Back to Wayama to complete our kaiseki tour of the season...

First up, this tofu "ankake", a sort of sticky, sweet savoury dish with what I took for crab pieces amongst the fried tofu.

Alongside it came a little glass of peach juice, ice and a hint of sake...

The sashimi course was a tour-de-force. That's tuna on the left, wrapped in cucumber, and grouper and salmon on the right.

Next came an assortment of different tastes. As you can see, there was a deep-fried prawn, some fried salmon and broad beans. At the end of the skewer is a tiny slice of fish cake and at the back are cold vegetables in a sesame vinegar. And hidden inside that banana leaf is a delicate piece of white fish sushi.

Continuing the seafood theme, next we have a cake made of raw scampi and scallop with avocado and fish roe.

A tiny plate of steamed chicken, topped with egg and vegetables!

The rice course features rice cooked in stock and dressed with beans.

And red miso soup.

And, finally, a milk-based pudding with cane syrup for dessert.

And that's the last of the seasons! A wonderful experience. We still can't believe we were lucky to find a place such as this near to where we live.

Now to see what the next year holds...

Wow, those are just *gorgeous*

So, having experienced four seasons, do you have a favorite?

Spring was the best. I think each season was better than the last, although they all had their high points.

That first picture speaks volumes. If a single picture is worth a thousand words, the list begins with "love". You should have a blow-up, framed for future viewing!

Great food photos! I love the arrangement of the different pieces - like ikebana that you can eat :=) I wish I had the patience not just to dump the food out of the pan onto the plate. My presentation is not elegant whereas these are all operatic!

Yes, it looks like someone has gone to a great deal of effort. I guess it can only be a labour of love. (Either that or OCD...)
