Dinner. Our host was insistent to be served raw fish by Chef Ricky; whilst Brother was insistent in trying as many tempura dishes as possible. So we Ate. A. Lot.

As for tempura- was definitely one of the best I’ve tried. Chef used Japanese sesame oil- very light and fresh. We had:
-king crab
-沙錐魚 (kisu)
-oyster
-Shirako
-賴尿蝦、蠶豆
-Abalone 、persimmon
Dessert: fruits and sesame IceCream
In summary: good nite out. Lively atmosphere as everyone sitting at the counter was sake lovers. We ended up swapping bottles to try. Food was good. Brother was already planning his dinner at the tempura counter.
