) all complemented each other perfectly!After just one bite, I thought, "I really like this."Of course, all the other dishes were wonderful too, but this one was so shockingly delicious that I found myself wishing for a few more pieces.To finish off my meal at Tominokoji Yamagishi, I enjoyed some matcha.In spring, it was bamboo shoots and flower pepper.This time, it was hamo from Kariya and ayu from the Kamo River.Even at the same restaurant, the changing seasons bring new delights.It was a precious experience, feeling the end of summer just a little.Thank you for the invitation and the wonderful meal.It was a great meal.
