ADELAIDE: Ginza Miyako

Both Fatty and I really love Japanese food. Given that both Fatty and I are not working today and how I enjoyed myself previously at this restaurant, I decided to take Fatty here to celebrate our 6 years and 5 months!

We decided on the traditional kaiseki course. 

Kaiseki is essentially a traditional multi course dinner and the terms refers to the collection of skills and techniques which allows the preparation of this meal. 

First up,

Left to right: oysters, duck, sashimi, ?kangaroo

Next up, 

Tempura ! Loved the red pepper tempura 

Third course, 

Main course

SUKIYAKI!!!

Was having a conversation with fatty about how I think I prefer sukiyaki to Shabu Shabu.
Minor disappointment here because 1) They didn't give me raw egg to dip my wagyu, instead it was a 63deg egg buried underneath my beef
2) MY EGG BURST.

And one thing which really bothers me when I eat egg is when my egg yolk burst. In fact, if my egg yolk burst while I'm cooking, I discard the whole egg. This is how much I dislike having an imperfect egg.

Barely touched by rice because I was so full by the end of this course 

Dessert 

Matcha Tiramisu with sesame ice cream. Meh, I make better tiramisu lol. 

Well, I definitely can't compare kaiseki here to the ones in Japan. That would be like comparing a pariah dog to a pure breed champ :/ But it was still an enjoyable meal, and I thought it was pretty worth the money since I 

1)  utilise the discount from the Adelaide Entertainment Booklet.  25% off total bill up to max of $40

2) Booked with Dimmi.com.au and got 2 complimentary Sake shots

Bill was $138 up from $178 (original price per pax for keiseki $79, Cocktail $13, Tea $7)
