One Michelin-starred Sushi Restaurant in SF

[Anonymous No.18062231]

A couple months ago I was on a trip to SF and decided to visit Wako for their prix fixe menu (which ended up with several extras being ordered)

Some kind of Sake. I was told it was 'Tenth-degree'

'House made sesame tofu with sea urchin, fresh wasabi and dashi sauce'

I did not eat the urchin

[Anonymous No.18062246]

From Left to Right:

Some kind of Fried scallop thing, something that might have been Abalone, more Tofu in dashi, and what I believe to be a small serving of Steamed egg custard with pike eel, shiitake, shrimp, misuba, sea urchin & smoked trout roe

I particularly enjoyed the tomato with the bit of mild cheese

[Anonymous No.18062253]

Scallop & Snapper, I think. I really should have wrote this down

You're pathetic, I don't care if it would make your throat swell and close from allergies.

[Anonymous No.18062268]

This I believe was a miso marinaded black cod

[Anonymous No.18062273]

>>18062262
This one I believe was something like Blue fin Tuna with mountain yam, caviar, Hokkaido Bafun sea urchin & salmon roe on top

I did eat the urchin this time. I liked it so much I got 2 more bowls

[Anonymous No.18062281]

I don't remember what this is. Maybe someone can chime in

[Anonymous No.18062289]

>>18062281
I believe that is the California roll

The old standby, but far, far better than anything I can get in Leafland

Deep fried blue fin tuna with house made tartar sauce. This was extremely tasty, we ordered another

[Anonymous No.18062304]

These all look absolutely disgusting and your disgisting op for paying for this garbage and eating it.

[Anonymous No.18062305]

Deep fried fresh fish collar with dashi sauce. This one wasn't so great and a bit tough to eat after you're several drinks into the evening

[Anonymous No.18062310]

I /think/ this was Salmon roe maki

On the one hand, I feel like michelin-stars are a total gimmick. On the other hand, the best food I'd ever had was from a 1 star michelin place.

[Anonymous No.18062321]

'A5 Grade Japanese Beef'

It was tasty, we got another order, but nothing mindblowing like people say. I've had better 'Wagyu' from a tiny grill place in Kyoto for like $5

[Anonymous No.18062330]

Le pudding, as the redditors say

[Anonymous No.18062338]

How much was it, was it worth it?

The prixe fixe menu was $95 per pre-tax, and the Sake was maybe $90. The rest was on addons. desu $280/person wasn't that bad, considering the quality of the food and service at the place and the fact that it was actually a backup choice. The waitress was very nice, but I do wish she spoke better English - 8/10 would go again if someone else pays

>>18062311
A lot of them are, but this one seems pretty deserving. I try to judge restaurants outside of how many stars they have or which chef's name is associated with it; the best food I've had has been at extremely well-run places that don't go for official nods

And you just outed your own bullshit.
You aren’t going to find anything like that in Japan for $5.

That's not bad for how many courses you got

[Anonymous No.18062407]

>>18062330
nice

[Anonymous No.18062409]

>>18062381
Okay, maybe it was $10 then. Some inconsequential amount. It was at that covered market in Kyoto, Nishiki or something. I also got balls there

[Anonymous No.18062424]

>>18062281
I think its some fish's eggs, but don't quote me on that, and no it's not an american thing japs do it too

[Anonymous No.18062451]

That looked good OP but I don't get how real japs eat kaigun curry and ramen IRL. Are these places a scam to fool gaijins?

[Anonymous No.18062466]

>>18062451
Probably. My hosts in Japan took me out for fancy bbq instead of fancy sushi

[Anonymous No.18062498]

>>18062402
it's extremely overpriced for a few grams of raw fis h and some shitty carbs

is that a marijuana leaf?
call 911

[Anonymous No.18062911]

You are retarded op. This >>18062233 is NOT sea urchin its just roe of some kind. This >>18062281 IS sea urchin.

Let me guess, you’re one of those fags who objectively define “value” in terms of “calories per dollar”?

[Anonymous No.18062918]

>>18062304
I get that the kids think it's hip to shit on fine dining these days, but pretending the food looks disgusting just makes you sound retarded.

[Anonymous No.18062920]

>>18062451
Did you really just ask if ramen is a gaijin scam?

[Anonymous No.18062922]

>>18062911
Yeah, I feel like OP mixed up a few of the dishes.

[Anonymous No.18063092]

Some literal Foodcourt store for a one star in Singapore so I assume it's about as good as that.

[Anonymous No.18063106]

>>18062246
doesn't even look good

[Anonymous No.18063214]

>>18062911
Sorry, I forgot. Now I know what is roe of some kind, and what is sea urchin, until I forget again

>>18063106
Tasted pretty good

I did have this excellent burger the next day. It was super duper

>>18063092
That place lost its star a few years back, I heard. I've been there (pre-star hype), this was better than that

No if expensive sushi places like OP restaurant I asked

[Anonymous No.18064503]

>>18064231
They didn’t check, no place did.

I went crawling through USS Hornet with a bunch of old dudes, including a private tour of cramped command spaces, then spent the rest of the week in work meetings, and I didn’t catch anything. My boss got a bad case of Rona, though. He was out for two weeks

>>18064288
At some point it’s diminishing returns, but I didn’t feel like it was a giant waste of money or anything
