Food culture 301: Kanazawa Special: Kagari Kisshotei

The second installation of this series is a dinner at a Japanese ryokan.
Needless to say, I am still unable to read the many complicated kanji used in food terminology, so what you get is a very simplified description:

A seafood jelly, whelk and huge broadbean-like bean


Assorted sashimi. Notice the fresh wasabi!

A sort of river fish, cooked over smouldering ashes

Crab! A whole half crab all for me.

Braised vegetables

Tuna cooked in an iron pot. It is hard to see how humongous this piece of tuna really is from the photo, but that cup of water is a regular sized water glass.

Tempura.

Rice and pickled vegetables

Dessert. Shame about the whipped cream.
