| - JaBistro is the best sushi in the city.
Sat at the bar and witnessed an artisanal masterclass in Japanese culinary creativity. Despite wanting to eat everything on the menu, this is how it went down..
Agedashi - hot crispy chunks of tofu in a light tasting tentsuyu broth. Nice start to the meal.
$100 sashimi platter - the main event. Picked this over the $50 platter because of the quality of the fish. It included different cuts of toro (ranging from fatty, to medium fatty, to akami), seared kobe beef (just butter in your mouth), lobster, sea bream, uni, salmon roe, octopus, squid.. and I basically got lost after the toro.
Aburi - 7 pieces of melt in your mouth sushi. All blowtorched. It's not easy sharing 7 pieces with one other person but because I'm a nice guy, I surrendered. (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls90ihUbol1r21bdno1_250.gif) Within these 7 pieces, there was one shining star that stood out from the rest. The salmon nigiri. This knocked me the f out. Floored. Dare I say, the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. We ordered 2 extra pieces.
Eunice, our awesome server, came by with dessert menus but we skipped it in order to preserve the salmon nigiri flavour still lingering in our mouths.
