For lunch on the last day we headed to a minshuku famous for its crab, but it was their regular day off. -_- So we went straight to a restaurant attached to the nearby fish market instead.
The majestic view of Mt. Daisen
Eating with a view like this isn’t bad at all.
Maguro zuke-don
A rice bowl topped with lean maguro (akami) marinated in soy sauce.
Miso soup
A proper broth made from real fish stock. Who knew there’d be a place like this right next to the market… Prices here were on the high side overall, but it tasted good, so no complaints.
Kani-don
Quite a flashy presentation, right? Compared with the place we originally meant to go, it’s pricier and the contents feel a bit weaker, but at this level it still counts as a good one. Since I can have donburi this good around here any time, I have no reason to bother going all the way to Tsukiji Market.
Kaki fry
It’s winter, so I gave them a try. They were big, so they tasted great, but eating five greasy fried oysters in a row got a bit much. I’m supposed to be dieting these days too, so I’ll have to go easy on fried food from now on.
After the meal I dropped my friend off at the airport. It took about 10 minutes. Glad we made it in time for the flight. I don’t know who’ll come visit next, but just following the same course we did this time should work out fine. I do need to scout out some new good places before then, though. This time the crab place was closed, but I’ll have to go eat crab there once before winter’s over.
