ALLEGRO IN TOKYO
The lively tempo was everywhere in Tokyo, be it in Shinjuku,
Shibuya, Harajuku or Asakusa. At Ueno
Park, people joyously ate, drank, sang and chatted during the hanami, the
annual cherry blossom viewing festival in Japan. In Japanese language, hana
means flower and hanami means flower viewing.
A bowl of tonkotsu ramen at Darumanome restaurant in Shibuya
eased the tiredness in my body from the endless walking around the city.
We had a taste of one of Japan’s pride, Amaou strawberries at
Kyobashi Sembikiya, a fruit parlor and café in Harajuku.
My greatest tofu experience happened at Tofuya Shiba Ukai,
just beside the Tokyo Tower. The restaurant serves traditional Japanese Kaiseki
cuisine with tofu dishes as its specialty. The Kaiseki cuisine is a multi-course meal
served in small portion. It is prepared meticulously and beautifully using
fresh and seasonal ingredients. The artful presentation of food depicts the
seasonal theme of the meal.
