LP2

2 hours all you can drink and you get to have 8 different courses for 5000 yen per person? Sign me up. We made sure to drink as much Yamazaki whiskey properly mixed with soda water as possible. I also got to drink their umeshu (which was the Choya brand *thumbs up*) and drink their peach sake which the waiter added more fresh peach syrup for me. :-)
What drew me here was the promise of horse meat, which they are known for. I also got to eat the fighting rooster raw sushi and sashimi. Their horse meat is sweet and tender. The raw chicken sashimi wasn’t gamey and had a slight sweetness and was chewier than the horse meat. We also got a beef chirashi with mirin, soy sauce, sake and ginger and 4 hr cooked. Salad with yuzu and cucumber and some other mixed greens. It was light and refreshing. Tuna lower jaw which was beautifully bbq’d and marinated. Tempura white fish was also on the menu, which tasted like airy crispy chips (why can’t I find it in America??) and ended up with an udon soup with a chicken egg broth made of the bones and meat of the fighting rooster. Very creamy and I left with a stomach filled with homemade soup.
For dessert, we got a choice between Cassis sorbet and hokkaido vanilla ice cream. Both were great choices. Loved the creaminess of the vanilla ice cream.
Décor was very homey with the huge slab of cut tree stump. They also were playing latin music throughout the restaurant.
Next time I come back, I need another helping of everything and more booze!
