Friday Night Sushi - Akane

Whenever the hub and I do sushi, it's usually a spur-of-the-moment deal. Last Friday was no exception. After shopping at REI for running gear we sped to Los Altos only to wait over an hour to get a seat at the bar. Fifteen minutes before closing time we were lucky enough to land two seats in front of master chef, Shin. He took real good care of us, as you can tell in the following pictures.

We shared our sake with all the chefs and

Chef Shin shared with us his current favorite sake, on the house.

Amaebi

 Maguro

 

Aji

 Hamachi

 Tombo

Tai

Special Compliments of the Chef!
Grilled Tai (I think?)

Uni

I don't even like Uni all that much (I know, blasphemy, right?), and this was incredible.

My favorite dish of the night.

Another on-the-house dish was Mirugai (Geoduck), which we were unfortunately too hammered tipsy to capture on photo. 

This was by far the best time we've had at Akane. I'm absolutely certain we'll come back again on a Friday night when the fish is freshest.
