Japan- going to a hibachi grill
Hello guys! Sorry for the long reply I was in Florida for a week! So guys today I visited a Japanese hibachi grill called east Tokyo. The cool thing about Japanese cooking is that they use a giant grill called a hibatchi that reach temperatures to the extreme. Try start off buy giving you a salad with great dressing a a clear water soup. Clear water soup is ment to be a welcoming dish to start off to the feast your about to have. It's also what it sounds like its clear water mixed with at least 3 seasoning such as dried mushrooms, chives, and lemon. The grill starts off with a talented chef starting a controlled fire to wow the audience. He than show off his skills of throwing and catching his spatulas and knife. You will get to watch all your meals be made and about half way through he will do a trick where you will have to try to catch a piece of cucumber he throws at you with his spatula.Today was the first time In my life I caught it perfectly on the first time. The chef also did another trick where he aims at your mouth with a sake bottle (sake is a rice based Japanese wine) and i got such a mouth full of it I coulda been pulled over for driving drunk. I did also get to try edamame whitch is a preparation of soy bean pods with just a bit of salt on them. My main meal was chicken and lobster with some shrimp and pepper on a sekwer stick. Everything was well seasoned with sake and soy sauce. Dessert ended on a sweet note but as you in Japan they don't have desserts they usally end the meal with fruit. My dessert was mochi filled with red bean ice cream. Mochi is like a soy dough and you roll it out an wrap cold ice cream in it. Red bean ice cream really has a flavor of its own but it's like the perfect amount of a natural sweetness. Through out the meal I had green tea since I wanted to get the most of eating the Japanese way and my mom used a fork -_- ( hello use chop sticks). So go on out to your nearest local hibatchi grill and experience the beautiful art of Japan's savory cusine.
