Kimono wearing hosts greet you at the door, inspecting you for proper attire. Afterall, the coat requirements are in place so you "don't have to air next to certain people!"
When you're seated, you have various food options, the tasting menu or a la carte.
The tasting menu consisted of various chef selected dishes:
The steamed mussels in rice wine were fantastic, large and lightly seasoned, warmed broth with scallions warned up the tastebuds.
The lemon and Ginger flavored fishcakes were delicious and light. Full fish lightly breaded in a sweet and succulent lemon zest and Ginger sauce. Accompanied with a persimmon salad..
The sashimi was amazing. Tuna, fat tuna, mackerel and red snapper all fresh and vibrant
Not to be without your own wasabi root for extra shavings
Whole fried butterfly fish was crispy and crunchy:
An intermediate salad of avocado and shrimp with mango and a chile miso soup was refreshingly good and decoratively fantastic:
Our own little fireplate was brought out to cook scallops, tiger shrimp and thinly sliced meat ad large mushrooms to cook over the hot fire plate:
With little garnishings of green scallions, minced onion and red pepper minced onions, the need and scallops were cooked to perfection and balanced exquisitely well with onion based toppings:
Baby sushi of tuna, mackerel and yellowtail were brought out to cleanse the palatte. Light, tasty, with fresh wasabi and pickled ginger!
The Chilean sea bass was grilled to ultimate satisfaction. Tender and juicy, melted in your mouth:
With a while wheat soba noodles and mushroom soup to finish:
And a little spice box full of pepper and seaweed flavors:
