Jomon Natural Onsen: A Hidden Gem in Tokyo
Introduction
Welcome to another culinary adventure at Ken’s Fine Dining in Japan. This time, I explored the charming and historic restaurant, Jomon Natural Onsen. Located in a serene setting, this place offers an authentic Japanese dining experience that’s both delightful and unforgettable.
Ambiance
Jomon Natural Onsen’s ambiance transports you to a bygone era. The rustic interior, complete with traditional decor and wooden structures, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The centerpiece of the dining area is a beautifully crafted plant arrangement that adds a touch of nature to the setting.
The Soba+ Set Meal
The star of my visit was a meticulously crafted set meal. It featured fresh sashimi atop a bed of rice, perfectly complemented by a side of soba noodles. The soba was served with a dipping sauce and garnished with wasabi and finely sliced scallions, adding layers of flavor to the dish. The set also included pickled vegetables and a creamy tofu side dish, providing a balanced and satisfying meal.
Highlights
• Sashimi Donburi: Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi with a hint of wasabi.
• Soba Noodles: Homemade and perfectly cooked, offering a chewy texture.
• Pickled Vegetables: Added a refreshing crunch to the meal.
• Creamy Tofu: Smooth and flavorful, a perfect palate cleanser.
The Special Dessert
Jomon Natural Onsen also has a small market section selling local specialties. One standout was the “旬玉まんじゅう” (Shun-tama Manju), a delightful steamed bun made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Conclusion
Jomon Natural Onsen is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. From the historical decor to the meticulously prepared food, every detail is designed to offer a taste of traditional Japan.
