In Yugashima (for lunch), we went to an "ayu" specialist restaurant where you can eat freshly caught "ayu" (あゆ). You can have a choice of plain charcoal grilled fish, deep fried or cooked in soy sauce. My favorite is the simple charcoal grilled fish - yummy! You can order one with eggs inside, they taste marvelous!
A typical dinner at ryokan usually includes at least 8 types of dish, called the "kaiseki". Most of the food are usually cooked and presented in a Japanese style in a way that reflect the season of that particular month. In August main food will include grilled fish or meat, summer vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, eda-mame (young soy beans) are used.
