Booked a restaurant via Pocket Concierge to use the AMEX dining credit
Sushi Nao.
It was a very small place, the chef runs an one-man show.
Six seats total. That night there were me and a group of 3 guys - typical Japanese work party I think.
The chef worked in Singapore for 5 years so he spoke quite good English!
We started with firefly squid.
The abalone was to die for!!!
Did I mentioned in Kanazawa everything is golden? Yes, including the plates for sushi here.
Sigh, this gold plate was photographer-unfriendly to the maximum degree
Plus my phone was not great handling low light. As a result I'm not happy with the pictures...so I'll only post a few (nothing to do with taste, purely based on pic quality ha ha). That is to say, I ate a lot more
Nodoguro, you cannot have sushi in this region without it!
Akagai, red clam.
Gizzard shad, I think...
Chirashi
We mixed Japanese and English and chatted a lot. He was very curious about Australia
The other guests, unfortunately did not speak English. So I only managed a few words with them.
They left before me, as they were leaving, one of them turned to me and said "Good Morning!" ROFL
