This is my first visit since taking over as the restaurant reviewer.
The presentation has become a bit different from the previous generation, but the taste is still that of a traditional Japanese fine-dining restaurant.
Today's menu features a 6000 yen course.
Starting from the beginning
Grilled Tofu with Sesame
The surrounding part is crispy, while the inside is fluffy.
Eggplant-filled dumpling filling, walnut candy stew, homemade squid in salted sauce, roasted white shrimp, and persimmon white paste.
Chocolatey in bite-sized pieces, adorable and delicious.
Sashimi: Tako of tigerfish, red snapper, salmon
The pufferfish has a great texture, and the sashimi is smooth.
Tsuruko Daikon
Houwa, the radish has spots and stains.
Water Country's Roasted Chicken, served with Orange Sauce
This restaurant-review content should be translated from Japanese to English. The following is the requested translation for segment 14/75:
"Shuukyo Akakoji is really delicious, especially with its sauce."
Sushi Soba, Nasho, Tahini Sangujo
The Satsuma taro is very sweet. When I asked about the type of taro, I heard that it is steamed and then fried. It seems to require a lot of effort and time.
Mushroom rice, miso soup, pickled vegetables
Dessert: Apple Cream Filling Honey
Delicious! The fresh, tart sweetness of the apples is really nice!
Un-un, the kaiseki cuisine is simply outstanding.
Our senior colleague organized a celebration for our retirement.
How grateful I am, how grateful indeed.

Traditional Kaiseki Cuisine
5000円です（税別）
Today was a farewell party for a senior colleague who is retiring. Since there were only four of us who shared meals together, the event was held in a small and cozy setting.
This tea bowl steamed dish features buckwheat seeds, making it delicious. However, the portion seems to be quite small.
Vegetable Butter Roasted Food – Bitter and fragrant, the sauce is delicious. I even licked my plate after eating it.
Sashimi: Saba, abalone, sea urchin. The dashi was also seasoned with fresh ginger, giving it a wonderful aroma.
Hotaru Ika – Sour Miso Sauce
Stewed bamboo shoots – beautifully cooked, with yuba added, offering a delicate flavor
Seien, air beans, Gakkō's cheese rolls, pork stew
The pork croquettes are soft, with a delicious flavor that truly penetrates the dish. The Ibri Gakkko cheese rolls might seem unusual at first glance, but they complement each other perfectly.
Egg Shinjo
Oyaki Zassou
These days, most meals I've eaten were centered around meat. However, Japanese food is gentle on the stomach. It fills the stomach but doesn't cause discomfort. Since the “protagonist” of today wants to come again, I would like to visit again when the season changes.
We had dinner with our usual good friends. First, they greeted us at the entrance.
Goma Tofu, Chard Sushi, Crab, White Fish in Preserved Lemon Sauce, Oyster Cakes, Abalone Stew, Celery Seed Carrot Cake
The grilled dishes include bonito, sea scallops, tuna, and abalone.
Chawan Mushi
Houbou no Yakimono
Stewed vegetables with fresh bamboo shoots and homemade wakame
Sushi
Steamed rice with bamboo shoots and mushrooms; red broth miso soup; aromatic dishes
Ice cream se anmitsu
It may not be flashy, but it's a kaiseki dish that requires careful preparation.
Due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, our restaurant was completely destroyed by a tsunami. It reopened as a smaller establishment. I couldn’t help but want to visit it again, and finally, I managed to make it my own.
First, I ordered sesame tofu—it was fluffy, and I ate it in one bite.
Fresh Local Fish Preparation
Yōzu Tempura
Although it's a smaller size, the shrimp shnjo is wrapped in wakame and fried. The crispy texture is simply irresistible.
etcetera
It doesn’t have much flair, but it has a authentic flavor with the broth added.
It's delicious, but the portion is small.
I believe it will be appreciated by women. It's a simple yet warm way of hosting guests.
