Suju in November

Back at Suju ( 一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九, 十, 十一, 十二, 十三, 十四, 十五, 十六, 十七, 十八, 十九, 二十, 二十一) getting some stuff we like. And a few other things.

Tai kabura ni - turnip strips simmered in sea bream broth wrapped in soy marinated sea bream sashimi. Thought I tasted yuzu in it. Nice.

Miso marinated cream cheese with grilled white corn, some pickled daikon and soba chips. Also nice. Love the miso flavour in the cream cheese. Saved some for the Hayashi rice.

The cream was kinda measly here and it was definitely a discernible mellowness it brought to the meat/sauce. So the miso cream cheese we saved from the earlier dish accomplished the same. But did better.

Got the herring himono teishoku like the last time because I couldn't get past the roe in the fish. Today serving was outstanding like then. Seems like the roe might not be just chance and that they use pregnant herring here.

Their black sesame cheese cake was surprisingly light. So light I wouldn't have been surprised if they had said it was made with tofu. I don't know if it was but I don't think so since they'll probably mention if it was. This was loaded with ample black sesame flavour though from both the cream cheese and the very kurogoma-y base.
