Japanese Eats

Trying someplace new-ish. Restaurant used to be at a different location. Mr. Ojisan. Used to be more ramen shop. Evolved into what The Mouse thinks of a Japanese cafe/bistro/sushi bar.

The Cat picked restaurant this time.

Location

Shishito Peppers with Yuzu Miso

One of the few peppers The Mouse likes, although one out of many could be dangerous.

Miso Butterfish

Complete Meal Set

Chilled udon noodles, rice, miso soup, side dishes.

Bittermelon Stir-Fry

“Goya chanpuru”. Mmm!

Tonkatsu Sandwich with French Fries

Tender and juicy. Properly prepared with Japanese bread. Winner.

Dessert

Coffee jelly, coffee liquor, vanilla ice cream. Mmm!

Return visit approved.

Be safe, eat good.

Japanese Dinner

The Cat and The Mouse try try, Akira Japanese Restaurant. The Mouse feels half Japanese restaurant, half izakaya.

Braised Tendon with Turnip

Caviar Sushi

Not sturgeon caviar, flying fish, salmon, uni, and something else The Mouse couldn’t identify. Try try.

Miso Butterfish

The butterfish was well prepared. The Cat liked. 🙂

The Cat has approved a future return. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Sushi Bar Take-Out

No sushi. Sushi bar sushi has to be eaten fresh dine-in, The Mouse’s opinion.

The Mouse was in-house most of the day. Picked up dinner.

Soft Shelled Crab

One of The Cat’s favorite.

Vegetable Tempura

Teri Chicken Bento

The bento was kid-sized (just right for The Mouse). Hee hee. Rice, chicken, gyoza, sweet potato fries. Lots of sauteed onions under the chicken. Mmm.

Be safe and well.

Chirashi

The Cat’s “new” discovery. She took one of her classmates for his birthday. Japanese restaurant.

Chirashi

“Scattered” sashimi over rice. Think deconstructed nigiri in a bowl, the casual cousin. 🙂

Supposedly less skill required than sushi/sashimi masters. Maybe, even The Mouse could attempt. Hee hee.

Be safe and well.

More Eve Eats

The Cat suggested eating out for lunar new year eve (not Chinese). Japanese and pho combination place, close enough.

The Cat’s order:

Butterfish Misoyaki

The Mouse’s order:

Garlic Tofu

Both meals came with miso soup, salad, and rice. Separate dishes. That’s why the Manago Hotel plating. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.
