Kishimoto

Kishimoto Japanese Kitchen & Sushi Bar Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Got there 15 minutes before opening... and where's the lineup? Looks like Tuesday nights might be a good day to go to avoid waiting, especially now when the weather's cold out.

Salmon Oshisushi ($13.95)
  • Tasty, but didn't feel that special compared to other aburi sushi I've had.
  • Despite the chili on top, not spicy.
Spicy Tuna Oshisushi ($13.95)
  • Sweet, tasty tuna on top (but not "spicy") + crunchy fun rice = winner!
Decoration on the sushi plate of a windmill-flower with edamame bean is edible but bland. Water in the "vase" is possibly watered down gatorade. Doesn't stick to the shredded turnip, though. Still, eat this so it won't get tossed as waste.
Seasonal Tempura ($12.95) chestnuts with a hint of truffle salt, persimmon wrapped in Jambon de Ardennes prosciutto with tendashi
  • Persimmon was interesting, but the best part of this appy was the chestnut -- thin crunchy skin slightly salty (hey, where's my truffle?) juxtaposing sweet chestnuts. Winner!
  • Get this just for the chestnuts, although price is atrocious if you end up not liking the persimmon and prosciutto.
Black Cod Misozuke ($13.95)
  • Sweet and creamy. Tasty.
  • Portion was about 2 packs of cigarettes.
Also available tonight was angler fish nigiri at $4.95 a piece. I gave it a pass this time since exotic meats have generally failed to impress me with any exotic flavour. Let me know if you try it.

Before tax this light meal was around $19 for each of 3 persons.

Cute girl servers and staff! More cute-cute than Cactus Club sexy-cute. Is this worth bonus points?

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
