| - 2nd time here and I am still impressed. The quality of their sushi, the service, the presentation all deserve five stars.
Came here on a Monday night and my wife, baby daughter, and I were greeted and seated right away. We were given hot towels to wash our hands and our menus in front of us showed the many specials of the day. We were also told they had a $90 seven course tasting menu but since my wife is pregnant we decided to be safe and order ala carte.
Amuse-bouche - the chef gave a complimentary treat to start the night off. See my pictures below. An piece of apple on a spoon with fresh fennel and jelly eggs served over tea. The server told us we were supposed to eat the apple while also drinking the tea. It was fun. Very delicious. They also brought one for my daughter so I had two. Lol.
We ended up ordering the brussels sprouts and shrimp tempura for apps. I liked the brussels sprouts more than I thought I would!
We also ordered the pokuyaki. Pork with apples and dried fennel. Presentation was nice, I had to admire their great job before eating it. Very yummy.
I ordered the 5 piece nigiri omakase. The chef picked five fresh pieces of fish for me to try. Bluefin tuna from Spain, yellowtail, salmon belly, flounder, and something I cannot pronounce. The last two were different and new to me but I enjoyed them all.
I ordered 1 piece of Uni. So fresh, so creamy. A sushi spot that has good uni to me means they are the real deal.
Last but not least, the sake orenji!! Get two of these. Sooooo dammnn good. Thick fresh slices of salmon on top of mandarin oranges, tobiko on top, served on orange oil. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.
For dessert, we ordered the greenies. Green tea brownie on pistachio coffee soil with green tea ice cream and strawberry mint ice cream. It also came with "strawberry soup". Wow looks nice, tasted great!
Be back soon, Yonaka!
