shinagawa aoi

Met up with V & A for dinner at Shinagawa Aoi, last night.

Dinner started off with a housemade gomadofu (sesame tofu), and aonori konnyaku (green laver konjac jelly)
 

maguro in yamaimo (chinese yam)

sashimi (ootoro, ika (squid), katsuo (bonito) and akagai (blood clam)

dobinmushi (clay pot that steams dashi (stock), mushrooms and other goodies (ebi shinjo (shrimp ball) sudachi (type of lime))

Eat the goodies and drink the broth

sawara (spanish mackerel) with negi miso sauce

uni (sea urchin) tofu, cream cheese with moromi miso (like an edible soy sauce) and mukago (a super teeny potato) topped with maguro liver?! (not too sure)

sushi (ootoro, tai, chutoro, ebi, anago, bakagai (type of clam), maguro) and sushi rice topped with ikura and uni

dessert: sushi rice topped with caramelized apples, sweet bean paste and house made ice cream...supposedly like an ohagi

All different but delicious dishes!

V generously treated us to dinner and also gave us so many goodies! A also gave us homemade guava jelly.

Thank you so much V & A, we enjoyed hanging out with you, we hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
