Blind faith in the right chef can reap magnificent results.
This was proven today when I decided to leave it to Owner-Chef Tomoo to plan the menu for TH’s birthday lunch. Having seen his mouthwatering delights of the autumn season from @blueskiescottonclouds’ recent visit, I was confident he would come up with something impressive. Well, that he did and then some!
One of the dishes he served us was this very special seasonal hairy crab rice. A major jaw-drop moment happened when it was first brought out. Serious gawking (from me) followed when he proceeded to heap on indecently fresh uni and ikura. By the time I dug the spoon in for my first bite, I was a quivering mess of anticipation. Thankfully, the level of deliciousness in this dish lived up to my expectations. The rice was intoxicatingly fragrant and saturated with the richness of the crab roe and flesh. Even after I vacuumed up every edible bit from the crab shell, I was left wanting more.
