There was a special 'pre-theatre menu' that I chose, which was perfect prior to seeing a dazzling performance by The Flying Karamazov Brothers, full of juggling, music, comedy ... anyway you want to hear about the food.
The tuna was absolutely fantastic, very fresh and clear tasting, with a light texture on perfectly cooked rice. The uramaki (inside-out rolls) tasted great too, although I had to add some wasabi - not hot enough for my taste-buds!
The miso soup I tried was great: not too salty , not too sweet, but a good balance. Lovely and refreshing.
On the generous set menu too was a mixed tempura. I was particularly impressed with the prawn tempura, which had a beautiful, almost scallop-like texture, together with a tweet flavour and crisp batter. I liked the inclusion of ocra in the vegetable selection, which I hadn't tried as tempura before, but I think it went very well. Accompanying the original tentsuyu dipping sauce was the restaurant's own creation of a piquant, pleasantly spicy, and slightly citrus sauce.
Overall, a fantastic meal and I hope to return as often as possible!
