Deep fried ayu... Delicious!!!

As a treat, for lunch on Friday I joined a Japanese co-worker for lunch at a restaurant called 飄禄玉 near the Sagami River that serves exceptional trout and ayu (sweetfish).

You are given plenty of daikon (grated Japanese radish) to garnish the fish. I split open my fish and spread liberal amounts of daikon and shoyu (soy sauce).

The restaurant has a great view of the surrounding rice paddies.

The other room has a view is of Japanese garden.
