At the end of August, I finally visited Onjaku in Yaizu, a place I had long wanted to try. The dishes served in this serene space are all exquisite, showcasing the perfect harmony of top-quality ingredients from Suruga Bay and seasonal flavors.The soup: As soon as I opened the lid, a rich aroma filled the air. The gentle yet robust dashi, concentrated with the essence of the ingredients, truly warmed my body.Sashimi and more: The fish had been expertly aged and cut, revealing its umami, and the cooking technique was remarkable. The contrast between the fragrant skin and the moist texture of the flesh was outstanding.Seasonal preparations: The dishes featured seasonal ingredients unique to August, and not only were they visually stunning, but each bite allowed me to savor the flavors of the season. The warm hospitality of the chef and the pleasant distance in service made for a delightful experience, filling all my senses. I would love to return to this remarkable restaurant to experience its seasonal offerings again.
