hokkaido crab with yuzu jelly
went with wife & daughter to mikuni again on 25.7.2016. ^^
thought 50% discounts ending 1.8.2016. received amex mailer to the effect. anyway mikuni staff said they elected to remain status quo.
mikuni grand tour tasting menu
got a bit tired eating same staff on ala carte menu.
decided to take the kaiseki menu this evening. looked quite good including abalones, jap wagyu, qulaity sashimi…
prawn crisp
prawn crisp was standard. sometimes it was soft. today crisp, good! 🙂
hokkaido crab with yuzu jelly
hokkaido crab with yuzu jelly such a wonderful way to start..

so delightful to behold, so delicious to eat…
sashimi moriawase – aburi otoro, tai, hamachi, ika
wife & daughter asked for the otoro to be aburi-ed ie flamed.
sashimi moriawase – otoro, tai, hamachi, ika
hamachi & ika were excellent, tai still a bit fibrous…

the otoro were amazing..just looked at the marbling…
tempura asparagus with truffle
this so pretty…
asparagus kakiage with truffle
never taken a deep-fried asparagus before…
very nice of course, with truffle & ikura to boot…
tempura asparagus with truffle
very nicely done, chef!
tempura abalones
never taken tempura abalones either.
tempura abalones
it was good of course, but i still feel a bit wasted. will ask the chef to do the japanese or chinese braised version next time.
grilled ayu
ayu looked so nice also.
grilled ayu
you can see lot of robatayaki restaurants in japan (say shinjuku) where people gathered at the open hearth to enjoy this skewered delicacy.
the meat is finer than say saba & sanma, maybe that’s why japanese like this. for me i prefer oily flavourful fish like saba & sanma much better! this ayu too bland for me….
grilled miyazaki wagyu
the miyazaji wagyu was simply heavenly.
grilled miyazaki wagyu
hachi’s ohmi is a better quality wagyu but the overall experience were just as good for both dishes. these miyazaki beef very well charred & very marbled & flavourful.
sushi
we had a tuna & shima aji sushi to round off the dinner.
sushi
quite good la…no complaints.
shiso sorbet & yogurt
the shiso leaf sorbet & yogurt mousse was quite a nice dessert. refreshing & something new, not the run of the mill ice creams & yuzu jelly.
very delicious & enjoyable dinner. though we come mikuni many times, we usually order ala carte & very rarely take the kaiseki menu. this one turned out to be really excellent.
