Chapter 353: Garden Style
"Sasanoyuki?"
Kazumiko looked at the signboard and explained, "Sasa is a small thatched hut repaired with bamboo leaves, and in special cases, it also means fine snow. ”
Inoue Rinko walked over with a smile, today she specially wore a set of traditional kimonos, and changed her usual intellectual and capable nature to become soft.
"This is my favorite shop, in the crowded and noisy metropolis, it is rare to have such a clean place, Moqijun, please!"
Mo Qi nodded, walked into the gate first, and just walked a few steps, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire: "What a beautiful garden!" ”
Other people also followed the door, they were surprised by the scene in front of them, I really didn't expect that there was a garden here, a path paved by white pebbles, winding to a small thatched hall, surrounded by green plants and green bamboo, there is a clear pond in the middle, green and clear, a gust of breeze blows, people are shocked, as if they are in nature, it is very comfortable.
"Not bad!"
Mochi nodded, very satisfied with the environment here, this time in Tokyo is noisy and noisy, and the fast-paced life makes everyone breathless and stressful. Suddenly came to a quiet place in the middle of the noise, and closed the door with his hand, as if he was instantly away from the mundane world, and people immediately relaxed.
"Miss Linzi is so tasteful, it's really good here!"
Su Yun exclaimed, and Linzi hurriedly bowed and responded: "It's rare for you to like it, it's really Linzi's honor, please come here!" ”
She first walked in front to lead the way, and led the group to the pre-booked thatched hall with small steps, everyone sat down, and a maid walked in, and the menu was for the guests to choose.
Mo Qi looked at the menu handed by Linzi with both hands, shook his head and smiled: "Guests are at your disposal, please ask Miss Linzi to do it for you!" ”
Linzi nodded, she often comes here, naturally knows what the characteristics are, since she wants to invite Mo Qi, she must eat the best flavor, whisper a few words to the maid, and start ordering.
Looking around, Mochi can see that the owner has taken great care to preserve all traces of time, and it is full of ancient charm, sitting here as if you have returned to the Edo period, giving people the illusion of traveling through time and space.
"It's kind of interesting!" Xiao Li looked around, and whispered to Lu Fang beside him: "The environment is good, but I don't know how the dishes are?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid!" Lu Fang glared at Xiao Li and warned: "People can eat whatever they want, don't talk too much about the rest, you will lose if you talk too much!" ”
"Yes, long-winded!"
Xiao Li waved his hand and nodded in agreement, Inoue Linzi is not a good stubble, and a shrewd woman is the most terrifying. As long as there are good things to eat, the rest will be handed over to Mo Qi and Su Yun, so he doesn't want to worry about it.
"Actually, the best time to be here is in the summer!"
After Linzi finished ordering, she stood up and poured a glass of wine for Mo Qi, and said with a smile: "The guests are dressed in clothes, holding a pu fan, sitting in a pavilion without modern air conditioning, facing the strange stones full of moss, listening to the light and crisp sound of the bamboo birds by the pool, and then tasting the special rice wine here, Jianling, it is really a rare enjoyment!" ”
Mo Qi picked up the wine glass, looked at the pale cyan rice wine inside, raised his nose and smelled it, the fragrance was overflowing, the elegant rice fragrance blended into the sweet mountain spring water, and after a sip, there was a unique taste in his heart.
"Originally, the original names of the dishes here were written on large bamboo leaves, and there were only two types, one was ten dishes, and the other was fifteen, and there were only two sets for customers to choose from."
Inoue Linzi stood up, took the wine bottle and helped everyone present fill it with rice wine in turn, and then handed it to Kazumiko, Xiao Li secretly sighed that the island country is good!
As long as there is a woman at the wine table, no matter how high her status, she must pour wine for the man, which is traditional. It is also a pleasure to watch the well-known beautiful anchors on TV pour themselves wine with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
"Generally speaking, the appetizer sashimi in our island country is mostly sashimi, and a few simple slices are considered appetizers. What makes this place unique is that the sashimi is not fish, but freshly picked up yuba! ”
As he was talking, the maid sent a stack of delicate small plates, the bottom of the red plate was matched with golden yuba, a few pieces, and the fragrance was overflowing, attracting everyone's index fingers.
Mo Qi picked up a piece of yuba and put it in his mouth, but he didn't expect the yuba to melt in his mouth, and the faint bean fragrance filled his mouth, full of relish, and a sweet impact on his taste buds.
Then I picked up another slice and dipped it in some green mustard and thick soy sauce, the slightly pungent taste of wasabi added to the level of yuba, and the soy sauce of the island country is not too salty, full of umami, and it is most suitable for sashimi.
"It's delicious, but it's a pity it's too little!"
Xiao Li put the last piece of yuba in his mouth, it was delicious, but every time he ate, there was a problem, too little, not enough to eat!
The high-end dishes of the island countries are all like this, they are too delicate, the quantity is small, and the price is even more expensive. The reason is that the chef only uses the highest quality ingredients for the dishes and nothing else.
A fish, only the most tender belly can be made into sashimi, and the rest must be thrown away, do you say it can be expensive?
The maid pushed open the door and came up with a second course, and when Kazumiko saw the name, she was surprised: "Thunder tofu? ”
"Yes, this is Lei Tofu!"
Pointing to a plate of colorful dishes, Inoue said, "The tender tofu squeezes out all the water, and with a vegetable called burdock, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, minced meat, and carrots, and stir-fried in sake." ”
"The fire is stir-fried, the iron pot and the spoon keep colliding and roaring, this is the origin of thunder tofu!"
"Pretend!"
Mo Qi smiled sassyly, isn't it fried tofu? You don't have to pretend to be like this!
Pick up a piece, the taste is also good, fragrant and refreshing, and then one dish after another, there are cold vegetables, tofu spread with shredded wooden fish and spinach. Then there is egg tofu, which is not as fishy as eggs, and it is more fragrant than ordinary tofu, which is also a delicacy.
The most special is tofu tempura, which is a deep-fried food in Japanese cuisine made with flour, eggs, and water and a mixture of fresh fish, shrimp, and seasonal vegetables and fried in a pan until golden brown. When eating, the juice made by dipping it in soy sauce and radish puree is tender and delicious, fragrant but not greasy.
Unlike the dough coat of Chinese cuisine, the tempura has a thin coat that resembles golden silk, especially tempura made with vegetables, which is not only thin, but sometimes there is almost no paste on the other side of the leaves. In this way, the tempura can have an oily aroma without absorbing too much oil, which can affect the refreshing original flavor of the filling.
Not only Mochi, but even Kazumiko is the first time to eat tofu tempura, the boxy milky white tofu is wrapped in golden noodles, the skin is crispy, but the tofu inside has been smothered by the high temperature, completely turned into a sweet juice, as soon as you bite down, it instantly bursts out, sweeping the mouth, hot and sweet, making people want to stop.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and Inoue Linzi continued to toast during the banquet, slowly becoming familiar to everyone, especially Su Yun, both of whom were hosts, and they had no chance to chat before, but today they hit it off at first sight, and soon became confidants and friends, which is also fate.
