| - I was so thrilled to try this place out, but I didn't leave here super pleased. :(
Before I start this review, I must say that I am not a fan of seafood aka raw fish aka fish aka most of the things on the menu. I prefer cooked foods, chicken, vegetables and red meat. So dun, dun dun, I tried the hiyashi chawanushi, agedashi tofu, asparagus okaki, juicy fried chicken, kobe beef filet, kobe beef skirt, grilled duck, and eggplant.
Hiyashi chawanushi: This dish was a daily special. I believe it was an egg custard with crab and something else on top. Like I said above, I'm not a fan of seafood, and this dish had such a fishy taste to it. I gagged a little after trying it, and I couldn't get rid of the fishy taste it left in my mouth. We left 90% of it left, because the dish itself was overwhelming.
Agedashi tofu: I have to agree with all the other yelpers. The best and most fresh tofu. Get this!
Asparagus okaki: This dish comes with pieces of asparagus breaded with rice cracker. Very delectable.
Juicy fried chicken: The best dish. Like its name, it was six pieces of extremely mouthwatering chicken on a bed of spinach. The chicken itself was superb. The spinach and the sauce complimented the chicken. I definitely recommend this!
Kobe beef filet with wasabi/kobe beef skirt with garlic: Very nice cuts of kobe beef. I liked the garlic one more, because all I could taste was wasabi and no meat.
Grilled duck: I can't remember much about the duck except for its tangy aftertaste and chewiness. Bleh, I guess I was expecting something different. Thank goodness they present each table with tea afterwards, because I could not stand the aftertaste.
Eggplant. Grilled eggplant sprinkled with a ton of dried ginger. The eggplant was soft and appetizing, but the ginger ruined it for me. The ginger itself has a strong flavor, and I thought there was just too much ginger on there. I still ate it, but I took off most of the ginger.
Of the eight dishes, I would only come back for the tofu, asparagus and juicy fried chicken. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but I would not come back here. :c
