Jozu Kin is a Japanese restaurant specializing in fusion cuisine, incorporating various international flavors and styles to the usual selection of Japanese dishes. The result is a vast array of unique menu items that look and taste good.
It was a very relaxed evening, we had already worked up quite an appetite from a session of Barre3 prior. We started dinner off with an order of Maki Moriawase (P357, pictured above), which is a mix of California Maki, Ushi Ebi Tempura Crunchy, Dynamite Roll, Philadelphia Roll, and Futo Maki. I particularly enjoyed the Philadelphia roll since it had cream cheese and Bonito flakes coating the rice. If this is fusion sushi, I'd like to have more of it!
Next up was the Ebiko Jalapeno Udon (P295, pictured above). It was a simple yet unique dish -- served cold, spicy and at the same time sweet topped with strips of nori (seaweed) and shrimp roe.
We also ordered Crisp Koumaru Gyoza (P189, pictured above), which was marked as one of Jozu Kin's specialties. Instead of the usual elongated and thinly wrapped gyozas, these were very plump and round. The covering was quite thick and the filling was very juicy and meaty. The light honey sauce served on the side went well with it.
Another Jozu Kin specialty is the Ushi Ebi Sunburst Salad (P350, pictured above). Seasoned prawns, strawberries, blueberries, sliced apples, orange slivered almonds, and Hachimitsu Balsamic Vinaigrette make up this refreshingly delicious salad. Yum! They should have served it first though rather than side-by-side with the main dish. :p
Gyuniku Nikomi (P350, pictured above) is braised beef stew seasoned with togarashi, or seven spice. Tender and tasty, it would go very well with steamed Japanese rice. None of us had rice that night so I can only imagine. :p
