What can I say? Shokunin has to be one of my favorite dining experiences since I moved to Calgary a few months ago. The atmosphere there was definitely bumpin with throwback hip-hop and R&B blasting all night. My kinda spot to chill, snack and drink with sone good friends.
The food was absolutely top-notch!
To start, my friends and I ordered the chicken skin chips (delectably crispy!), grilled beef tongue (chewy and flavourful)and chicken ass (also crispy good). Great food to go with a bottle (or two... or three) of Kirin or Sapporo. We also got the scallop isoyaki, which is served on a mini-grill cooking right at your table! It doesn't get any fresher than that.
Feeling extra hungry that night, I also got the ramen. Toothy noodles, savoury broth, delicious pork, and a perfectly cooked egg. A very satisfying bowl.
We rounded out the night with more beer and sake bombs, which were off the hook. I could down ten of those if I could! ...but I can't. And wouldn't. Because that would get messy.
Great place. Highly recommended.
