I was impressed by the deliciousness of the clay pot rice when I visited "Ginza Ka.Yoshi" for work once, and I wanted to go there again. On this day, I ordered the "Shingetsu Course" for 12,000 yen (excluding tax), which consisted of a total of 8 items: Appetizer "Deep-fried Hon Shishamo", Cold Dish "Miyazaki Chicken Terrine", Hot Dish "Clam in Sea Water", Sashimi "Snow Crab and Potato Salad", Soup "Cod and Shirako", Main Dish "Black Wagyu Brisket Stew", Rice Dish "Golden Eye Snapper with Saikyo Miso and Butterbur", along with "Pickles" and "Drip Soup", and Dessert "Chestnut Mousse" with "Sake Pairing". Particularly memorable were the "Deep-fried Hon Shishamo", "Snow Crab and Potato Salad", "Cod and Shirako", and "Golden Eye Snapper with Saikyo Miso and Butterbur". The presentation of the "Deep-fried Hon Shishamo" was standing up, which I liked. The "Snow Crab and Potato Salad" had a glittery appearance that didn't look like a typical potato salad. The sweetness of the crab meat, the popping texture of the salmon roe, and the smoothness of the potato salad... It was a deliciousness that matched its visual appeal. In winter, I always crave Shirako. I had only tried Shirako with ponzu before, but here I had it in a soup with cod. By the way, the pink ingredient on top is mentaiko. Everything was cod! Lastly, the clay pot rice that I was looking forward to was the "Golden Eye Snapper with Saikyo Miso and Butterbur". First, I tried it as it is. Then, I poured the golden broth over it to make ochazuke. And then, I mixed wasabi, pickled plum, and bonito flakes to make a condiment called "Nishiki-ki" to dissolve in the broth. You can also make onigiri if you can't finish it, and enjoy it for breakfast the next day. The clay pot rice, which is delicious even after some time has passed, is a must-try dish. The sake pairing was also great, and they remembered the sake I had last time and offered a different one, which made me happy. The enjoyment of comparing cold and warm sake, and the pleasure of drinking sake were spot on. As a sake lover, it was a very happy time. Next time, I want to try going for à la carte. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
