Nowadays, there aren't many gourmet enthusiasts who openly praise Nadaman, a subsidiary of Asahi Beer. However, after visiting this time, I thought to myself, "This place is really good." Although I can only speak for the dishes I had that day, the quality was exceptional. The swordfish charcoal-grilled dish, despite being just one of the items on the grilled platter, had a main dish-like positioning, which was clever. The sashimi was top-notch, with no mediocre fried dishes or strange steaks disrupting the experience. The Kiri Kaiseki course, priced at 26,000 yen, included various dishes such as appetizer with sesame tofu, clam tempura, and simmered sweet potato. The conger eel in the warm dish was excellent. The octopus dish was also impressive, not just with the Shinjo but also with a whole octopus leg skillfully prepared. The sashimi course included bonito and squid, served with mustard miso and various accompaniments. The sea bream with hot broth was a refreshing choice, and the plate change for each dish was a nice touch. The swordfish charcoal-grilled dish and the snapper sushi were enjoyable. The small plate with shrimp caviar, simmered mountain peach, boiled dandelion root, and myoga felt a bit scattered but added color to the meal. The yuba with wasabi was a refreshing palate cleanser. The rice cooked with edamame and salted kelp was simple but tasty. The red miso soup in the soup bowl was satisfying. Dessert included strawberry, cheesecake, and melon. The drink selection featured Asahi Super Dry beer, Nadaman sake, Tsuru Rei honjozo sake, merlot wine, and Black Nikka highball. The name Nadaman comes from its founder, Nadaya Mansuke. Nadaya Mansuke opened a restaurant in Osaka in 1830, combining Nagasaki cuisine with Chinese medicine knowledge. The restaurant gained popularity and was frequented by influential figures in politics, business, and literature. The restaurant also appeared in literary works, such as in a passage from Soseki Natsume's "The Wayfarer."
