After the report on the two stars of the night here is the full report of our first dinner ofthe year at Sushi Ko Restaurant in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City!
O-toshi/snack coming with the first drink was tuna sashimi (akami/lean part)!
As for the first drinks we started with Chablis, a wink at my home country, Bourgogne!
I did switch later to Sake while the Dragon took care of the wine!
First, the sashimi plate with the recommended fish of the day: Akami/Tuna lean part, kinmedai/Spledid Alfonsino and Hirame/Sole-Grouper!
Sushi Ko is not all sushi and sashimi but also some succulent cooked dishes!
Geso karaage/Deep-fried squid tentacles!
Ankimo/Japanese foie gras/Frogfish-Monkfish liver steamed in sake!
Sushi Ko’s specialty: Sushi Millefeuille!
Japan meets France: Scallops Gratin!
Hotate/Scallops sushi nigiri!
Ikura/Salmon roe sushi gunkan!
Shiroebi/White shrimps sushi gunkan!
Ika shiokara/Pickled cuttle fish for the Dragon!
A special roll not on the menu with shiso/perilla leaf, ume/pickled Japanese plum flesh, natto/fermented beans and ika/squid-cuttle fish!
Deep-fried shiroebi/white shrimp eaten whole!
And plenty of nameko mushroom miso soup to wash it all down!
