Tasting Tucson {Yoshimatsu}

February 11, 2013 · 1 Comment

IMG_6657The new year brought upon a dining out series for The Dreamery but I’ve been messing around a title that fit just right…well until I came up with Tasting Tucson. Thought it was fitting since I’ve been getting to know Tucson a whole lot, just by eating at a new restaurant. Hands down one of my favorites, and first places I ate at was Yoshimatsu.

Yoshimatsu is the main casual dining where the customers order at the cashier, receive a tag, and servers will bring the food to your table.SushiMatsu is a full service Sushi and other Japanese Food Restaurant.Yoshimatsu’s reason is to offer food like mom made at home, that are the best for the family.  The cancer survivor owner/chef offers original healthy Japanese recipe which uses several kinds nutritious ingredients and no MSG. My favorite roll is the Caterpillar Roll and the only thing I craved during my cleanse, along with our usual bottles of hot sake for our weekly girls happy hour dinner .

Green tea, Sashimi Mori the Chef’s choice of 15 assorted sashimi w/mustard sumiso, spicy tuna roll, fried oysters, edamame with soy sauce mixed with chili sauce and ginger, and a warm bowl of miso soup.

Katie had the Chicken Niyaki Udon, which she described as fresh and simple with an underlining deep flavor. My amazing choice was the Nabeyaki Soba traditional deluxe soba noodle dish with Shrimp tempura, white fish, tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables in a cast iron pot. It was simple, yet a rich combination of flavors and textures. Layers and layers of deliciousness.

In the words of my dear roommate and best friend the Sweet Geisha Cat was “an euphoria of flavors that like to hang out with each other and party on the weekends” A fruit cocktail agar topped with scoops of green tea and red bean ice creams accompanied by sweet red bean paste flour dumpling was smooth, rich, chewy, squishy and downright one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten.

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”

This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
