Tsukiji : Welcome back party at Kashigashira :) (河岸頭)

Last Kashigashira dinner 2014 for me

I had dinner at Kashigashira to welcome one of my acquaintance who came back to Japan from Salzburg.
Recently I usually go Kashigashira on Saturdays’ lunchtime and visiting there at night was after a long long interval.

It was night, so I had no appointment of dentist and I could drink alcoholic drinks freely 🙂
Highball

夜なので、歯医者の予定もないので、心おきなくお酒が飲めますヽ(´ー｀)ノ

With shijimi clam soup (しじみ汁) that is said to be good for licorice 😀

At first, appetizer came.
From left, Capitulum mitella, dried young sardines and cabbage, and vinegared octopus and wakame seaweeds (亀の手, キャベツとしらす, わかめと蛸の酢の物).

お通しでーす。お腹すいてたのであっという間に食べちゃいました～

I felt so hungry and I ate it up so quickly 😛

Vinegared tuna’s skin and cucumber (鮪の皮をきゅうりの酢の物)

なんだかヘルシーな夜！(*´д｀*)

That is healthy ! I love the texture of tuna’s skin 🙂 It’s like hard jelly.

A few nigiri was served at the beginnng of the dinner. This is the Kashigashira style 😀
Marinated tuna with soy sauce and young punctatus (まぐろの漬けとコハダの握り)

この日のちょこっとにぎりはヅケとコハダ(*´д｀*)

Grated daikon soup with oysters (牡蠣みぞれがけ)

ちょ、まって！私牡蠣食べてない！ヽ(`Д´)ﾉｳﾜｧｧｧﾝ!!

So tasty. Umm. But wait. I didn’t eat oyster ! X(

Boiled cod with soy sauce (たら煮)

プリプリのタラ(*´д｀*)

Springy texture !

Steamed asari clam (あさりの酒蒸し)

なんかちょっと変わった貝殻のあさり･･･(*´д｀*) 河岸頭に来ると毎回一つくらい見たことのないものに出会います(笑)

I haven’t seen such a corrugated shell. Ordinary asari clam have smooth shell.
Kashigashira often serves unfamiliar seafood like this 🙂

Grilled dried squid (いかの干物焼き)

いかの旨みがぎゅーっと詰まってて美味しい(*´д｀*)

Well, if I come to Kashigashira, I can’t help having Japanese sake !

河岸頭にきたらやっぱり日本酒～(*´д｀*)

Assorted sashimi (刺し盛り)

河岸頭のお刺身って宝石みたいですよねッ(*´д｀*)←魚の名前忘れたの胡麻化そうとしてる

Kashigashira always serves beautiful sashimi like jewels 🙂

Kashigashira’s specialty ! Grilled tuna’s chin (鮪のアゴ焼き)

河岸頭と言ったらこれ！的なまぐろのアゴ焼きです。

Squid’s legs tempura (いかげその天ぷら)

いかげそ食べられるって幸せ(*´д｀*)

So happy that I could eat squid’s leg. My tooth couldn’t bite anything hard foods half a year ago.

Last, red sea bream rice (鯛めし)

シメは鯛めし･･･かと思いきや･･･

No, no, no. It’s not the end.

Grilled blackthroat seaperch (アカムツの塩焼き) as our last dish ! Oh my !

まさかのアカムツでシメ！(；´Д｀)

Thanks to my friend who’s regular customer of Kashigashira, we could eat it in special. So fatty and tasty. I needed another rice !
