Ayu season has set in. So, I went to Tenfusa (天房) in Tsukiji Market to eat young ayu tempura before work. But I couldn’t know whether Tenfusa serve young ayu or not the day until I reached there. I felt ill at ease….
Fortunately I found the word “稚鮎 (Young ayu)” on the today’s menu.
I ordered tuna sashimi set. It have tuna sashimi, assorted tempura, miso soup and pickles. Of course, rice, too. Here’s Tsukiji, so Tenfusa serve good tuna sashimi, too.
I visited there with my friend, so we shared those tempura. Ginpo (Tidepool gunnel), young ayu (sweetfish) and scallop. Ginpo tasted similar conger eel.
And this is the young ayu. Young ayu is small, so we can eat everything. Its head was bitter and the meat was soft. Last year I ate it for the first time and I was very impressed by the tastes. This small fish have much tastes.
