1890のランチコース。
野菜小鉢3品: モロヘイヤ ポン酢、つるむらさき お浸し、 いちじく胡麻だれかけ。
野菜料理: 旬の野菜 フリッター、沖縄の塩とレモンで。
A stylish Japanese place specialised in vegetables. For the 1890yen lunch course, you can choose 3 out of 5 options for the appetizer and choose 1 from the 2 options for the main. Unfortunately most of the names of the vegetables were something that I never heard of…I picked Mulukhiya in ponzu(top one), malabar spinach(bottom left, funny sticky texture) and the safe option “fig with sesame sauce”(bottom right). All were very good! I liked mulukhiya the most, juicy and sweet. For the main, I chose the vegetables fritter. It included, okra, babycorn, green beans, zucchini, green pepper, onion and sweet potato. The batter was thin and light, and the vegetables were very sweet.

小さなおかず: 冬瓜のあんかけ。
しまい: 減農薬米釜炊きごはん、香ノ物、お椀。

Then came the rice, miso soup and winter melon. The dessert was almond tofu. A very satisfying lunch!
