I tried "4 kinds of Japanese set meal" at Yayoiken. "Sukiyaki small bowl of beef", "Sukiyaki of nuts and Japanese mustard spinach", "Salted mackerel" and "Steamed chicken and seaweed sticky small bowl" are lined up in a square weight with a partition. The taste is reminiscent of a luxury inn dinner.
The price is 890 yen (tax included) and the calories are 692 kcal. It is an excellent set that you can enjoy meat and fish at the same time with a large number of items and vegetables.
Sukiyaki small bowl of beef
The beef sukiyaki small bowl is a sweet and salty dish with beef slices, onions, and tied konnyaku thread.
It tastes like a mini-sized "sukiyaki set meal" that you can enjoy as a "single pot" at Yayoiken. Although the volume is modest, the umami of the beef fat is firmly entwined with the sukiyaki sauce, and honestly, this alone is enough to flatten a bowl of rice.
Aemono of nuts and Japanese mustard spinach
The mixture of nuts and Japanese mustard spinach has a taste like "white sauce". Not only the fresh flavor of Japanese mustard spinach, but also root vegetables such as carrots and lotus roots are well cooked and soft, but the colors and shapes are kept clean and the atmosphere is stylish.
The saltiness is modest, and it can be eaten as a side dish for rice or as a chopstick rest. I think that the crispy texture of lotus root seems to be good as a snack for sake.
Grilled mackerel with salt
Mackerel grilled with salt is a bite-sized fillet with a large cut radish sardine and hijiki seaweed. The fillet is oily but has a refreshing aftertaste and has a taste like blue fish.
It goes well with the sweet Namas, and you can enjoy a marinade-like taste.
Steamed chicken and seaweed sticky small bowl
In addition to chicken, the steamed chicken and seaweed sticky small bowl contains wakame seaweed, trolley, okra, etc., and is topped with plenty of kneaded plums.
Kneaded plums are quite salty, so if you spread them over a small bowl and then put chopsticks on them, you will feel that the sticky texture of the plums and the aroma, acidity, and saltiness of the plums are well balanced.
It's an excellent side dish for rice, and because it has a small bowl of beef sukiyaki, it makes me want to refill the rice.
Well-balanced, each small bowl is a unique set meal, recommended for both dinner and lunch.
