Three person party, she was very interested in the restaurant. And as it turns out... Dinner here works best like a Tapas joint. (Not something I considered before but should have.)\n\nThis time we ordered a round of items.\nWagyu Beef Aburi, Mixed Tempura, Fried Oysters (with awesome tartar sauce btw), Sashimi Salad, Tofu Salad (the tofu is made fresh at the restaurant....delicious!) and Yamakake Don. \n\nFried Oysters\nI normally have a hard time with fried oysters. its like they get soggy.... Or something. But man... I just had to be going to the wrong restaurants. The were crispy, fried perfectly. And the tartar sauce... Yeah. I was happy. OH and eat the cabbage. It helps with all the oil. Its like a salad. Ask for a side of dressing or something. It is considered part of the dish... Why waste it!\n\nMixed Tempura\nJust as good as with the Tempura Lunch Special. \n\nSashimi Salad\nThe care put into making some if these dishes. I had a small moment where I felt, \"this is taking a while...\" Then this lovely dish walked out and I wondered what I was thinking. Several fish options (I recognized tuna and salmon... But there were others. My apologies for not recognizing my fish...I fail.) \n\nWagya Beef Aburi\nLooks so cute! But tastes so epic. I especially love the crisp garlic chips! This is a dish served Carpaccio style. So if raw meat is a difficult item for your taste, stand clear! Otherwise, go for it. \n\nTofu Salad\nLooks like a mound of bean curd. Totally delicious bean curd with some greens underneath. If you like tofu, get this. I am not being kind. This was a great dish. Simple but great. And feel free to pour the dressing on top. cones on the side so you feel you should be conservative with it. \n\nYamakake Don\nI ate this bad boy on my own. Yea, it should have soy sauce as the Chef came out and instructed me. I did a single circle around. Mixed it all up as instructed. Went to town. It is an intimidating dish. Its gooey and sticky. But the basic build is rice on the bottom, yam paste (which is the sticky part), raw tuna, seaweed, and wasabi. I took some of the wasabi off before mixing. I like spicy but this wasabi was seriously kicking my butt. And to my surprised, this dish was really good. I tried it more as a challenge? Looked unique and strange so I just wanted to know!\n\nService still needs work, but that will come along. Everyone is still very nice. Chefs included. Just ask if you need something. They will get the hang of it I am sure!"^^ . "1"^^ . .
