Our Adventures in Japan: tankuma

Tuesday, March 15, 2022

Saturday we gathered to put MIL's remains into the family grave.

It was actually MIL's birthday, she would have been 93.

The weather was beautiful and there were lots of ume trees in bloom.

After the service, lunch was at Rhiga Royal Kyoto's Tankuma.

Since explaining each dish is difficult, I'll tell you what I know and leave the rest to the photos.

Takenoko (bamboo shoots), nanohana (rape blossoms), etc.

Ebi shinjo (shrimp dumpling)

Sashimi

Misoyaki salmon..this was so delicious!

Takenoko nimono (simmered bamboo shoots & veggies)

Sunamono (vinegar marinated foods)

Takenoko gohan (bamboo shoot rice)

I loved all the dishes that the food was served in.

It was a very filling meal too.

I'm glad we were able to gather and thankful that BIL and SIL took care of all the arrangements.
