Dinner at SHIN KUSHIYA was absolutely, absolutely fabulous. I know Rae raved about it in her blog already, but I've got to rave about it still! I love the Horenso salad (spinach with bacon and garlic chips tossed with soy dressing), and how the Osen Tamago (lightly-poached egg served chilled in a bonito broth) was so good chilled. The sashimi was so super fresh; apparently the prawns were so good they made Farand's eyes disappear in appreciation, haha! Their yakimono was excellent too, but that's what they specialize in. I love love love the mushrooms. I don't know how they do it, but the mushrooms were still fat and juicy and tender even though they were charcoal- grilled. Just absolutely makes me feel like bouncing around. The mozzarella cheese wrapped in bacon was super super amazing too! Ahhh!!! And oh, ohmygod, behold the Tonsei Inaniwa Udon, aka Duck Soba. The duck broth was ex-ce-llent and -get this- the flat noodles just slides down your throat. And its chilled. Chilled!! Ughh. *spasms and dies*
Anyway I hoped Rae you enjoyed it, cos I certainly did. Haha!(: I'm gonna miss you badly when you go to the US. Oh wells. I'll just have to survive a whole sem without you and then I'll have you back!!:D And we'll go eat at Shin again!!:D:D:D
