Kinosaki Kaiseki 2

We ended up staying in Kinosaki two nights, so here's a little peak at our second formal Kaiseki meal.

From Goth Goes Otaku 2 Kinosaki Onsen

Appetiser of ebi prawn with caviar, jellied eel, sweet egg rolled sushi, jellyfish sashimi (in the pot) and persimmon mochi

The jellyfish sashimi is one of the only foods of my adult life that I have immediately spat out involuntarily, the texture was unlike anything I recognised as a food product and my body ejected it without my input. I have eaten Jellyfish in Chinese hot dishes but this was unsalvageable and I quickly closed the pot and pushed it aside.

Another abundant sashimi platter of whole boar fish, ebi prawn, squid, snapper, salmon, kingfish and abalone
