Live Sea Urchin, much better than our first experience here.

P1380567

That was to fill us up before our big meal later at Kanpai.

Stanley Chef loves to use yuzu for many items.

P1380568

First 4 items: Very refreshing

Jellyfish –  I especially liked the jellyfish’s texture, never ate it like this before.

Kumamoto oyster – ordinary

Toro with uni on top was Galen’s favorite – melt in your mouth

Halibut – love the kick of the spice and yuzu added to the halibut 

P1380570

Sashimi time:

Live Scallop (too much salt)

King Salmon from New Zealand – fatty but we were not impressed

Ono- another melt in the mouth

Mackerel wrapped with mint and cucumber – sweet and minty, very refreshing my favorite from this dish (my favorite from this plate)

Albacore with sesame sauce – the fried topping and the albacore created different textures in the mouth (Galen’s favorite because of the sauce)

Razor Clam – never had it raw before – some parts were sweet and some not, but I loved how 爽it was

P1380573

Next up maitake spinach and seafood soup

P1380574

有一D草未

P1380576

Mushroom dynamite – I think this was a filler dish

P1380579

Fried Mackerel – we ate it as clean as we could

P1380580

Sushi:

I couldn’t quite catch everything Chef Stanley said.  But still tasty

P1380582

More sushi – these were much more amazing than above

Kama Toro

Wagyu Beef

Uni with caviar and truffle sauce

Ikura – salmon roe – we were amazed how the roe stuck to each other

P1380584

Galen loved it so much – this one gets its own snap of a picture

P1380589

Fried shrimp head

P1380590

Sushi

Halibut – a little too salty

Octopus with ankimo – the octopus was still a bit tough

Anago – I would have preferred unagi

P1380591

Blue crab roll – lots of mayo

P1380594

Uni – 5 ways

We saw someone order this and couldn’t help but do the same

P1380597

Complimentary dessert – we had to gulf it down as we had no time to lose to pick up Aiden

P1380598

We made it in time.  Don’t let the title fool you – This was a celebration for Birthday celebration for Galen
