This was yamamomo, some sort of Japanese berry I'd never seen before. It was absolutely delicious, texture of a blueberry and flavour of a perfectly ripe peach

A salad of deep fried spinach garnished with ginger shoots or something. There were a few slices of sashimi hidden underneath.

Incredible texture and flavours. One of the best spinach dishes I've ever had

Nigiri and a deep fried cube of rice topped with scallop and caviar

Keep it up, this looks tasty as fuck

The rice cube was the most interesting, they used sushi rice to make it. The flavour of the raw scallop was overwhelmed however and I couldn't taste much of it.

The nigiri had juuust the right amount of wasabi brushed on to highlight the flavours of the fish. The rice was on the cool side but well seasoned. Tuna, yellowtail and Spanish mackerel left to right

A big fat seared scallop with Jalapeño salsa and seared Brussel sprout.

The scallop was so sweet and tasty, and though not normally a fan I enjoyed the Brussel sprout too.

>>8313271
This was a bloody excellent meal, well worth every cent

>>8313206
holy shit what a rip off, and i like expensive omakase, but all of that shit you just ate and paid top dollar for was dunked in salsa and pickles. that shit is not worth 40 dollars let alone 125.

What's wound round the bone there?

>>8313244
It might be a Japanese variation. The ones I ate in China doesn't look like that and certainly don't taste like peach

The flavours were complimentary and not overwhelming, it was tasty and I enjoyed it

Yeah idk it was good though.

For final dessert we had Swedish fish oreos
A bit on the sweet side but not bad for a novelty item

>>8313357
Hullo anon!

>>8313358
A strip of daikon radish, so you can eat it with your hands and not get your fingers dirty

>>8313363
It was quite sweet. What did yours taste like?

Glad you enjoyed your meal OP! Don't forget to grab a handful of those tamarind candies on the way out

Hope you guys enjoyed this thread!

>>8313383
Oh nooooo I must've missed those

>>8313391
We did, thanks for your pictures and commentary as always! Keep going and taking us with you.

How did the bf enjoy it btw?

>>8313382
i imagine the oreos not tasting good

>>8313400
He got a seared seabass fillet instead of the lamb chop because he doesn't like red meat, but he enjoyed it as much as I did!

>>8313406
I believe they would taste good if you were a fan of Swedish fish

>>8313236
How was this dish? The oil seems like it would overpower any flavor the sashimi would have.

>>8313244
I certainly hope a berry on a plate doesn't count as a course OP.

What a fun thread! Thanks for sharing OP

One day I'm going to have a nice job and a gf and take us out to a 125$ meal.

;_;

>>8313382
That's actually pretty brilliant with the daikon, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Those oreos trolled the fuck out of me for tasting exactly like swedish fish. All the taste but with oreo texture. feelsweirdman.

>>8313447
Sesame was definitely the dominant flavour here, but I could still taste the salmon sashimi.

>>8313450
It was a nice palate cleanser like the pickled ginger

>>8313453
You can do it anon! Everyone's gotta start somewhere!

>>8313458
They really did nail the flavour. It's not bad tasting, just incongruous

>>8313464
Was it 125 for 2, or each?

>>8313494
Each.

Did this fill you up?

>>8313499
where do u get the cash for dis

>>8313382
>It was quite sweet. What did yours taste like?
It tastes sour and sweet, kinda like a rum cherry. And it looks like a purple fuzzy ball

>>8313506
Yes. I wasn't super full but was very satisfied. People underestimate the amount of food there is because of the tiny portions but I've never left hungry after one of these meals. Though the time I had the 18 course menu I had to take a short break in between

>>8313511
This isn't a regular thing and we're pretty frugal in general. I cook our meals usually, we don't have a car and walk/take pub transport etc. All this adds up so once in a while we can afford to splurge on a nice meal.

>>8313519
That sounds wack. I'll try that if I ever come across it

>>8313382
Oh America.

>>8313602
I get the feeling OP isn't American you yuropeasant.

>>8313528
Wack means bad, stupid cunt.

You should have said "That sounds dope".

Good thread OP. Make this if you do it again.

Looked pretty tasty, but the tiny portions would piss me off if I was hungry

>>8313366
why did they spunk on the soufflé

How long did the meal last?

Was there a break between courses or was the next one served up as soon as you finished the previous?

>>8313719
That's wack

>>8313765
About 1.5 hours, the dishes came out pretty quickly. There was a bit of a break before the lamb course.

>>8313732
I do make threads whenever I have a nice meal that I think people find interesting.

>>8313214
That's cute

Great thread OP. Fuckin hungry now

>>8313255
>ginger shoots or something

Those are the severed arms of Cthulhus children

>>8313265

Come to think of it I've never had this, how was the texture?

>>8317963
pumpkin, heavy on the ginger! Graham cracker crust.

do you know what graham crackers are over there?

>>8318012
they're basically digestive biscuits innit? sounds good!

>>8318050
maybe? they're mildly sweet whole wheat and honey crackers baked very crisp, and you crush them up and mix with butter to make a crumb crust thats soft and crunchy at the same time.

little kids get them as a school snack pretty often

>>8318583
but instead of making a pie i can just dip the biccies in for the same taste and no effort

>>8313341
They lost me when they put jalepenos on tuna but this is a place that has to appeal to Americans

$125 for sushi topped with pickles, jalapeno, and swimming in soy sauce. I'd guess you ate in some shit west texas town if it wasn't for that insane price.

>>8320950
They used actual ground wasabi root. It does look the same as dyed horseradish but I much prefer the wasabi root.

Looks good OP, nice thread.

>>8321256
Glad ya enjoyed it!

>>8313274
That looks like the most perfect lean tuna i have ever seen. I want.

>>8313206
post your fat tits, chink

>>8322453
I was surprised at the high quality of the fish too, especially since it was in the mountains. The chef said they get their fish from California daily

Shits fancy
