Sake to me

Atlanta was a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be back in NYC. Went to a "springtime sake pairing" Monday night at Kyotofu with the GastroSnobs crowd. This restaurant is actually a Japanese dessert bar, and sometimes on Monday nights they hold special events (like sake tastings). The space has nice energy; we were seated at the front bar with a view of the kitchen as well as 9th Avenue. My inner art director appreciated the detailed orchestration of the event -- the cocktails, the flowers, the menus etc. were all very well-coordinated. The menu was 5 food courses, each paired with a sake. One of the courses featured some tofu chicken balls that were pretty tasty, but I think my favorite dish was a strawberry anmitsu. Parting gift was a chocolate souffle cupcake, recently named the Best in New York! We all had a good time & look forward to their next event.

Ahh, the anmitsu.
