Of course, as a fan of hotate, the Hotate with Ikura Don ($28.80) was my favourite at the table. Plump, firm and almost creamy in taste, the scallops came in a matchup of sashimi and torched. The torch-seared mollusks adding a touch of smokiness and umaminess whereas with the sashimi-style you get to savour the natural flavour. So the best of both worlds in my opinion. Not forgetting the small heap of minced tuna, briny-sweet bursts of fish roe, tobiko and tamagoyaki adding to the whole experience.
