- The oyster, AMAZING. The apple mignonette makes it.. damn. So good. And love that it wasn't very fishy. 
- Uni mousseeeee. awesome. 
- Scallop was very thick and heavy, not my fav way but still really good
- First time having karasumi, interesting. Dried mullet roes *_*

Kodai nishu yaki

- I actually really loved the nori one. Always love uni but don't know if it really gels with the sea bream, Nori tho brings out the flavor amazingly. (still love uni tho.. ofc)

- MELT IN YOUR MOUTH WAGYU. SO GOOD. 

Lobster tempura soba 
tempura fried lobster with buckwheat noodles in a dashi broth
