A trip to Japan means a repeat visit to Kiharu! You can read my previous post here. I didn’t take a lot of notes this trip around but you will see there are some similar dishes from the last visit. Great experience as always. Chan bought some Hawaii omiyage for the taisho and he was so tickled and happy! That’s always fun.

Green Pea Soup, Tofu wrapped in Fried Mochi Bits with Yuzu Miso

Had this dish last time, was just as good as before. Fresh peas with fried mochi bits? WHY NOT. Great starter to the meal.

Shirako (V’s Favorite Dish)

LOL sorry, I had to put that in there. This restaurant is an omakase so you don’t choose what you eat, I didn’t order it I swear! Was good though. LOL

I forget what kind of fish this was but wow, this dish was so good. He braided the fish meat together to create such a pretty look! The fish is a bit salty but I think the squeeze of the citrus provides a wonderful contrast. One of my favorites of the night!

I’m starting to wonder if he just created our meals from one single fish lol. I have no problems with an all fish night.

Yes, his tempura! I think that’s a sakura leaf fried up with sweet potato slices. Super good. I am pretty sure he is all by himself in this restaurant so he is busy cooking and serving us. Very small space, just the counter for service.

Quick video reveal of the steamed rice with mushrooms. I need help on why my videos become so white washed when I edit it and upload it? UGH! This is why it’s so much easier to post on social media. Actually this video is one of the better uploads upon review.

Another great experience at Kiharu again but this is thanks all to Chan’s friend who makes the reservation and dines with us there. There is no way we could do this on our own not knowing Japanese. Can’t wait to return again during our next trip!
