—————————————
It was another one of my quick “evening breaks” this evening, and I just decided to pop up at Yasatei as I knew I would be able to nibble on a great morsel or two.
Now, what I ordered should please vegetarians and vegans alike (I’m neither), but I suspect Simaldeff (because of his weight problems). Allison (she loves her veg) and Lindsay (always keen on Healthy food) would particularly be curious to find out what I ate.
Well, I ordered “yuuki yasai no sashimi”.
Translation: bio vegetables sashimi.
From left to right:
“Eshyaletto/Japanese echalottes”, “daidai piman/soft orange pimento”, “myoga/ginger sprouts”, “aka radisyu/red radishes”, “shiso/perilla”, “daikon/Japanese long radish”, and “kyuuri/cucumber”.
All vegetables, except for the orange soft pimento also have the merit to be grown in Shizoka Prefecture!
As for “seasoning”, I was offered “goma abura/sesame oil” from Kyoto (see pic) with salt and miso paste.

large “soft” (they will become sweet if cooked) red, yellow, orange pimento are very common and reasonable in Japan.
Myoga has a comparatively soft taste, at least for the small sprouts.

I’m particularly curious about the orange pimento … never tasted it. Ginger’s sprout would be interesting too.
