Morimoto Sashimi
Look at this crazy thing!! Five little test tubes of sauces: BBQ eel, roasted orange and yellow pepper, arugula, and yuzu and then five layers of sashimi. They "encouraged" us to use our appetizer plates as "painter's palates" and mix and match fish and sauce. Kind of hard to eat, but really different and fun. :)
This is not adventurous AT ALL, but this shrimp tempura is out of the world.
Nom nom. Our "Chef's Choice" sushi. Seriously, so so good. Very expensive and there are definitely good ones for a lot less $$ in the city, but none better. The fish is so soft and tasty, the rice is nice and sweet with a good texture. I don't even normally like spicy tuna, but that roll last night was so super good. Love it.
My "new food" of the day was the fish in the bottom center next to the rolls: Jackfish. At least I'm ~90% sure that's what she said. According to Google/Wiki, the best I can figure is it's actually just pike, but I'm not sure. (Might just be a cousin of yellowtail? Well anyway, she said a fish name I didn't recognize and I ate it and liked it, so #17 - eat new foods, you get a CHECK!)
We ordered cocktails and got carded (love it) and the waitress mentioned a "Happy Belated Birthday" to me. And then at the end of the meal, brought out these ice cream sandwiches - Chocolate, Cardamom, Banana. Omg, the texture was perfect, and how cute is that stenciled wafer!! What a nice touch!
Anybody have a better guess as to what a jackfish is??
