Date: April and June 2010
It has been awhile since I decide to update the blog. The main reason is I am being lazy. However I didn't stop searching around the cities and found out delicious food.
I went to Fin Izakaya earlier this year and this restaurant didn't disappoint me at all. A lot of people had been talking about Guu Izakaya. However, I just can't find the motivation to go there. Anyway, let's go back to Fin Izakaya. I tried different dishes in Fin and their food are おいし (delicious). I also had the chance to try out Japanese sake which really opens up my eyes. My C.C. and I fell in love with 玉乃光純米大吟釀 right away as it has a very distinct aroma. Alright, it is dull to just look at words so here comes the pictures.
Beef Tataki Salad
A very refreshing starters. The dressing was just right not too sour.
The beef tataki is briefly marinated in vinegar with a hint of ginger.
Ika Sugatayaki
The Ikayaki tasted great but nothing too special about it.
Mentaiko
Mentaiko is salty and I don't taste anything. No wonder Japanese always have mentaiko on rice.
Sukiyaki
The soup base was excellent although I have no idea what it was made of.
The beef was marinated just right, very tender.
This is one of my favorite dishes.
Fin's Special Dinner Bento
We were still hungry after all the dishes we ordered, so we ordered a bento box.
This is a great choice for people who never try Fin before.
It has three different layers including 6 starters, sushi, and sashimi.
First Layers
Seaweed Salad
Nothing special but tasted better than T&T
Takowasa
Fresh raw octopus marinated with wasabi and lemon juice. Love this!
Gobou no Wasabi Ae
Julienne strips of cooked burdock root dressed with wasabi mayonnaise.
A very traditional Japanese started. burdock tasted just like a raw potato without the starch taste
Second Layer
Vegetable & Shrimp Tempura
The coating was just right, not too oily
Duck meat with spicy powder on top
I can't find this on the menu but I am pretty sure it is duck.
Tebasaki koshou
Crispy fried chicken wings. OMG this is a dish to die for.
The chick wings were not oily at all yet juicy. A very good dish with beer.
Third Layer
Sushi and Sashimi
I didn't come to Fin for sushi and sashimi so not much a surprise to me.
However it filled my stomach ^0^
Drinks
We ordered "Sake Flight" - a choice of 3 samples of sake (1oz each).
Tamanohikari 純米大吟釀 玉乃光 備前雄町
This is the best zake. Aromatic and rich.
Takara Plum Wine 梅酒
Good for girls as it has a very sweet taste.
Hakkaisan 八海山
This one has a hint of spicy taste after I swallow it into my thoat
Lychee and Tropical Calpis Jucie Vodka Cocktail
I didn't taste any alcohol in my drink.
