Omakase

Ha and Trung talked to Chef Ti to come up with a special Omakase just for our group.

Seaweed salad

Very nice with vibrant colors. 

Miso soup 

Raw Tako Salad.

The tako (octopus) is very fresh, crunchy, and the marinate is really delicious.

Onsen tamago with Uni & Ikura

Onsen tamago, a softly cooked egg in flavorful soy broth, and it is a popular breakfast item in Japan.  The egg has a unique texture in that the white tastes like a delicate custard (milky and soft) and the yolk comes out firm, but retains the color and creamy texture of an uncooked yolk. This special texture is the result of the egg yolk and egg white solidifying at different temperatures.  Chef Ti, also makes his own by adding a bit of Maggi sauce.

This portion is for 2 people.  I never had Char fish before and out the 3 fish, the Char is my favorite.

Our group hanging around the kitchen.

It was such a fun evening!, Very good sushi in a friendly and relax atmosphere.  We felt pretty much at home and we did not have to tone it down, expecially when the game was playing. 

This is the first time that we went out as a group of 12 people on a Thursday and so glad everyone was able to make it.

Happy birthday to both Tuan!
