Kiki Japanese Restaurant
20150813:
I've been eating sushi just about everywhere I go...
And today I drank a little bit of hot sake. Speaking of which, my friend got this peach sake cocktail with jelly. It had an awesome texture and tasted so peachy that I could hardly taste the sake.
In any case, we had several rolls and out of the various rolls, the Lady Gaga was the best. Containing eel and tofu, quite the combination, the Lady Gaga had an amazing texture (and I didn't have any negative reaction to the tofu).
Unfortunately, the soft shell crab wasn't as flavorful. In particular, the lettuce in that roll was the dominant texture and flavor.
On the other hand, the tiger roll was above average (somewhere between good and great).
Finally, the salmon sashimi was good, but not great. 9:45PM PT
Kiki Japanese Restaurant is right next door to Ebisu Restaurant, another sushi place. Looking up reviews on Yelp, I was inclined to go to Ebisu, but the handful of people waiting beyond the doors and my hunger led me to walk past it and into Kiki. While there will undoubtedly be a difference in quality, I was happy with the Lady Gaga and sashimi at Kiki. In addition, with artwork from/inspired by Miyazaki films such as Spirited Away (2001) and My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki Japanese Restaurant had a casual feel to it.
