Went to Meiji for lunch, and had a delicious bowl of a (new-to-me) custard soup called Sakura Chawan-mushi. Slightly expensive ($8), but incredibly scrumptuous. The Tsumetai Noodle Salad was also quite good today.
This sounds quite like the recipe (Meiji used shitake, chestnuts, cherry blossom, shrimp, etc.)
