ODEN of KONAKARA in Shin-MARUBIRU near Tokyo Station
1300 YEN
Oden is Japanese stew including many ingredients such as Japanese radish, a konjak, dumplings, a fish ball, Hampen, kelp, fried tofu and so on.
This restaurant's taste is light and elegant.
Above all, its originality stands out.
I think all the food are made from the first step.
Of course, I ordered Japanese radishi (DAIKON), a fish ball (TSUMIRE) and fried tofu (GANMODOKI).
Rice topped with soboro, or minced chicken meat, is also delicious.
Another day, I visited and ordered Udon and Oden set
Yellow one is Konjak, which is really full of origuinality.
Texture is interesting.
I wonder how they are made.
SUJU DINING in Tokyo station
(1) Miso-simmered mackerel 1450 yen
SUJU is originally in Karuizawa, Nagano which is highland resort area, and a typical Japanese cuisine.
All served foods are seen as daily dish in Japanese households.
Miso-simmered mackerel is one of them. Pieces of mackerel are simmered with miso, sweet sake and ginger until getting tender.
Egg plants and Green beans are accompanied with a heap of Japanese onion on the top of that.
Mackerel has some peculiar smell like other bluebacks, and to deodorize it, miso which has strong flavor, ginger and Japanese onion are useful.
But, please be careful for fish bone because they are not removed...
Mushroom miso soup is one of my favorites. I think it is the best in Miso soup.
This restaurant's is also good.
(2) Grilled salmon
The next time I order Grilled salmon.
Suju is famous for miso, so Miso is also put on salmon.
(Of course, there are many dishes without miso, do not worry)
Likewise soy sauce, miso can tend to get burned easily.
Salmon is grilled to reach the desired tenderness and even skin is delicious with good texture.
