Finally it is my term to treat my C.C. with good quality of food. This time we visited Aoyama Sushi Restaurant on my C.C.'s b-day. We heard that they have the Omakase menu which comes in two different prices and we ordered the $60 one. Unlike Sushi Kaji, there were no menu for Omakase, so I have no ideas of what we will be served. Beside the waitress did not speak English very well, so I had no ideas of what I was having. Aoyama Omakase is great but it is nothing you can compare with Sushi Kaji. However it is much cheaper so I shouldn't be too critical. Their sashimi were fresh and the salad were tasty. Black sesame ice-cream was a big hit for the night. I love it so much that I tired to find Asian Supermarket, however I have no sucess so far. 

Seaweed salad with real crab meats

The dark green seaweed is called Wakame, and the red one is Hijiki

Some kind of sashimi with tiny tiny bit of mentaiko明太子

The sauce tasted like some kind of vinaigrette

Sashimi

First time to try gold fake and they have no taste at all

Lobster Tail

Tempura

It comes with diced white radish, which makes the tempura more tastey
