that cleaness in taste is so delicately articulated on the palette you may missed it if you swallow too fast. my bowl of chopsticks tender braised pork belly, buta kakuni was exactly just that. egg was poached cleverly enough not to be runny to ruin soup, even the fried pumpkin slices hardly stain the bowl of clear dashi. worthy of mention was also the bowl of equally well executed chawamushi by the side.
