| - Love this quaint Japanese restaurant. Best to come for lunch for their lunch specials. As of my latest 09.21.17 visit, their lunch menu has changed yet again with some new items and combos. They also upgraded their restroom with japanese toilets, with English on the buttons!
Anyways.. I went from getting the seafood special when they were first open to the sashimi special and now the grilled salmon special as my current usual. I love having so much options in one combo. we come here several times a month and have tried a few on the lunch menu.
I honestly think this place has the best yuzu salad dressing (I can drink this stuff), miso soup, oyakodon, shogayaki donburi, AND tempura that is so flaky and light, definitely done right and visually appealing. Sashimi is ALWAYS fresh tasting. They give you the right amount of sauce with your meal, never any excess.
Homemade zaru tofu was just okay for us as well as the karaage (didn't come with any sauce and seemed like it needed more salt). Inaniwa udon is delightfully refreshing, noodles served on a bowl of ice to keep cold with a firm texture, not as thick as udon noodles.
Today we got the Yuzu Kago served in a "big basket" off the new menu because of curiosity on how big this basket was. And it was pretty big. It is a good portion of food and can be shareable too. Doesn't come with rice since there's sushi and a small roll. Next time we'll try the Shokado Box, would want to see how that looks presented.
Have gone here for dinner service twice so far, have yet to try the kaiseki option but will try it in the VERY near future. Off the dinner menu, we've tried the mini Salmon Ikura don (my fav and perfect amount for me, comes with a slightly sweet dashi soy sauce), Salmon 2pcs Chan-chan yaki cooked tableside on hot pot griddle, Grilled Ribeye w/ veggies cooked on hot pot tableside. Both of the latter were good but needs patience when cooking lol. They suggest eating the ribeye with wasabi and/or the green tea salt which frankly scared me but our companion tried with the wasabi and said it made sense xD
Try the Yuzu soda, it's tart and very lightly sweet, I repeat, lightly sweet, different from high fructose laden soda. The Black sesame ice cream tastes like it is made in-house, I recommend it.
On busy days, it might seem like the food takes a while to arrive but it's worth waiting for the high quality you're getting. The food really tastes like it's made with love and care. Food is ALWAYS delicious and consistent.
Mayumi-san is always helpful and smiling when she's serving you. All of the staff are so nice and I don't feel out of place lol I enjoy the ambiance and atmosphere with jazz music playing in the background.
I feel this is the closest I'll get to authentic Japanese food.
