...try Omakase at Nogawa?

At my friend’s recommendation, I decided to try Omakase at Nogawa. I had a fresh tomato with salt to start off the meal, yes gals, H actually ate a fresh tomato. Although I’ve not exactly fallen in love with raw tomatoes, I did feel that it was refreshing and it whet the palate for more good things to come.

Next up was the sashimi platter, with the tuna belly melting in my mouth, it was over all too soon! If only I had some Ikura in the platter *drool*.

Baby eel in vinegared sauce (above). I slurped the smooth, cool eel down and it set the stage for the rest of the meal!

Kobe beef wrapping deep-fried garlic (I believe) was up next, and finally, something that S could take a bite out of too! ( since S doesn't take raw food!) It was delicious, though a just a little strong on the garlic.

Soup was Milt with Dancing Mushrooms ( I forget which fish the milt came from), the thought was a little disgusting but hey, what’s life without trying out some new stuff. The soup and mushrooms were delightful, but I think milt may be an acquired taste.

Braised seasonal squid in sweet sauce, with its eggs in the squid (above). This was well done, the squid with its eggs had a lovely texture as you chew on it.

For sushi, I had yellowtail, tuna pre-soaked in shoya, seared tuna belly, omelet, octopus and more tuna. The sushi was fresh and I loved the seared tuna belly!

Strawberries for me for dessert!

I do love having a good Japanese dinner because it always leaves me refreshingly ‘lightly’ full, if you get what I mean.
