Among all the seasonal vegetables, I picked very rare and short-seasoned “Daimyo-dake” bamboo shoot, kinshin-sai plant on skewers, and purple asparagus to grill. Beautiful.

I had mozuku seaweed cold soba. Tons of slimy mozuku seaweed with thinly-sliced myoga, grated ginger, and kabosu citrus slice. Fantastic.
