Hyakkan

Hyakkan (百干) is a good Japanese style dining restaurant.
There seems to be three branches in Tokyo, and today we had a dinner at Hyakkan Kokubunji.

Their catch phrase is 'aburyanse (あぶりゃんせ)' in Japanese as you can see their homepage. It's a bit difficult to explain what あぶりゃんせ means in English because we Japanese love fishes very much and there are several differences in cooking method of fishes between western world and Japan, but anyway, roughly speaking that means something like "Let's broil (a delicious fish and enjoy it) ."

Today, my wife had a broiled Atka mackerel (Hokke, ほっけ in Japanese) and I had a boiled sea bream. (On the menu, it's Medai(目鯛) but I'm not sure its English name exactly.) Very good. :)



The right one above is my wife's dessert, a citron sherbet. :)
