@happycat next time just tell Yoshi San you’re still very hungry and he will feed you something. Yoshi San is very very kind and he will be sad if he know any of his guest leaving hungry.
@JeetKuneBao I only eat 1 or 2 pieces max since there are other guests dying for more too. I did eat 12 pieces of futomaki at Morihiro after his Omakase tho Mori San used to make me a Togo box
for my 3-4 hrs drive to visit him in the past. He always makes sure I’m staying awake driving back safely, because he is, too, a very kind chef.
@onelabneh @hungryhungryhippos I totally agree that there is a few times rice temperature got much warmer than usual temp elsewhere in the recent past, but as @beam mentioned, it wasn’t a unintentional. Yoshi San has been testing and adjusting to find his perfect voice
Long story short, there were some complaints around the end of 2021 about Yoshi San’s rice temp was too low or even on the colder side and the rice flavor wasn’t remarkable enough. Since Jan 7, 2020, aside from changing the the type of grains, Yoshi San has been testing and tweaking his seasoning, temperature and texture exhaustically.
He wanted to make his Shari the happiest Shari for himself and for his guest, too. That what he told me while keep on making it better every time I come back.
If you visited often since January, you will notice these nuances. I love incredible masters who won’t stop developing and getting better like that. So nice and so lucky for us.
His Shari at the moment is the most remarkable Shari he has done so far, and so perfect with his wonderful neta.
I asked Yoshi San a few weeks ago to just feed me his rice with warm dashi at the end of the meal, and I would be so so happy already.
If you notice the Shari and warm dashi broth with a seasonal neta recently, that is my favorite comfort side during his Omakase, and a very hard to find side in the US.
@robert Yoshi San is very kind, he always listens to feedback and wants to get even better everyday.
Sorry, I couldn’t reply for the last 12hrs so I keep on adding replies into my long essay
