お正月は特別料金なのね(･ε･`) : Kisoji

I went back to my parents' house. My sister made a reservation at Kisoji for a meal with my family of four. This time, we went to the Kobutsu-me store again. The reservation was made at 11:00, the opening time. We arrived 5 minutes before. There was no one there lol We secured a spot next to the entrance. It's always full and difficult to park, but it's easy before opening time. Actually, this restaurant will be undergoing renovation work from January 9th. They're going to get rid of the private tatami rooms and make all the seats chair-style. The seat I reserved this time was also a chair seat by the window. It's hard to take photos because of the shadows cast through the window blinds lol It's only a decent store that will lend you a sunshade cloth to cover your jacket when you take it off. Since we're all getting older, we gave up on the fatty marbled beef and ordered four servings of [b:New Year's special menu] ``[b: shabu shabu domestic beef loin @ 4290]''. By the way, from January 1st to 4th, 10% of the food and drink price will be charged as a service charge lol I don't like kaiseki meals because they tend to have a lot of cold dishes. The appetizers came immediately. Red and white pickled vegetables with herring roe and salmon roe on top. The hot pot was set, and condiments came, and we could choose between sesame sauce, ponzu sauce, and rice between five grains and white rice. By the time the pickles arrived, the water was boiling and the meat was served. Since we were there, we asked the waiter to cook it for us first lol https://youtu.be/OzPvcHafet0 As expected, the meat was boiled to perfection! Wow, they look like wealthy people lol After that, we added vegetables and devoured them ourselves lol It was delicious meat. The vegetables were Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts, raw shiitake mushrooms, carrots, tofu, wakame seaweed, vermicelli, etc. I thought it was a big shimeji mushroom, but it was "Buna Queen". I thought the taste was the same as Bunashimeji though lol (Damn, I forgot to take a picture of the meat and vegetables lol) After the meat and vegetables are washed down, they put in the mochi and kishimen noodles. The kishimen noodles here are wide and chewy. Finally, for dessert, you can choose from vanilla ice cream, matcha ice cream, yuzu sorbet, or warabi mochi. I went for "[b:yuzu]". The yuzu is really refreshing after the meat. I didn't order any extra meat but I was still quite satisfied. Kisoji's meat is really tasty.

2021/08/12　帰省したついでに両親と「木曽路 鴻仏目店」に行って来ましたよ。 もう駐車場から無茶混み、親父のアクアだからまだしも、自分のチャレだったら諦めてるｗｗ　やっぱお盆はこういったお店が賑わいますなぁ。

　待ちが10人ほどみえたけど、予約しておいたおかげですんなりと案内、BOX席に。

　さて何にすっかな。お袋は早々に「季節の握り盛り合わせ＠1980」を私と親父は散々迷った末に「しゃぶしゃぶ国産牛ロース肉＠4070」に。

　すぐにしゃぶしゃぶには先付が来ましたよ、蓮根の酢の物ですな。さっぱりしていいな。次にしゃぶしゃぶ鍋が来ました鋳物のゴツい奴ですな。

　握りも来ましたよ。6貫で足りますかね、シャリも小さいし。ネタは新鮮だったそーですよ。

　次にしゃぶしゃぶの4種の薬味が来て、付けダレが来て･･･やっぱ混んでるからかなー中々来るのに時間がかかる。肉と野菜が来たのはオーダーしてから30分後ｗｗ　ここで店員さんがしゃぶしゃぶしてくれるのね。テーブル席でもやんのね。まぁまどろっこしいんで最初の肉１枚で退場してもらったｗｗ　脂身と赤身がしっかり分かれてるロース肉はさっぱりとポン酢で喰うと旨いな。あっというまにアクが出るねぇ。
　野菜は２人前なのにわりと量少ないね、白菜、椎茸、人参、もやし、えのき、春菊、あさつき、春雨、ワカメ、豆腐･･･種類が多いから飽きない。 ご飯は白米と五穀米(だったかな?)と選べる。お茶碗にちょっとｗ

　しゃぶしゃぶを堪能した後は「きしめん」なんだがこれがまた20分待ちｗｗ　催促したら「まだ茹でておりますので･･･」　うーん鍋あるから自分で乾麵から茹でるよ(´Д`)　焼き餅ときしめんも上げるタイミングは店員にお任せ下さいってゆーけど、既に茹でてあるならいいじゃんね？　量が不満だなー１人当たり２～３本だものね。まぁしっかり太くて肉厚のものではあるけれど。 つるみもなく、こしもなく、ほうとうっぽいｗｗ　麺屋じゃないから期待してもイカンのだろうけど。
　最後にデザート、バニラアイス、抹茶アイス、柚子シャーベットから選べる。柚子にした。肉喰った後はさっぱりするよね。あ、写真撮りそこねたｗ
　
　ご馳走様でした。ちょっと残念な感じでしたな。接客はいいけど、あちらこちらから「お待たせ致しまして申し訳ございません」って聞こえて来るのよ。キャパオーバーなんですかね？　それともコロナ中にベテランさん達を減らしちゃったのかなー
