They are quick to serve ice waters. For my first drink, I'm having an All Fashion made with Bulleit Bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, Allspice Dram and Orange Bitters. This is good! It has a unique taste. No garnish though.
For my first item. I'm having a bowl of miso soup. This is actually a soybean broth. Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from a dashi broth mixed with miso paste, often including ingredients like tofu, seaweed (wakame), and scallions. This is good! It's nice and warm too!
For my next item, I'm having a Green Garden Salad made with fresh iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber "drenched" in their "famous" ginger dressing. That is LOT of dressing!
For an appetizer, we are having the Spicy Edamame. This is made with garlic butter, soy sauce and Japanese spice. Edamame is a popular Japanese appetizer of immature soybeans in the pod, typically boiled or steamed and served with salt. These are great! Some are really spicy!
For another appetizer, we are getting the vegetable gyoza. Jiaozi (gyoza) are traditional Chinese dumplings made of minced meat or vegetables wrapped in a thin dough. Oh yeah! These are good!
For my next drink, I'm having the Classic Manhattan. This is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and brandied cherry. This tastes good but could use a garnish.
For our sashimi, we are having the Sashimi Jalapeno made with jalapeno peppers over two pieces each of salmon, tuna and yellowtail finished with wasabi mayo. This is heaven! Wow!
For our hand rolls, we are having a vegetable roll made with cucumber, avocado and asparagus; a peanut avocado roll; spicy tuna roll made with chopped tuna, spicy mayo and crunch; Philadelphia roll made with cream cheese, smoked salmon and cucumber. Boomer loves the smokey salmon! These are all great!
For our Special Roll, we are having the Mummy Roll made with shrimp tempura with cucumber inside, topped with seared tuna, lobster salad, avocado, red tobiko with sweet and spicy citrus sauce. This is good! Love the shrimp tempura!
For our hibachi entrees, we are having the Lobster and Steak, Lobster and Chicken and Vegetable. This is yummy! Wish!
For our last drink, we are having a Lychee Martini made with Absolut Vodka, SoHo Lychee Liqueur, sake and lychee juice. These lychees ate huge! This tastes great! What a great meal here!
