Sato’s favourite was the chicken with magnolia leaves grilled with miso and leek. And while all of the individual dishes were delicious, Mr.
The whole experience was akin to taking a trip around Japan, with ingredients sourced from prefectures all over the country. ▼ With each individual dish having such a long name, it was no wonder the text on the menu had to be so small to fit everything in. Seared chicken thigh and magnolia leaves grilled with miso and leek.Shogoin radish pickled in sweet vinegar with red pepper.Burdock root from Yubari, Hokkaido Prefecture.Sato was immediately reminded of the way breakfasts are typically served at ryokans (traditional Japanese inns). The bamboo basket looked less like a plate of food and more like a banquet fit for a king. Sato, who had been expecting a light lunch, was starting to worry if he could finish this feast. ▼ A whole host of delicious looking food in a huge bamboo basket! Sato eagerly devoured the salad, but no sooner had he finished when yet another huge dish was presented to him. The salad was called Caesar Salad with Bacon and Crown Daisy and used ingredients from Fukushima Prefecture’s famous Akutsu Farm. It wasn’t just any old salad either, it was huge!

He wasn’t quite sure what the lunch set would involve exactly, as the text on the menu was kind of small and Mr.
Sato made his trip to Aen, so he decided to go for the Famous Bamboo Basket Feast Lunch (2200 yen, US$19.10). Upon further research, it seems Aen has been in business since 1999, with its focus being on dishes featuring brown rice and vegetables - quite different from what’s usually on offer at Mos Burger. Sato, like most of Japan, was very familiar with Mos Burger, this was his first trip to Aen, which has four restaurants around the Tokyo area. Sato, as he was headed to a restaurant with a taste a little closer to home: Japanese restaurant Aen. But it’s less commonly known that they also run other non-hamburger related restaurants, such as Mia Cucina, an Italian restaurant, or Chef’s V, a restaurant with dishes packed with vegetables.īut neither of those were on the menu today for our resident gourmet expert Mr. are most commonly known as owning Japanese hamburger chain Mos Burger.
