It was Friday eve and I was more than pretty tried, but the visit to Saiko was very nice. The chanterelles were probably the best... or ... wait.. edamame is always edamame. Yes, and there was a mayo-ebi sushi that was pretty nice (made me think of konbini onigiri... but I like that :)). Also, service... yes they actually try at Saiko.
On the minus side,
- No Japanese beer, what is that about?
- They expect you to take off your shoes, but you cannot go to the shoe shelf without walking with your bare socks on the same floor where you just stepped with your shoes.
- Acidity, tsukemono is lovely but when serving a set meal there should be a balance between all the tastes. If one dish is very acidosis, the next one needs to bring you back a more neutral state. And
- Not sure if spicey kimechi, delicious as it may be, is the best way to start of a meal if you want people to feel all the delicate elements of the following dishes.
