Summer delicacy

Summer food is!





Half wild Ayu(鮎) fish!
This Ayu fish is gifted by my mum's friend who fishes Ayu and only sell to Authentic Japanese Restaurants.
These Ayu is very high stream of Ota river and very precious delicacy.
(Ayu is only allowed to fish certain period of the year and need to apply permit to fish)

Ayu's best way of eating is just grill it and dip into kind of vinegar (Tade-su).
If the fish is from very clean stream, it taste nice and kind of mos fragrance.




















And also, well chilled watermelon!!
This watermelon sweetness was about 12Degree, not very sweet but cools down our body with Shiokness!




















It is really thankful that we can enjoy seasonal harvest.
