# Enoshimatei

Places we stopped along the way　/　Kamakura, Kanagawa

A restaurant founded in 1909 on the cliffs at the far end of Enoshima. The window seats and terrace look out over the Shonan coast, with Mt. Fuji visible on clear days. Its specialty, Enoshima-don, is turban shell simmered in egg. The window seats were used for filming the 29th Tora-san film, Torajiro Ajisai no Koi (1982), whose leading lady was Ayumi Ishida.

2-6-5 Enoshima, Fujisawa, Kanagawa

## This moment in the journey: Enoshima-don and Mt. Fuji

From the deck on the cliff, the sea and the town on the far shore spread out below. It feels wonderfully like being on a little island of its own. A notice on the wall explained that the Tora-san film Torajiro Ajisai no Koi was shot here in 1982, and that the tatami room is just as it was then. I wonder what Tora-san was thinking here at that time.

From the window seat, Mt. Fuji rose beyond the water. The famous Enoshima-don is turban shell simmered in egg, topped with mitsuba and a soft-cooked yolk, eaten with a spoon.

Blue sky, the seaside town, and Mt. Fuji. A pleasant sea breeze and a landscape painted by nature are "the best seasoning." I am thoroughly enjoying my borrowed life in Kamakura.
