This Japanese restaurant is inside Ueno Park. Lovely view! Must be amazing during Hanami season.
Sat on the second floor. So comfortable~
花籠膳（雪）、茶碗蒸し、豆御飯付き、１８９０円。
Hana-kago-zen: translated to “flower basket meal”. It is often said that “Japanese eat with their eyes”. So right on! Taste is secondary, celebrating Japanese aesethics comes first. Most of the pretty things in the basket are veggy and tofu, all cold. Chawanmushi and rice with beans(this is so good) and miso soup are of course hot. Rice and soup are refillable. Will come back for tea and sweets!
韻松亭

私も韻松亭行きました。両親を連れて・・3500円くらいのコースをいただきましたが、お豆ご飯もついていました。お豆ご飯、おいしいですよね！休日行くと並んでいるので、人気のお店なのかしら？もう一度行きたいなと思います。
すーちゃん！お久しぶりです！
確かにここの客は年配な方が多いですね。
豆ご飯、美味しいですよね～
お代り自由なのに、魔がさしてお代りしなかった、、、後悔！
そう、そう、超人気ですよ。
秋と春は特に込んでるらしいです。
今度は優雅に和菓子とお茶いただきたいです。
So beautiful~ Did you walk/exercise in the park beforehand? (or just go there for the restaurant ^^;;;)
I like the fancy beautiful name for the set, everything is so petit and delicate, like miniature food toys, so unreal~
Just went there for the restaurant. ^^;; But I have been to this park many times before, especially during cherry blossom hanami seasons.
They have other stuff like hotpot, which will definitely taste better but I just went for the look~
Even the website is so elegantly beautifully designed *0*~~~ Some of its vege-friendly dishes look appealing 🙂

The lunch set I had was mostly veggy and tofu, but there was a little piece of salmon in it. ^^;; Surprisingly strict vegetarian restaurants are so rare here, cos Japanese eat a lot of seafood~. A vegetarian guest came to our office last week, and the organizer preparing for the welcome party was scratching his head hard trying to find a restaurant.
Haha yeah it’s super tough to eat strict vegetarian-ly in Japanese restaurants!!! The sauce you dip the soba in, the soup base of just about everything… ^^;;; Often I eat them anyway la!
US is surprisingly veggy-friendly. You should be thankful! ^^;;
