Kyoto Lab: Round Two. Earlier entry: June 18, 2012.
Tuna sashimi "nouveau," all dressed up for a salty kick.
Crudo tartare, featuring salmon and avocado, the perfect partnership.
Tuna and mango roll. An acquired taste, but nicely prepared, with a generous stuffing of ripely juicy fruit and pink-seared fish.
Cheesy rice "dango" _ a cross between croquettes and dumplings. Carb-lovers will adore these mushy marvels.
Sesame-grilled scallops. Almost succulent. And almost does count, sometimes.
Beef-wrapped asparagus. Predictably tasty, though not terrifically so.
Beef bacon and cheese, for a savory protein punch.
Hiyashi chuka ramen, served chilled. A wholesome but nevertheless welcome alternative to all the soupy, porky ramen elsewhere in town.
Desserts display a deranged deliciousness: sake-poached pear with green tea ice cream.
Japanese tofu custard, thickly surrounded with butterscotch sauce.
