| - I've learned that some of the best food in Vegas is OFF the strip! This plaza was surely popping with people, not sure if it was with locals or tourists who learned the secret.
Kabuto is small but very clean and modern. A white space with all Japanese chefs and servers. Our waitress was very cute and animated.
The menu choices are all omakase:
NIGIRI $48
aperitif sake / amuse / nigiri (10pc) / hand roll / dessert
YOROI $80
aperitif sake / amuse / sashimi (4 kinds) / grill (3 varaieties) / nigiri (8pc)
/ hand roll / miso soup / dessert
KABUTO $120
aperitif sake / appetizer / sashimi platter (5 kinds) / grill platter (5 varaieties)
/ nigiri (12pc) / hand roll / miso soup / dessert
We all opted for the $80 which let us try a bit of everything and were stuffed by the end.
*The aperitif sake was very light, only 2% alcohol and a bit fruity. It was refreshing
*Our amuse was a fish male organ. It looked like a brain so I could not look at it straight while eating it but it was nicely marinated in a ponzu sauce with cucumber. The combination of all of it was very tasty
*For sashimi, we had a juicy oyster, clam, yellowtail and a white fish that we ate with a seaweed paste.
*For the grilled platter, we had a fish with bruleed miso paste on top, a a crab salad and yellowtail collar bone
*For the nigiri, we had 5 types of fish including a toro, fish roe, egg and a nice uni with rice
*The hand roll was tuna and it was very different from the other hand rolls I've had. The seaweed apparently is from a popular place in Japan and it was so crunchy and good
*For the miso soup, we had a choice of mushroom, fish or shrimp head. I had the fish one
*For dessert, we had a choice of sesame panna cotta or Japanese cheesecake
All the courses were very good but not all fish were "melt in your mouth" good. I did like that we had a variety of items and not just fish
Service was great and I really appreciated knowing my meal came from many different parts of the world.
4.5 stars. Recommended!!!!
