A whole slice of salmon served over rice, with hot dashi poured on top
湯気を立てながら、透き通った黄金色の出汁が茶碗へと静かに流れ込んでいく。
Steam rises as the clear golden dashi quietly flows into the bowl.
ふっくらと白く輝くごはんの上には、焼き目の香ばしい鮭の切り身が堂々と横たわり、その身の赤が湯気の向こうでいっそう鮮やかに見える。
On top of the plump, glistening white rice lies a piece of salmon with a fragrant, seared surface, its reddish hue appearing even more vivid through the rising steam.
出汁が鮭をやさしく包み込み、米粒一つひとつをほぐすように染み渡っていくたび、香りがふわりと広がり、耳には小さな湯の音が心地よく響く。
As the dashi gently envelops the salmon and seeps into each grain of rice, a soft aroma fills the air and the faint sound of the hot broth brings comfort to the ears.
今まさに完成へと向かう一瞬——食欲と期待が静かに高まり、箸を取る手が待ちきれずに震える、その直前の贅沢な時間。
It is the very moment before completion—when appetite and anticipation quietly build, and the hand reaching for the chopsticks trembles with impatience in this indulgent pause.
