-kobe beef sashimi - I picked this off of my neighbor. I loved the seasoning (ginger, garlic, chives, ponzu, pink hawaiian sea salt, and seared with hot sesame oil). the jalapeno slice might have been too hot for me... I would eat one between two slices of beef (but i'm a big baby. I need milk for mild salsa).
- house made pork gyoza - I picked off my neighbor again. They get points for making their own. They were also quite tasty, but nothing special.
- sashimi tapas - yum! variety is great. loved the real wasabi. bbq salmon... eh. loved the walu.
-lobster tempura in spicy lemon ailoi - yesssss! and loved the aioli. i've never had it before with tempura and it's so good i'd get it again and again. a totally different tempura experience.
-scallops and foie gras - oh god. so good. melt into buttery nothingness as soon as it hits your mouth. This is the menu description: jumbo scallops from hokkaido japan, topped with medallions of foie gras, crispy smashed potatoes, and a soy-mirin grastrique.
-one of the specials of the day/week... pan fried walu or something. it was so delicious I forgot to take a picture of it until I was almost finished. i've never had walu before this experience, but i love the texture. firm but buttery.
-The last savory dish was a special of fried squid. They were older than what one would use for calamari, so they were a bit tougher. Flavor wise they were quite tasty.
And what meal would be complete without dessert. My friend had personally made and come up with this chocolate panna cotta with blackberry sauce. He likes to experiment with different ideas. I should tell him about this jasmine tea infused chocolate mousse. Apparently the desserts are always changing and the servers let customers know what they have that night.All in all, the best (i.e. decadent) meal I've had in a looooooong time.e quite tasty.
