Eggs, truffle, leftovers for breakfast
It looks a bit of a mess, but put together leftovers for lunch/brunch. I fried a couple of eggs that have been sitting in the container with the truffles since Wednesday, reheated the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts from the other evening, and covered liberally with the last of the truffles.

#35 one of the better omakase we’ve had. Small venue, 5 tables and the sushi bar (unfortunately we didn’t get seating at the bar).

I’ve been meaning to eat here for awhile and so I made a reservation for after watching Star Wars (my third viewing) at the Kabuki. We had, what I would say, were the best seats (for us) in the restaurant at the chefs counter. It was great to see the cooks and chefs in action.
