A matcha daifuku (matcha cake with matcha cream, whipped cream wrapped with a thin mochi) and a persimmon cake (fluffy cake with cinnamony cream, whipped cream then covered with kaki (persimmon)
Both were delicious, thank you Satoshi!
The weather was forecasted for rain, but the autumn leaves were apparently at its peak...what to do?!
Since we woke to a rather sunny morning, we got out and about early and walked to Saikoji.
Kinda weird this year probably because the weather has been weird.
To "cheer" ourselves up, we decided to have some coffee and something sweet and popped in at Hashimoto-tei.
I tried their buttercream cake. I didn't see the small print in the showcase which said "rum raisin"...the cake was filled with rum soaked raisins...which totally over-powered the whole cake, you couldn't even taste the buttercream...blah.
It was good, there were bits of yuzu peel here and there, but the majority of the croquette was potato...130 yen.
I also used some leftover boneless fried chicken sticks to make some "sushi".
Just nori, freshly cooked rice, lettuce and chicken...no other seasonings.
We dipped these into a tonkatsu-mayo sauce.
Again, Satoshi, who doesn't care for chicken, gave it a thumbs-up!
Thank goodness the sun came out for the most part of the day.
Dinner was a repeat of savory mille feuille...this time I added eringi, gobo and eggplant to the pork and chinese cabbage. As well as kim chee.
What have you been enjoying?
An awesome foodathon (or so it seems) as always. Love the idea of the chicken sushi and of course savory mille feuille is always good!
ReplyDeleteWill all the green leaves eventually turn red, just later?

I should also add that the eringi ragu with pasta tonight was a winner! Keep up the easy recipes as I am almost always wanting make myself nuts and throw down the gauntlet when it comes to cooking.
ReplyDeleteooh glad it was a hit Rowena :) I love anything that doesn't take much energy and can be "whipped" up in less than 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
