Hokuriku & Tokai 2016 (13/29) : Komo dofu and Hooba miso at Kajibashi Shokudou in Takayama (かじ橋食堂)

Local foods of Takayama.

On second day’s morning of our trip to Takayama, we got up early and got out of our hotel for breakfast.
It was still dark and cold, so we warmed ourselves in the Seven Eleven that have good appearance 🙂

高山二日目の朝は、早く起きてホテルを出ました。朝食を食べるため。ただちょっとこちらで時間をつぶすことになりました。

After that we went to Kajibashi Shokudou.
Truthfully speaking, we wanted to go another restaurant, but unfortunately it was closed during winter season.

行こうとしていたお店が冬季休業だそうで、急きょ、こちらへ行くことにしました。･･･って改めて吹雪スゴかったなぁ！

この吹雪ですから、私たちが入ったとき、お店にもお客さんはいませんでした。

This restaurant serve local foods of Takayama like Hooba miso and Komo dofu.

こちらでは、高山の郷土料理、朴葉味噌やこも豆腐をいただけます。

Because of heavy snowfall and it was early morning, there was no guests when we got to there. Though after that a man (maybe tourist from China) and regular customer visited there.

Of course, I ordered Komo dofu set (こもどうふ定食, 850 yen). Konbu seaweed, pickled daikon radish, boiled spinach dressed with sesami sauce (gomaae). So healthy breakfast 🙂

注文したのは、もちろん、こも豆腐定食セット。。昆布に、つけもの、青菜の胡麻和えと、とてもヘルシーな朝ごはん。

“Komo Dofu” is steamed tofu rolled with slatted wood. Firmer than momen dofu (firm tofu). It had springy texture. Maybe it is preserved food. It absorb seasonings well. Though it wasn’t bad, it was seasoned only soy sauce and suger. Very simple.  I needed shichimi pepper and added on these tofu. Spice added it more flavor.

こも豆腐。蒸した豆腐なんです。保存食ですかね。

As you see, it is really simple local breakfast. So, I had precious experience.

My friend ate Hooba miso (朴葉みそ定食, 1200 yen). ”Hooba” is magnolia leaves. Hooba miso is grilled seasoned miso (and some ingredients like mushrooms and vegetables mixed altogether) on the magnolia leaves. But there was only miso. Too sweet for me.

こちらは朴葉味噌。かなり甘めの味噌。

Though snow was letting up, The road was completely covered with snow. And it was still very cold, so we went back to the Seven Eleven and warmed ourselves again. Thanks, Seven 🙂

雪は少しやんでいましたが、あたり一面まっしろ。もう１階セブンイレブンに戻って暖を取ります。セブンカフェありがたや。
