Yesterday was a blur and needed my Raku fix on! Grateful for an awesome company, we were greeted with friendship and hospitality, thanks to Satay's own Saturday nights Patio Sessions resident DJ Nathan Sense Uhlir, who splurged us with a pitcher of Sapporo beer and a side of laughs throughout dinner.
It has been a while since my last visit to Raku and I was pleased that Raku expanded their restaurant with a new room. The table that we sat in was really cool. It had an open rectangular shape in the middle of our booth/table that had a mini traditional/organic barbecue pit.
Mr. Uhlir ordered most of the items on the special black board menu and everything was fantastic! I only wish that I had written down the names, but since I didn't my list of items in US version as follows:
Homemade cold and hot tofu.
Raw cold meat with amazing edible accessories on top & a drop of sauce
Special Toro Dish (seared fatty tuna)
Special grilled Salmon collar bone
from the Robatta Grill:
Enoki Mushroom wrapped with Bacon
Green Hot Chili Pepper
Kurobuta Pork Cheek
And last but not least: Soba buckwheat noodle salad with amazing secret dressing! Each time we order this salad, we drink the excess dressing like soup!
I LOVE RAKU! Service and food never fails and last night, I had tears of joy in my Raku!
