We stumbled upon Kawase as we were walking back from the Ao Dokutsu to Shibuya station.
A tiny eatery they bring in ingredients from Kanazawa Prefecture.
The tsukidashi (stuff you don't order but have to pay for)...sweet potato simmered in citrus.
Sashimi
Buri (amberjack) Daikon...the fish was so tender you could swear it was melt in your mouth pork...
Potato salad wrapped with pieces of buri...interesting but super delicious. Potato salad is wrapped with a piece of buri then grilled.
Kaga veggie tempura...Vegetables of the Kaga area of Kanazawa...renkon (lotus root), sweet potato, fugu (puffer fish), kinjiso (okinawan spinach), heta murasaki nasu (eggplant), kaga tsurumame (type of bean).
They also had hot pots on their menu, but they need to be pre-ordered.
Overall though, service was pretty good and the food tasty...we'll be back.

wow, fugu! took me by surprise (eh, the visuals and all), but the sweet potato cooked in citrus sounded really interesting.
ReplyDeletetook me by surprise too Rowena, was only expecting tempura veggies :) maybe after I do all this stuff with my Flickr (about 3 years worth of posts to go!)...I'll try a recipe with the sweet potato in citrus.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
