OMG, it was so good!   Seriously though, before I met Tony I don’t think I would ever step foot into a sushi bar!  I really have come a long way in trying new things.  Growing up the only vegetable I would eat was lettuce and cucumbers, never had peppers, broccoli, baby spinach – and now those are staples in my fridge!

here's where we went
here's where we went

 Hannah and I started out with miso soup – so good!  I left the scallions though!

I love the dishes they have there:

Tony started out with a Happy Avo:  It’s raw tuna and white fished served in an avocado bowl and an amazing sauce that really works well with the avocado – that’s the only part I try!

We never even saw this on the menu before until we were leaving and stopped in our tracks and had to ask what it was!

Hannah and I ended up splitting four appetizers.  This one has to be my favorite: Age-Dashi Tofu – its fried tofu in the most amazing sauce.  I asked and they said its corn starch on the outside – and even though its fried, it is not greasy at all.  Just a slight crunch on the outside and creamy goodness on the inside:

Next up was Yakitori, which is teriyaki glazed chicken on skewers.  It was good, but there were only two small skewers on the dish and it was $5!

Next then was the gyoza – Japanese style dumplings that have chicken and veggies.  Love that one side is crunchy!

And last but not least we split Shumai – deep fried shrimp dumplings.  The sauce on top really makes this dish – kind of a hot mustard?

Now onto the raw stuff!

This is Tony's plate!

Tony’s plate was a Rainbow roll (the roll in front) which is a California roll with a variety of fish on top.  Then he got salmon, tuna, a tuna roll, sweet shrimp, a salmon skin hand roll and his favorite fatty tunawhich he says tastes like buddah!

he literally closes his eyes when he eats this - if there's a heaven this is what they are serving!

I had a portion of his Rainbow roll – the part that’s cooked!

dipped in wasabi ginger soy sauce - yum!

And my drink this evening?  Kirin Light.  Only 95 calories a beer!  Now I really have no idea how many calories my dinner was, but I don’t really care.  I had 700 to spend so I am calling it a wash!

So can anyone guess the tab for 3 people eating sushi??

So happy there is a new Office and I don’t have to clean a kitchen!   I still have some shrimp left over from last night and am contemplating throwing together a shrimp quiche tonight for breakfast tomorrow – we’ll see!  Night all!
