On my birthday, Maureen organized a sushi tasting menu dinner for a small group of our friends. The chef and friend, Randy-san, was designated the #1 Sushi Master in DC last year after winning a renowned competition of the area’s best. He placed 2nd in L.A. in the national competition. Randy-san and his mentor, Chef Tao-san brought along all of the ingredients, fish, plates and utensils. We only provided the venue (our home) and the wine. The dinner was 3 hours long.
The assorted fish & shellfish were flown in from Japan the evening before dinner. I’ve never seen such freshness-fresh lobster, scallops, jumbo prawn, aji, uni, otoro, tuna…
The education of the dinner was the best part. Being informed of every ingredient, from the Okinawan salt to the various prefectures of fish origin was mind blowing.
21 small dish flights of the most amazing fish I’ve ever had.

This simple blog is a memory capsule and inspiration board of items, thoughts, and photographs that inspire me. These include: Americana menswear (the stories behind the designers & their vision), food, lifestyle, photography, and nautical imagery.
I've disabled comments. Sorry. I began noticing that my entries became more tailored as a response to others, and not represent my actual thoughts or inspirations.
