This was really mind-blowing for me. I'm really hard to please by tomatoes, but this unassuming huge de-skinned tomato just brought me to another level of happiness. Really sweet and juicy and it was soaked in vinegar and lots of onions, which helped to elevate the flavour even further.
Not sure where to begin from the seven-page menu at JINzakaya? I'd recommend the refreshing Marugoto Tomato, which literally translates to 'whole tomato'. Famed for its intense sweetness, the momotaro tomato is blanched to enhance those qualities, and served deskinned, highlighting its soft, juicy flesh. Goes very well with a fragrant sake like the Midnight Blue Yamamoto and Miyakanbai, both of which are from the seasonal, curated selection.
