An Epic Meal

A combo of celebrations (with P&B and Aunty M) and “non-celebrations” (according to cuz B).

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. If so, here’s an epic.

The Place

Favorite sushi bar izakaya (so far).

Fish Bone Chips

Eat everything. Bones and all. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Good with saké.

Kabocha Squash Karaage

Dashi Tamagoyaki

With grated turnip. Huge yum.

Chicken Karaage (唐揚げ or 空揚げ or から揚げ)

Hamachi Kama

Collar of yellowtail fish, grilled or broiled, crisp on the outside, just cooked on the inside. The Cat drooled.

Pork Belly Skewers

Grilled Beef Tongue

Chawanmushi

Steamed savory custard with shrimp, crabmeat, chicken, and Shiitake mushroom.

Clam Miso Soup

Spider Roll – Soft Shell Crab

Crab Cake

More like crab hash. Semantics. It was goooooood! One of the bestest eaten … ever.

Vegetable of the Day – Watercress Salad

Ankimo (鮟肝)

Spicy Hamachi Tartare

Served with crisp seaweed “chips”. Mind blowing.

Custard/Flan

Kinako Mochi, Vanilla and Matcha Ice Cream

Socks blown to the next zip code. An epic meal. One of my favorite ways to dine (pupu, appetizer, tapas). 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.
