Japanese/Korean Cuisine
Julian, Annie and I had supper at the Shikiji Japanese Restaurant in Calgary. This restaurant offers specialty sushi dishes that are both presentable and delicious. Besides, their Japanese green tea, genmaicha (brown-rice tea) is the best I’ve ever had thus far!
The Spider Roll ($13.80). Crispy crab legs are used to make into the form of a spider.
The Una Una Roll (Eel Roll) for $16.90. Yumm…
The Salmon Mango Roll ($11.80), topped with colourful tobiko (flying fish caviar). Very appetizing!
Very neat presentation of sushi at the Dazzling Restaurant in downtown Toronto.
Back to Shikiji Restaurant. Besides sushi, we also ordered a bowl of Japanese noodles.
The Chili Goma Ramen (hot & spicy Japanese noodles with sesame) for $13.50. Grind the sesame seeds yourself!
Sashimi, maki (roll), and temaki (cone/hand roll).
Our second order.
From left: Rainbow Roll, California Roll, and BC Roll (grilled salmon skin with sweet sauce and cucumber, named after British Columbia for its famous wild Pacific salmon).
Tempura, a classic Japanese dish of deepfried battered vegetables or seafood.
Raw meat for BBQ: chicken, beef, spicy pork, lamb chop, salmon, short ribs etc.
Meat slices on the BBQ stove, right in front of us on the dining table. Overall, the amount of food was plenty. We certainly had a lot since we skipped our lunch due to busy schedule. I was in Banff all day skiing with Julian, while Annie was working all day without her lunch box.
Having said that, I wished the sashimi was fresher and the order was unlimited. It turned out to be slightly under $30 per person on the final bill. Good food, great time!
