I have to come to Kabuki with you Mark. I haven't been there in a long long time. Is it Okra season or something?

 

Sushi USA - 11/29

Grilled Shrimp Salad - Grilled shrimp, mixed greens, sesame/soy dressing.



Chicken Karaage Soup - Fried chicken nuggets, bamboo shoots and shitake mushrooms in a spicy chinese style broth.



Sashimi Plate - Chu (medium) Toro, tsubugai (conch), kazunoko (herring roe).



Ume, Tako, Kyu - Octopus, salted plum, cucumber, yuzu juice.

 

i'm not sure if there is a season for okra. take knows that janet and i both like okra so he keeps some around every now and then.

 

nice seeing you at Kenji's, sucks that he was so busy. Where'd you end up that night?

So, we met with Mr Kram at Kabuki and it easily exceeded our expectations.

We had most of the dishes pictured here via Omakase, and they were delicious.

I think Kabuki is going to be a regular place for us.

Thanks for the recommendation and the dinner, mr Kram!
