Absolutely delicious! The fish were all seasoned and flavoured and the rice did not have much sugar and vinegar taste probably for the balance. The sushi lunch course was 5000 yen. The ikura and wasabi little rice bowl and 3 different kinds of soup came with the course - the little one in the first pic was clam soup, very good. The pics are a bit blurry cos when I started taking pics the chef said to me, “It is for eating, not for (photo)taking. ” He didn’t seem so threatening even though he was holding a knife, so I ignored him and carried on taking. ^^;;; I did try to take them as quick as possible hence the blurry outcome.

060329 026.jpgモンブラン、レモンのタルト、パリプレスト。Mont Blanc, Tarte de Citron and Paris-Brest Frase. For tea I had the Wedding Imperial, which has a chocolate and caramel flavour(but not sweet). The cakes were so-so. The tea was good but I think it was left too long in the tea-pot and was already very bitter when it was served, and it got more and more bitter as time went….even I like my tea bitter, it was a bit hard to drink.

発泡酒日本酒：
Bijoufu 微発泡純米吟醸、３００円。
Biko 赤色微発泡純米、３００円。
A very trendy standing sake bar which serves not only the tradtional sake but also sparkling sake for 300yen a glass! So cheap! I have been there twice already since I love the place so much! The white one Bijoufu is sweet and the pink one Biko tastes more like champagne than sake! Both very very good!

I went to the original restaurant “AW kitchen” in Nakameguro and the pasta was very good yet very expensive at dinner time, so when I heard the Aoyama branch does lunch, I was eager to try. The quality here turned out to be…nowhere near the standard of Nakameguro. The pasta were all overcooked, and the meat dish was terrible. Lunch with a cold pasta appetizer, a pasta dish, dessert and coffee, is 1800yen. Two of us ordered a main dish to share which was an extra 1200yen. Hmm….
