I've been here a few times in the past year. Each time, on more of a whim and technically a post-dinner bite to eat.
Many of my friends and customers love it, so I thought I'd bring my parents (who are visiting for a week) here for dinner last night.
The tasting menu was fantastic and I highly recommend it. Plenty of dishes and pleasant hospitality.
It was right under 100 bucks a head last night (with drinks, tax and tip).
Tasting Menu per 2 people :
Fried Tofu julienned with Kinpira
Poached Turned Yams (taro) with Savory Sauce
Mushrooms in a Sweat & Sour Broth
Sashimi Platter - Chu Toro, Kanpachi, Shima Aji *
Tempura - Shrimp, Honshimeji Mushrooms, Shiso Leaf, Yams *
Fried Cod and Crab Meatballs *
Yuba (Soy Bean Curd) Sashimi
Broiled Kyoto Style Wheat Cakes
Sauteed Cubes of Filet Mignon
Black Cod Miso **
Dashi infused Egg Omelette
Oysters in Miso Grilled over a Hoba Leaf *
Inaniwa Udon with Dipping Sauce
Salmon and Salmon Roe on top of Bed of Rice *
Ice Cream
Interesting sidenote...
Chef Jean Georges eats here once a week with his family.
He apparently loves the concept of the restaurant and the meticulous nature of a Japanese kitchen.
And when something is out of the ordinary or off, he calls the chef over and they go over it right there on the spot.
Pretty Cool!
