Lunch in Kamakura
We went to Kamakura last Sunday, after giving Andrew a night to rest up from his journey here. There's a great restaurant there that's called Hatchi No Ki; one half of the resturant serves traditional-style Japanese food, while the other half serves 'shojin ryori', or monks' food. Since the food that monks eat is vegetarian, we went to that half of the restaurant (it's actually a separate building) so that Andrew wouldn't have to pick fish or other bits of meat out of his food. The food at this place is amazing but not exactly cheap. (Thank you again, お父さん)! Here's a sampling of photos from our lunch...
Note to self: Contact dermatologist about having odd growth removed from head
The first dish: eringi mushrooms, snap peas, and fu
Next up: more steamed mushrooms, a spinach and mushroom dish, eggs, and yuba with Japanese radish
Goma dofu (Sesame tofu)...the best goma dofu I've ever had!
Fall greens with (if I remember correctly) mushrooms
Another type of mushrooms in a Japanese radish sauce
Fried Yuba (yuba is the top layer that gets skimmed off when tofu is made)
Spinach and Japanese radish with a sesame-miso sauce
Mushrooms and smashed lotus root in a buckwheat-infused sauce
Dessert was a traditional fall favorite: persimmon
