We arrived at our hotel in the late afternoon and by the time we were settled in, night had fallen. We were hungry. We decided to roam around the Kita district to find a place to eat. Amidst the high end bars and clubs, we managed to find a sushi restaurant, and we had a truly memorable dinner! Our hostess spoke very little English, but we managed to communicate by sign language. Despite our handicap of speaking very little Japanese, we were given an gustatory delight!
The miso soup is absolutely hands down the best miso soup I have tasted in my entire life. I don't know what they put in it, but it was so tasty, to the point of having sweetness without any noticeable sugar.
We each had a sushi platter. Each piece was truly oishii! It was like we had tasted a whole new level of Japanese food. The chef was probably amused by our facial expressions that he prepared miniature samples of sushi (in the bottom picture, each piece is around one centimeter in length).
We shared an ebi tempura platter. This came hot off the frying pan. Crunchy on the edges, yet the meat was soft. Served with lemon, which was something that I didn't expect.
We spent something like Y38,000 for a group of 4. Pretty steep but we were in the Kita business district, and it was well worth it. I don't even know if I can find that restaurant again, all I can remember was that it was around a 15 minute walk from our hotel.
