Sake Restaurant

As a Birthday Celebration dinner we ventured into Sake Restaurant, somewhere that I've wanted to try for awhile. Walking in on wooden floor boards, the soft lighting and intriguing smells, I knew this was exactly what I wanted for a low-key evening. The menu sparked my curiousity of how these different flavours would mix and mesh together. Deciding the only option was to order multiple starters and dishes instead of the traditional entree, main and dessert sequence. 

First up Sashimi Tacos one tuna, one salmon sashimi filled mini taco with salsa and 2 Sake shots for a kick. Aesthetically cute and not a bad bite but essentially we chose this for the novelty. 

I have an addiction to Sashimi, so a combo of 18 pieces of fresh delicious salmon, kingfish, barramundi, cuttlefish, octopus etc etc was a must have. Amazing! 























Next up I had alternating bites of the Wagyu beef thinly sliced and Popcorn Shrimp. I didn't mind the Wagyu beef but it's not a clear favourite, just nice along the side. The popcorn shrimp was cute and delightful with a creamy sauce to compliment. Still feeling a little space leftover in our tummy's we opted for another menu browse.




Wakame Kingfish was my choice and my friend went for the Tiger Prawn Sashimi (sorry no photo). I believe it was the wakame sushi that finally filled me up. I had mixed feelings upon seeing the tiger prawn sashimi, literally raw. Complete with their severed heads as um.. decoration? garnish? it was weirdly compelling. I convinced myself to try just one, I won't lie I felt so squirmish. 










The waiter came by with the dessert menu, I was keen for anything to replace the strange feeling of raw prawn. Tonight's special was Watermelon made 5 ways, I'm certain she had a better name and description but it's floated away from my mind, from the photo and my vague memory I think it was a watermelon sorbet, watermelon-something inside the peel, marshmallow and watermelon souffle/mousse. My apologies that was terrible, but it was all delicious, delightful and so creative. Refreshing flavour to linger on our taste buds as we called it a night.
