Autumn Menu Drop: Sansai and Kabocha

The September menu turns toward the mountains. Sansai — mountain vegetables — anchor the seasonal ramen this month: mountain yam, butter burr, and a soft-cooked egg over our chicken paitan.

Kabocha returns to the small plates as tempura, dusted with togarashi, and the donburi board adds a mushroom don with chestnut rice underneath.

Seasonal dishes run through November or until the market stops carrying. The counter sees them first; the full menu carries them while they last.
