Ken

This week we weren’t able to eat on Thursday since Andrea had a filing deadline and was working crazy hours, so i booked this for Sunday. I saw an article a few days ago in The Infatuation and saw that we had eaten at most of the restaurants on the list, so of course I had to try to get into some others and we haven’t had omakase in awhile, so was perfect. Part of reason it’s difficult to get a reservation here is that there are only 7 seats, which made for a more intimate and interactive meal with Chef Ken (originally from Hong Kong. Previously worked at Kusakabe before opening up his own restaurant)

I won’t go into every course, but the main thing was that he put an interesting twist on each his dishes whether it was the aging of the fish or the seasoning, or other preparation (e.g kubocha soup instead of traditional miso, etc.). We tried a bunch of different sakes and our favorite was the Tsuyusanzen.

      Yes, I think that was mackeral. Menu doesn’t list out the fish specifically. I jokingly took a picture of the bathroom at SingleThread when we first dined there and we all thought it was funny, so it’s kind of a running joke. That being said, it does also tell you just a little bit how much they pay attention to the entire experience at a restaurant if they do have a nice bathroom. last thing you want is to be dressed up eating at a nice 3-star restaurant and find that they have a bathroom no better than an airport bathroom
