Sunday Sushi & Sake.

There was no Sunday lunch at my in-laws' today, so, as usual, we took the boys out to lunch. My second son wanted to try out Sushi Kappo Kobikicho since he saw my post on the recent Usual Suspects lunch there. Unfortunately, it is closed on Sundays - thus, we went to old reliable Toki Japanese Fusion & Fine Dining. We've taken the boys here before, but, this time, they all tried different dishes.


Sanshu Sashimi No Carpaccio Toki Style


Unagi Bou Sushi


Sashimi Nanasu Moriawase


Our youngest ordered a plate of California Roll as well, he took this photo himself.


Nasu To Tofu No Agedashi Yasai Ankake


Ebi Tempura



The boys ordered their individual main courses: 2 Una-ju Sets and 1 Tempura Udon. I also got an Osuimono (Fish and Clam Clear Soup) for me (sorry, no photos). I had the bowl of Hot Udon that came with the youngest's Una-ju Set since he didn't want it.



With these I had no wine - well, no wine from grapes anyway. I did have an order of Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai - I've had this at my last Kaiseki dinner at Toki, with the Manila Gentlemen's Club. Dry, a hint of citrus, with faint undertones of cocoa/carob/toasted rice towards the back. Served cold, it was very pleasant for a hot summer Sunday and as a pairing for all the raw fish dishes as well as the ebi tempura.



There were a few bowls of fresh fruit for dessert, but I don't think anyone touched them. Nice, relaxing Sunday lunch out with the family.

Wow, that is GORGEOUS sushi, Noel. Great variety, and so inventively and stylishly plated. You obviously didn't suffer for having to put up with the old "standby". Btw, what kind of camera do you use?

Hi, Jenise.

Yes they do plate stylishly in this restaurant - with more modern a twist than other Japanese establishments here. The young chef, Shinsuke Yonekawa is very talented.

As regards the camera used here, it was an old Canon PowerShot Pro 1.

Now that Sushi Chef knows what he is doing. I have never seen such beautiful presentations. I love all the colors and the dishes on the table are lovely.

I can't get over how vivid the blues are. Do you enhance that digitally or is that straight off the, er, lens?

I do minimal enhancement with brightness normally since I'm most always in low lit restaurants. Color enhancement? I do it rarely, but do not recall if I did it with this batch of pictures. I don't think I did.
