| - Turning fairly available material into a great dish, "immortalizing the ingredients", that's what they do here at Kiku. If only comparing the dish names on menu to other Japanese places in town, not a big difference can be seen. But the freshness they keep in their food is just amazing. From sushi, sashimi to the fried tempura and the grilled shioyaki, they are all so fresh! That I believe, is the soul of Japanese food.
Went with friends for the first time tonight. We had mixed tempura, shioyaki, chirashi sushi and the sushi lover for two. Everything was absolutely great except for the cucumber-tuna rolls, which mainly served as refreshment between great flavors (I used them the way as Japanese people use ginger). Entrees came with miso soup, which also tasted good.
Price is okay regarding the type and quality of food, ~35 per person for us to get pretty full. Taken the fact its a Japanese restaurant, and such a good one, I really can't complain about anything.
