Here’s the reveal of tonight’s Kaiseki Jubako, two tiered box presentation: 
Included was a menu as well as a guide to the items inside the boxes.

Lower tier detail
And the three desserts:
Included on the side was also the miso soup:
Braised abalone with liver and truffle sauce. This was a revelation - I usually have abalone in Cantonese cooking and never really liked it, so I wasn’t expecting much. But the perfectly braised abalone with that liver sauce was tender umami heaven. Truffle was quite subtle. Yes, I licked that shell to get ALL the sauce. Hey - that’s a perk of takeout, you can do things you would never do at a restaurant 
Duck and firefly squid were good as well, but abalone definitely the highlight of this section.
American wagyu tataki was delicious, the daikon ponzu was a nice accompaniment to it texturally
Sashimi highlight was the toro
A bit disappointed in the tamago, but sushi nicely done:
Great way to start the lower tier with the vegetables takiawase. Snap peas were perfection, and eggplant was lightly marinated, I think. Wished the eggplant sesame sauce had a bit more punch:
Grilled kinki (fantastic flavor!) hidden under the garnish. Anyone know what it is? It had a bit of a sourness to it, I don’t recall having this herb (?) before. 
Finished with the lobster nanbanzuke (extremely tasty but it would have been really amazing if it was eaten fresh at the restaurant) and the lobster chawanmushi (loved the flavor and texture, but I should have warmed it up. We actually ate outside, so just ate everything as is)
Dessert!!! Matcha white chocolate cake - denser than I expected, but nice crumb and not too sweet. 
Excellent rendition of strawberry Daifuku, red bean was soooooo smooth. Fun fact … Costco in Taipei sells strawberry daifuku as a seasonal item in a pack of 12 for - get this - US$10!
No closeup of the passion fruit chocolate because it disappeared in my mouth before I had a chance to take a snapshot, but the passionfruit ganache was excellent, however, the outer shell was a bit too sweet for my liking.
All in all, an EXCELLENT meal. Ah, waitlist dreams do come true! Must be that FTC karma
