Recently we've encountered added cheese to their sweet tamagoyaki nigiri. Adding cheese made it nicer...I'm almost reminded of cheesecake.
Lobster croquette - could get those crustacean-y flavour in the creamy centre. Okay tasting but was pretty greasy. Looked at the soak in the background.
I wonder why the sardine tempura nigiri aren't a regular item. I think they're not bad tasting.
The quality of their aburi engawa nigiri appears to have gone up somewhat. It's not longer that measly strip of fin these days. I hope they preserve this quality in quantity same moving forward.
Pretty good shrimp tempura nigiri which had fresh tasting prawns. These were well fried to the point that the crispy tails could be eaten with ease.
Some cheesy fried mushroom wrap. Not bad tasting. Was freshly fried with a whole cap of mushroom inside. Tasted meaty.
Don't recall having had gindara nigiri before. This one was aburi shoyu gindara. Fish was chewier than the cooked variety and didn't particularly remind me of the flavour when it's cooked.
Not passing on the ankimo gunkan.
Yes we have gotten fries here. They aren't bad. Heh heh......
With winter comes shirako. Tempura-ed with ankake. Not bad but I don't know why they had to do this with so much grated ginger.
We were somewhat conned, once, with an order of shishamo tempura. The first fish was filled with plenty of roe. The rest of the fishes from the same plate had none. While I generally like them for their roe, I was actually ok with these without.
Amusingly named 'boss level scallop stack'...
Hokkaido squid tororo konbu. Squid was unexpectedly gummy which we didn't like. Couldn't make out anything distinctive with that tororo konbu.
While this fried aji was suppose to be a nigiri, one could tell that not much care or follow up with its processing and presentation aligned with the intent. We ordered this for fried aji, not so much because we wanted a nigiri version as well so I guess we might all be looking at it the same way.
Their warabi mochi parfait has upgraded the waffle. It's now a sandwich with a thin layer of cream in the middle. Nice.
