Sushi Dinner

Tokyo - Terry took me to a sushi bar near to the office and it was quaint.  I have been here once before and the chef was very friendly.   We started off with 'biru'.

sashimi platter
Starting from the right - Macheral, Bonito, clams and small squid. I thought it was tuna but it was a different type of fish - Bonito are a tribe of medium-sized, predatory fish in teh Scombridae family, belonging to the Sardini tribe.   


Japanese tuna
white fish
another type of white fish
mackeral with chopped shallots
sardine
Japanese clam sushi
small scallops sushi
sea urchin (uni) sushi
This was the best uni I have ever eaten - it is soft and sweet. I actually do not like uni because it has a bitter aftertaste. I was told by the Chef that this is a high grade Uni.


deep fried prawn shell

All of the prawns can be eaten and not go to waste; so the head of the prawn is deep fried and you can the crispy and crunchy part of the shell. We had a very delicious and good dinner.

Terry was not finish yet and we adjourned to another quaint joint which is bar.
