Yudofu kaiseki restaurant in Kita-Senju where reservations are hard to come by Finally got a reservation and visited This place is a branch of the Ueno Park kaiseki restaurant "Inshotei" where handmade yudofu and fresh koji lunch course are exquisite The lunch course is available at 9 am and 12 pm Today, we opted for the early 9 am session Upon entering the serene restaurant, steam rising from boiling soybeans at the yudofu field was already visible I was looking forward to the enjoyable explanations from the lively head waiter, but instead, a cute female chef greeted us She usually trains at "Ginza Tsurutokame" and today she was in charge of guiding us to our table On the table were already arranged flat sashimi, fresh sashimi, three types of yudofu, lemon, rock salt, soy sauce, miso sauce, and olive oil dipping sauce Soon, all seats were filled, and the chef greeted us Three types of yudofu were quickly served... Yes, this is it, delicious as always And a toast with "Mango Soy Milk Juice" At this point, looking at the menu, the upcoming "freshly scooped yudofu" was introduced to each table Along with it, a bowl and a container of "white fish egg tofu" Followed by "grilled eel and green apple salad with green apple dressing" The extravagant visuals always surprise me, and the generous portions are impressive Next was the "chestnut gluten and sesame miso tango" The sweetness had a luxurious touch, and the chewy texture was full of umami Then came the freshly scooped "fresh tofu" The firm and pudding-like elasticity in the center was indescribable Again, "Would you like a refill?" Of course, I asked and enjoyed it! While we were eating, the chef walked to the center... "Today's clay pot rice is made with 'edamame rice!'" Along with the rice dish, red miso soup and kombu salt were served, replenishing the salt in my tofu-filled stomach... Yes, delicious, delicious Then, the staff asked again, "Would you like a refill?" Honestly, I was already at my limit, but since I didn't know when I would come back next, I said, "Yes, please!" But I ate too much and couldn't taste the flavors anymore Sweat (Be careful not to overeat delicious food) Then, the closing "gluten manju and bracken rice cake" and "coffee" were placed... The battle with soybeans came to an end A miracle that only selected items can savor Once again, I was defeated today, but I want to be overwhelmed again Full course! Chef, staff, thank you for the smiles And thank you for the delicious meal. Solitary Cafe/Rocutus
