Yummy yummy

Had a chance to try out Kazu... Izakaya in Montreal... frigging stuffed my face even when I was full from a day of munching (a large pho, 1 and a half crepe filled with chocolate and icecream, 1 mango salad, 1 grapefruit salad, countless vietnamese shrimp chips -addictive as hell- some curry, etc.). Really pleasantly surprised... haven't had decent jap food in Montreal... and this is just in a league of its own now...

Decor - my dad built the wall! And chef Kazu made the lantern...


A huge lantern above the bar... made by the chef too... quite interesting


Stupid cousin... haha


Apps, some homemade pickles, refreshing, crunchy, full of flavour. Had some beer too, was good idea to have that (you'll know why later)...the chayote in the middle is marinated in miso, just the best tasting chayote I've known.


Some tuna for apps... fresh and yummy. Cut is the flank. Drool.


Some well cut sashimi with seasoned flavours to be different from the usually Montreal crappy sashimi-with-muscles. The secret flavour is in the cucumber.


Something good is coming up...


The noodles are made from scratch. Reeaaaaally tasty stuff. A layer of olive oil on top to keep the soup boiling hot... and the beer comes in handy now.... BBQ chicken made in a tajine... tender and full of flavah!



Mmmmm... will come back to try teriyaki burger and 48-hour pork....



Oh yeah forgot to take pictures of the soft milky ice cream at the end, was too eager to eat it....but here's a pic of the Li family gobbling up pre-opening style.
