Every bite I had was absolute heaven. We started with a cucumber amuse that was very refreshing. Every description sounded great but we narrowed it down to a few choices that we shared.
Beet Fries - Great flavor and texture. I'm not typically a fan of beets, but these were really delicious.
Brussel Sprouts - An absolute must for me whenever they're offered on a menu and these did not disappoint. I see myself ordering these every time I come.
Avocado Nigiri - My mom's favorite of the evening. The flavors were amazing and all the sauces complemented and enhanced the flavor of the avocado superbly and it was beatifully presented with an edible flower.
Kaki-age - Not a showstopper dish, but once you dip the tempura into the sauce they provide, it was quite flavorful.
Sake orenji - The salmon was great. The subtle flavor or orange and roe really made the dish sing.
Watermelon salad - Absolutely amazing. The little bites of watermelon exploded with flavor and definitely pack a punch. One of my favorite flavors of the evening. I could eat this all day long.
Karaage - Different than any other version I've had. Probably my least favorite dish. Just a little too sweet for me, but the chicken was perfectly cooked and had great flavor.
Overall, I have to say this place surpassed my very high expectations. The menu is inventive and takes lots of risks and most of them pay off. Not to mention the prices are fantastic and service was attentive and friendly. We left full and satisfied for a very low price. I am already planning my return and expect to be a regular for Happy Hour.
