大峯光宏
Today, I finally visited the popular restaurant in Kyoto, “Kamo Ryori Kamo Pato Kyoto,” where I enjoyed a duck course prepared by Master Fujioka, who has years of experience under his belt. The first dishes to arrive were three appetizers: duck breast fillet marinated with kombu, yuba (tofu skin) sashimi, and a dish of tiny sardines and bell peppers with a hint of sansho pepper. The kombu-marinated duck breast was absolutely exquisite, with the addition of myoga (a type of ginger) enhancing its flavor! The sardines and bell pepper dish, reportedly a concoction born from the staff's meals, was also delicious and captivated me right from the start.
Today, I headed to the highly regarded duck specialty restaurant “Kamo Ryori Kamo Pato Kyoto,” where Master Fujioka showcases his culinary skills. We began with a beautifully arranged trio of appetizers. The duck fillet marinated in kombu had a wonderfully sticky texture and an irresistible myoga flavor! The yuba sashimi melted in my mouth, making it hard to put down my chopsticks. There was also the “staff meal-inspired” dish of sardines and bell peppers with sansho pepper—this one delivered a delightful kick and refreshing aroma, making it perfect for pairing with drinks!
The main course was duck shabu-shabu, which only needed a quick five-second dip due to its freshness! As soon as it entered my mouth, the duck melted effortlessly, and the umami flavor exploded. I appreciated being able to enjoy various cuts, like thigh, neck, and breast, each offering different textures and tastes—I was completely enchanted by it.
The soup, enriched with the essence of the duck and complemented by the sweetness of green onions, provided a moment of pure bliss…✨ For the finale, we had a rice and egg porridge made with the expertly concentrated duck broth—simply divine! With every bite, happiness overflowed, and I couldn't help but order another draft beer.
