in a thick yam foam. Indecently tender beef tongue with braised daikon. Monkfish liver, garnished with a pair of roasted gingko nuts skewered onto a single two-pronged pine needle. Sticky rice with shredded dried-smoked sea bream and pickled plum morsels. Urchin in egg custard, in a tiny cup with a persimmon leaf balanced on top. A completely insanely presented sashimi course (that's the pic).
These morsels were only part of the multi-course kaiseki dinner Toshi's mom treated us to last night, and it was exquisite. Thank you, Hamaguchi-san!
