Saturday night I went to get some sushi with my mom and neighbor. Its a usual spot for us and as always it was excellent. We started with the hot towel service, always a pleasure for me. Also we got this little free bar appetizer consisting of leftover fish that was fried accompanied with a seaweed salad. Like I have said in the past I adore when things like this are given before a meal.
Miso soup, a staple in Japanese restaurants, this time very different. The first thing that struck me was that it was sweet. Not the usual salty fare that I'm used to. No this was sweet, a new twist on miso soup. Perhaps a little too sweet for my taste, never the less I was surprised. The tofu was soft but still had some stability. Overall a nice new flavor.
Unagi is probably in the top 5 of my favorite foods. The meat is so tender and the crispy skin has a lovely smokey element to it. This unagi held true to that, especially the sauce. It tastes almost like a derivative of teriyaki sauce. I cant quite put my finger on it but its so very very tasty. The rice was seasoned with parsley(I think) and plenty of the unagi sauce. I loved this dish it warmed my soul!
Finally I needed something cool and refreshing to counter the hot and strong-flavored food. I got a tuna and cucumber roll. Simple, cool and basic.This roll was made with good quality tuna and fresh cucumber. Very Nice roll.
Its been rather strange eating truly real food. My tongue exploded like it was released from chains. I look forward to nights like this in the coming days.
