March Mini-Kaiseki

Had an excellent Kaiseki meal at Nadaman. As usual, forgot about taking pictures until halfway through the meal. The first dish was their home-made Tofu with Uni, served with spring onion, wasabi and sauce. The tofu was very soft and silky, almost like the Chinese dessert "Douhua"(豆腐花), with some yoba(soy milk skin). The Uni was very fresh and had a flowery taste.

Next was a salad with Sea beam sashimi, tomato, mozzarella and pickled cabbage with seaweed dressing. Surprised to see an almost Italian style salad. But the ingredients mixed well together and they are delicious by themselves and when mixed together.

Next came the Sushi. First time to try sushi with Whitebait (Chinese usually fry them with eggs) and is very yummy. The most surprising one should be the spring onion (or chive?) with bonito. It's so full of flavour and as tasty as the others.

The soup with sea beam and seasonal vegetables arrived with a small stove to keep it warm. The dashi is light yet very sweet.

Fried sakura shrimps and peas. It's not oily and the sakura shrimps are very fresh.
Was very full by the time the Yakimono arrived. Foie Gras with beef and daikon! Managed to ate most of the foie gras and beef but have to leave the daikon...

There's also congee with seaweed(mozuku/水雲).

Sakura sorbet with sweet red bean paste with fruit and jelly. Couldn't quite figure out the sakura taste but the sweet red bean paste goes well with the fruit and jelly.

Think it's called "mini" kaiseki because it didn't have all the usual dishes in a kaiseki meal, but think the portion they serve is enough for two. And as the waitress said, a kaiseki meal will take at least 1 hour, if not more...
