We didn’t get to go to Sushi Yasuda last week since we were busy with weddings and they were closed July 4th-6th so by this week I was missing my sushi meals. The familiar pieces were glorious as always and they still had new pieces to offer.
We’ve had Kuchiko several times before but always the red one, which we learned last night, is the female. This time, I got to try the male, which is white. The flavor is very much the same, but it seems to be slimmer so I prefer the female. (Sorry for the blurry pic. Didn’t bring the SLR.)
Jack Mackerel has the familiar flavor of mackerel, a bit toned down, and the flesh is more slippery.
On our last visit, Lon saw another patron having the green tea mochi ice cream so he wanted to try it this time. It’s one of the best I’ve had. It’s not too sweet, the mochi is chewy but delicate, and the unsweetened powder on top just blows it away for me. I imagine that serving it at just the right temperature is important too. It’s also a steal at $2 (with any sushi combo meal).
That was one of the best green tea mochi ice creams Eddie and I ever had as well. The mochi was so soft and chewy and the ice cream was packed with lots of green tea flavor!
I love Japanese mochi ~ grew up with it and brings such memories….your pictures are lookin lovely!
My mouth watered looking at that mochi.
Thanks everyone! Looks like we could start a mochi fan club…hehe
Awesome! Do you know what kind of Yukon River salmon is coming in? The Coho Salmon is just ending its season (the texture is a tad firmer than Chinook) and the Keta Salmon is just beginning its harvest season (the flavor is the closest to butter that fish can get except for uni). Yum!
Dr. Food, you sure know a lot about salmon. I don’t know which one but it sounds like I want the Keta Salmon.
