Japanese food spree

We had a marvelous excuse to pull out all stops and do the best we could at a Japanese style dinner last night. We had

Appetizers of two kinds of caviar on daikon slices and green beans with ginger. Pickled oysters in a miso-mustard sauce that were fantastic (recipe coming soon), pickled shitake mushrooms, ume boshi, tofu pickled and then fried, onion salad 

 And cucumbers pickled a couple of ways and daikon.

Chawan Mushi - the savory egg custard we like so much with chicken, shrimp and ginko nuts

Chirashi Sushi - bite size bits of yellow tail, tuna, pickled mackerel, the funny pink powder but made from scratch from shrimp (Ebi Soboro), cooked shrimp, pickeled tofu, egg threads, semi-dried salmon over sushi rice
