 The heat has finally abated, giving way to a sense of autumn in the air. There are two seasons for bonito in Japan: spring to early summer when the fish called hatsu-gatsuo travel north on the Kuroshio current; and autumn when cooler sea temperatures prompt the fish to return south, earning them the name modori-gatsuo. The earlier hatsu-gatsuo with its light, refreshing flavor has long been popular among Edoites. The larger late-season modori-gatsuo, in contrast, are filled with rich flavor and plenty of fat. At HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo, we present an array of dishes to showcase this delicious autumn bonito alongside mackerel pike and other distinctively autumn ingredients. We look forward to welcoming you soon. |
Deliciously fatty modori-gatsuo is roasted to aromatic perfection over straw and topped with turnip dressed in mustard miso. The slightly smoky aroma enhances the rich umami of this fish, with its luscious, springy texture.
Straw-roasted bonito ￥1,500
Served from September 2nd to 28th
Established in 1625, Fukumitsuya is Kanazawa’s oldest sake brewery. The KAGATOBI brand was named for the Kaga Domain firefighters charged with protecting the domain’s residence in Edo. They were known for their short tempers as much for their excellent firefighting skills. This sake exhibits the delicious flavor and unique characteristics of the carefully selected sakamai rice it is made with. The clean aftertaste makes it an excellent pairing for our straw-roasted bonito dish. In keeping with customs of the September 9th Chrysanthemum Festival, we serve this sake with floating chrysanthemum petals. We invite you to try this tasty tradition.
180ml ￥1,800
