As the Gion Matsuri approaches, many shrines hold the "Natsu-goshi no Harai" ceremony to cleanse the misfortunes of the past six months and pray for good health in the remaining half of the year. During this time, a "wicker ring" is set up, and the chef greeted us at the beginning of the meal.The first dish represented the "Natsu-goshi no Harai" and the wicker ring, marking the start of a summer feast in Kyoto.┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ໒꒱·゚✯Sansho Tea⁕Corn Soup White corn from Kuwataka Farm Torigai (bird clam), junsai (water shield), and dashi jelly ⁕Grilled Abalone Abalone from Yamaguchi Prefecture, abalone liver and squid ink steamed rice, edamame ⁕Kawazu Shrimp Soup Fresh Kawazu shrimp from Akashi, white asparagus Yuzu resembling the wicker ring, water from Kamigoryo Shrine ⁕Sashimi Akashi squid with its innards Ehime sweet sea bream Akashi meita flounder ⁕Grilled Hamo I Hamo from Akashi Lightly grilled over charcoal, the skin is fragrant while the flesh is sweet and melts in your mouth.⁕Grilled Hamo II Hamo from Akashi Cooked for about 20 seconds longer than the first, this hamo is even more fragrant and fluffy, resembling grilled fish.⁕Kamo Eggplant with Sea Urchin Sea urchin from Oma ⁕Fried Clams Kuwana clams (200g large clams), young corn ⁕Grilled Ayu Young ayu from Lake Biwa, funazushi (fermented carp)⁕Simmered Dish Okose (a type of fish), winter melon, thick fried tofu, myoga (Japanese ginger)⁕Grilled Hatahata Set Grilled Hatahata from Fukui Prefecture Rice, soup, and pickles (water eggplant, cucumber, and simmered bamboo shoots)⁕Cold Soba Dashi made from today’s fish, including sweet sea bream⁕Grilled Pork Rice Grilled Kyoto Tanba pork⁕Tuna and Natto Rice Kyoto natto from Fujiwara Foods near Kuramaguchi Station⁕Mangosteen ⁕Mizu Manju (water dumpling) ⁕Matcha ✯Natural Pear Cider Nature Cidre Poire ✯Perrier ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ໒꒱·゚I am grateful to have enjoyed the "finest hamo dishes" thanks to the chef's exceptional skills and techniques.
