# Kamakura morning set with grilled dried fish

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Kamakura, Kanagawa

Kenchin-jiru made with Kamakura vegetables, with dried fish from the market shop grilled alongside. In a seaside town, dried fish belongs on the breakfast table.

## Ingredients

- Cooked rice
- Dried fish (butterflied horse mackerel)
- Kenchin-jiru
- A small vegetable garnish

## How I made it

1. Grill the dried fish from the market on a wire rack
2. Serve with freshly cooked rice and kenchin-jiru

## This moment in the journey: The Kamakura morning set is ready

Make local food with local ingredients, and eat it where it belongs. I ladled the finished soup into a lacquered bowl: crumbled tofu, shiitake, carrot, daikon and leek rose to the surface.

Freshly cooked rice, kenchin-jiru, and the fish hot off the grill. The Kamakura morning set meal was ready. I cupped the bowl in both hands and took a sip.
