| - Wow, wow... i loved it. My girl friends and I came into Vegas Friday afternoon and called in to make a reservations for a late dinner. We ordered 8 seats for omakase. It was delicious. I loved everything that came out. I can't remember everything or the proper names, but everything was great. I would love to come out again the next time I'm in town :)
It was a 10 course omakase for 9 girls. Everyone had plenty to eat and were stuuuuffed by the end. It started with sashimi of this wonderful white fish. Light fresh flavor, great texture. Unfortunately I forget it's name. Then the other half of the fish came out fried. I was great to have it cooked 2 different ways. And both ways the meat was delicious. They also served us slices of this wonderful mushroom. Again! I'm sorry I forget the name of it. It's suppose to be a special kind of mushroom, a sort of delicacy. It was suggested we try it first w/o the accompanied sauce, then with, if we wished. It was great both ways, and actually preferred the light mushroom flavor without the soy based sauce.
Another favorite was their fresh agedashi tofu and the best kobe beef skewers. The pork cheek was also delicious and had great texture, not gamey (said some of our guests that are sensitive to pork).
Other things that came out was yakitori chicken meat balls. Good but I think the texture was a little too soft. Though it was moist and not over cooked. Grilled grape tomatoes on a skewer. These were light a sweet and refreshing. There was a tataki beef skirt dish good too though I preferred the skewered beef :) A sort sort of miso soup but thicker. It didn't have anything in it except some green onions and salmon eggs on the top. It was rich and creamy and served cold. I personally liked it but a few out of our group weren't big fans of this. They also closed with a salmon stone pot rice dish, that included flaky salmon and salmon eggs. I'm not usually a fan of salmon roe but it was fresh and not to fishy. Though I'd say I could pass on this last dish.
We closed with a great strawberry sorbet. For my friend's special day they served her a "cheese cake". But it wasn't just cheese cake. It was light an fluffy, like the "cheese" was created into a mousse so it was light and not overly sweet.
As a side note they also have on the table a green salt... i think some sort of green tea salt?... man was that flavorful and yummy. A light saltiness, slight savory flavor. Nothing overly intense but when added to food it brings out the flavor in what you're eating. It's wonderful!
