In order to save money this year, we didn't go anywhere for valentine's day nor our anniversary. But last night was a special night and we picked this sushi place for the occasion.
This is also our first time trying omakase. I am a little bit of a control freak, and this time I let it go and let the chef decide our dinner. Definitely did not regret this! The omakase includes some appetizers with 16 nigiri selected by the chef, and ends with 2 small desserts. Every dish was amazing. The appetizers here were quite unique, including home-made tofu with home-made soy sauce(very tasty) and Mt. Fuji wasabi, red miso soup (never had that before), home-made pickles, Hotaru Ika (firefly squid, which are very tiny squid), baby peach, etc. On top of that, the nigiri was very fresh and of great variety, tasted absolutely incredible, which did not come as a surprise.
We also ordered a glass of umeshu and a glass of sake. Umeshu was not as sweet as other umeshu I had, very refreshing and clear. The sake we ordered has a very slight fruity flavor, and therefore very easy to drink (too easy that he drank too fast and got a little drunk at the beginning of the dinner). They have a wide variety of sake, and you can ask the server to recommend the one that fits your taste.
At the end of the dinner, although I saw it coming, it was still really sweet to see him get down on one knee, and popped the question. This is definitely a meal we will never forget.
After the proposal, I was asking him why doesn't he do it on top of the mountain when we hike or something like that, because I feel like that would have been more of a surprise and an unique experience. He said that he always imagines it to be in a fancy restaurant........ well, what can I say, I guess I am marrying a traditional guy (or boring~~).
