By kevin 2 years ago Topped with orange ponzu, radish, scallion, and 24-karat edible gold leaf. The fish had a slightly charred or pan-seared flavor and intense marbling more akin to Kobe beef than fish. The orange ponzu balanced well with the toro's slightly seared flavor. However, some felt the radish overpowered the finish of the scallion. A great way to kick off the evening.

By henrychan 2 years ago hahah.. 24-karat edible gold leaf sound like food for the gods.

By kevin 2 years ago Please, please, I'm just a man. ;)

By LA-OC-Foodie 2 years ago I personally am never sure what to make of the edible metals -- yes they're pretty, but I'm sure their aromatic/taste contributions are minimal (and may even be on the negative side.) I do go ga-ga over the metallic sheen some cuts of meat display though.

Were you doing an omakase @ urasawa? Everything looks and sounds pretty... and expensive!

Your response:

By kevin 2 years ago Indeed, I couldn't discern any notable flavors from the gold. I'm sure it's there just to add to the extravagance and luxuriousness of the dish. Certainly is pretty though!

Yes, this was the omakase at Urasawa, 31 courses of pure brilliance. $250pp but worth every cent. See the full review here: http://blog.myspace.com ... 99639&blogID=193780174
