The month is March, the City is Ginza, the meal is sushi, the night was amazing
We were simply given an address and a time. Taxi, walking, u turns, re-tracing our steps, entering and exiting lobby and lobby trying to find the right building. Finally we reached our destination.
Sushi Uoyu
This dashing character is a British Secret Service, or Scottish, I get the two confused all the time.....
Please take your shoes off before you eat
And now let's just dive right in.
This is an appetizer and it's small raw squid, some seaweed, and a squirt of jizz
Accompanying dishes await the next course
Sashimi Plate
Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp)
Super raw, super yummy
Giant clam
Super terrible
Chewy, tough, rough, blech
Just in time
The rest of the plate kicked ass
Various types of fish
And this guy too. Doesn't get fresher than that
They sashimi'd his body and made a sauce from his liver, the pink stuff to the left. Ginger and fish eggs and other stuff are offered as condiments.
Fish Flesh
Yesssssssssssssssssssss, just in time
Karaage
Normally this is chicken but can also be fish, like this is. The pepper was also really tasty.
Arigato gozaimasu Shin-chan
Grilled crab and some fish bones with a sparse amount of meat
Steamed clam course, light and refreshing
SUSHI!
This is an individual portion
I honestly forget what the heck this was. I think I liked it but who really knows at this point?.....
One would think that desert being served would signal the end to the meal.....
One would be wrong
JWL has arrived, and he's ready to party
And he wants more sake
And more
And more.
This from the guy that has to get on a flight in 2 hours, the rest of us are leaving in the morning.
Total utter destruction, but what a way to go.
I think the Secret Agent Man and I enjoyed a glass of Scotch at the bar atop our hotel after, but I cannot confirm that positively.
As Confucius always said
"Sake party in Ginza? Hell yeah!"
