Dinner with VeggieGal, celebrating final demise of looooong project. Around 10 counter seats overlooking Japanese Chef Kinjo working over an electric grill. Various other tables lining a long and narrow space. Seemed counter seating was more comfy and roomy.Since we made a reservation, server reminded us of the minimum $400 spending per head. No problem at all, with all the alcohol 🍺🍶 that we were gonna order.Comprehensive menu with specialties from Okinawa.Here’s what we had.EdamameJumbo Japane

Cold Shima Tofu from Okinawa, known for its firmer texture.
Sliced raw yam from Aomori. Its viscous texture went well with the wasabi and seaweed.
Raw prawns with the heads grilled separately.
Japanese free range chicken wing and thigh.
Grilled yam with soy sauce
Another Okinawa specialty- fried wheat gluten (fu) with corned beef bits and assorted vegetables like bitter melon, carrot etc.. Prominent taste of pepper and spongy dough.
Grilled Okra, Mushroom and green pepper skewers.
Grilled Rice Ball with Butter. My favorite dish of the night- perfect doneness.

Nattou (fermented soybeans) and Kimchi wrapped in Grilled Tofu Skin. Not generally a fan of nattou (normally this slimy, sticky, and stringy breakfast dish is served with rice/raw egg in the onsens)- first time taking it in this fashion. Pleasantly surprised: the kimchi muted the pungent flavours of the natto; leaving a trail of umami.

Wanted to order the grilled scallop which was sold out. Friendly server recommended against the grilled fish, noting it was too much for us.
Had in mind a green tea IceCream to finish off, but was informed that they didn’t serve any dessert; thereby ending our nite in a lame limbo.
In summary: authentic cozy eatery. The Grilled Rice Ball alone was sufficient to lure me back for a revisit.
