Dinner at the ryokan

Today we have with you a dinner in a traditional Japanese hotel - ryokan ... During a trip to Japan, we stayed at three ryokan and everywhere we have been waiting for a holiday belly and lots of new gastronomic emotions!

Stop ... stop ... go eat something first, and then in the process of viewing gallery will flee!

So ... the tables are covered with ... sit down or even lie down ...

Honestly, the names of most of the dishes are unknown to me, whether someone knows a little what it is and write in the comments, well, or we guess :)

Each of the three dinners discussed in a separate part of the ...

First Dinner

Dinner and breakfast at the ryokan are included in the room rate (room costs about $ 300 per night) and are held in special rooms ... of course, can bring in the room, but as something more interesting!

It is necessary to sit on the floor, but on a seat with a back, it gives a lot of inconvenience, feet start "whining" in 10 minutes, and dinner in Japan, you know, the procedure is long ... In addition it is not clear where they are (foot) to put :) Who under the table, one to the side, who in the lotus position, and who is under the ass ..

We arrived very early (there is very much like), choose a place for himself on the edge (so comfortable to sit in and out) and waited for the arrival of the rest ... In the meantime, preparations for the end of the last meal and the waiters (they can somehow -Other they called?) corrected plate on the table ...

When I saw my desk, I thought that it is hardly possible to eat ... Some very tiny bits of food ... Later, of course, it turned out that this is the Japanese tradition of eating - all on chut a little, but a lot! :) My table

Shrimp

The bamboo stick something like ground beef, it is necessary to cook right at your desk in a special container, a heated burner ... and every blade of grass ...

crab claws ...

This soup ... pour yourself from the teapot and drink from pialochki ...

my feet (sorry) hit the shot, they have not removed me under the table, so I sat on the edge of ... at first I was a bit awkward that the bare legs of the table, but then I realized that it oK, no one pays attention and, moreover, still sitting ... a woman shows me how to cook the same stuffing ...

After this photo shoot I stopped, I put down the camera to the side and began to eat, I eat for a long time, and much tasty ... so no longer photographed any dishes that are brought in and brought ...

Dinner the second

During a stop in this ryokan, we went to dinner is better prepared :) It has been more or less clear what and how you can have ... By the way, all dishes are cooked separately from each other, ie. E., Not all in "one pot ", and then expanded in various dishes, and do all alone, every vegetable, every piece of fish, and so on. d.

There were tables covered with sheets of paper ...

Waitress appeared quickly, poured beer and tells you how and what to eat, and in the meantime we have been taught to say their "Thank you" and "please" ... they do ... People in the background - the representatives of Tottori Prefecture, who organized us reception ... They were in costume, and we in yukata with bare feet :)

Look, just the exposure of some sort! By the way, the Japanese, unlike the Chinese, for example, trying to preserve the taste of the product and its appearance ... not used in the preparation of any spices and sauces that would not "turn off" a true taste of ...

In my opinion, crab claws, were one of the most clear dishes for dinner :)

Later, all brought on a heated stone, which had to cook meat, squid and so on. D. Stones, by the way, was heated on gas within 2 hours ...

Then in a special sauce we prepared any beef marble ...

In general, it's all very interesting, you sit at the table, cook himself, chooses what and what to cook or fry, chooses "readiness" and so on. D.

And finally the dessert ... and more could certainly put :)

Dinner third

In the third ryokan dinner was held for the usual tables for us, because the hotel owners thought it would be so convenient, are not they know that we have already experienced and accustomed guys there on the floor ... Part romance has been lost forever ...

Again any beef ...

The sauce ...

"Fishery Exposition" ...

I swear, I do not know what it is ... I can see that the fungus on top and at the bottom of that - I do not remember ...

here - and shrimp, and a piece of fish or something, beans, chestnuts, beans ...

Again, "hover and fry" ...

And this is a fish broth, and the top cover of the test ...

I do not have photos, probably half of the dishes that were at dinner, just do not have time to shoot ... And so, in general, we ate in Japan is good ... :)
