On this day, I had a meal with some important people. President, Vice President, President, President... hmm, I wonder if it's appropriate for me to be present... although I am also a representative of the company... (;^_^A) In such an atmosphere, we visited a new restaurant. Please click the banner once again today m(__)m. There is another banner at the end B-class Gourmet Ranking Fully Booked. It seems that this day was fully booked. Yukiya is considered a high-end restaurant in Asahikawa. By the way, next to it is Takechan Sushi. I've been there a few times, and this place is also upscale. By the way, at the same time, it seems that Bananaman's Himura was here... I should have greeted him if I had seen him again. Everything was already prepared. When we sat down, the appetizers were already prepared. It seems like we are having a course meal today. I couldn't even look at the menu. I secretly took a photo... I was just focused on that, haha. Oh, I did participate in the conversation properly though. The menu had a seal stamped on it. A special menu for this day. So, I guess it will change if I go tomorrow. I carefully looked at the menu with my aging eyes and enjoyed the dishes one by one. Appetizer: Beef Tataki, Sesame Tofu, Seaweed, Fukura-ni. I don't really remember the taste at this point. Let's just have a drink and relax... haha. I don't remember eating sea snails at all, haha. Sashimi: Bluefin Tuna, Greenland Halibut, Red Snapper. By this time, I had already calmed down, so I was able to enjoy it. It was too early, wasn't it (;^_^A)? The Greenland Halibut was light and delicious. I thought it would be nice to have it with salt. The Red Snapper had a slightly seared surface, and the texture was enjoyable. The sweet shrimp from Hokkaido is indeed exceptionally sweet. The Bluefin Tuna... there was no fishy smell. Grilled Dish: Ginpo Miso Grilled, Winter Melon Wine Stew. What is Ginpo? I looked it up, and it turns out to be a fish smaller than eel but larger than loach, highly valued as a tempura ingredient in Edo-style cuisine. Ginpo is what they call it. The miso seasoning was nice, and I felt like eating a big piece with rice, haha, a B-class gourmet tongue. Hajikami is derived from the meaning "something spicy when chewed with leaves," and it was originally used to describe the bursting of the seeds of Japanese pepper, but it seems that ginger is also used because of its spicy taste. I thought it was Nara pickles at first, but it turned out to be simmered radish. It was delicious, haha. Hot Pot: Hokkaido Beef Sukiyaki. The sauce was quite light. I ate it with beaten egg, but the taste was okay, a bit light. The onions in the ingredients made it feel Hokkaido-like. When I was in Tokyo, even when I ate sukiyaki, I didn't put onions in it. Only green onions. Warm Dish: Kasube Umami Simmered, Taro, Eggplant. I really like Kasube. The gentle seasoning and the crunchy texture of the cartilage were nice. Both the eggplant and taro were soaked in a rich broth, and they were soft and delicious. Fried Dish: Sakura Shrimp Tempura, Asparagus, Baby Corn. The fried food at this kind of restaurant really uses a different kind of oil, doesn't it? There was no greasiness at all. I ate it with salt, but I wonder if this is some kind of special salt? I wanted to try it with matcha salt. It was delicious without the usual tempura dipping sauce. Rice Dish: Nigiri Sushi. Sushi as a meal is quite luxurious. The vinegared rice was just right, and it was delicious. Looking at the others, it seemed that their stomachs were quite full... they didn't eat much sushi. If it's okay, I'll have some... I sent a telepathic message, but it didn't get through. It seems that I don't have telepathy after all, haha. Dessert: Baked Pudding with Sake Lees.
