Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Location: 4/5
Overall a big thumbs up from me. The place felt spacious with it's high ceilings and lovely modern interior as well as a wonderfully polite staff.
The Nakano Ume plum wine is BOMB. It was my first time trying plum wine and I was hooked. It tastes like apple cider, but without the carbonation and cloying sweetness that some ciders have.
Starter: Aburi Sashimi Selection
Since Miku is known for their Aburi, we had to try a couple. It was yummy, but I preferred the sushi that came with the sushi selection. In comparison I also enjoyed the Aburi at Ja Bistro better.
Main #1: Miku Signature Sushi Selection
We ordered the selection to try out the best of what Miku had to offer and it didn't disappoint. The platter had a selection of both classic pieces as well as a couple different takes on sushi. The most memorable was an aburi spicy salmon with jalapeno on top and salmon inside the rice as well. Another piece featured some kind of saffron citrus flavour explosion.
Main #2: Pork belly with Seared Sweetbreads
Highly recommend this dish! The pork belly is fatty, flavourful, tender, and roasted to perfection. It's also important to note that sweatbreads are, in fact, not breads at all but pork pancreas. Despite the misleading name, followed by the sobering explanation, this stuff is pretty good.
Dessert: Miso-salted caramel ice cream
Unique touch with the miso salted flavour and really balanced out the sweetness of the caramel. A+ on this dessert.
