It took awhile to get a Saturday night reservation at Tanoshi but I finally scored one. Opened within the last year Tanoshi has gotten a lot of buzz for its high quality, no frills, tasting menu. With only 12 seats in the entire restaurant, they have three seatings: 6pm, 7:30pm, and 9pm. Another plus is the tasting menu is about 10 courses and runs $65, it is also BYOB! So let the evening begin....
They have a select mix of appetizers to start and we were adventurous, we ordered the Foie Gras of the Sea: Monkfish Liver. It actually tasted like the chopped liver I remember eating with my grandmother just with a soy kick.
And then the tasting......Everything was extremely light, fresh, unbelievably flavorful and delicious. I could eat this menu over and over again. It blows my mind how such simple food can be some of the best food you have ever ate.
Fluke with yuzu
Salmon
Marinated Tuna
White Albacore
Yellowtail marinated in a Cherry Blossom leaf: smell the leaf, eat the sushi, and bite the leaf
Poached Scallop with eel sauce
Marinated salmon cake with roe
Santa Barbara Sea Urchin and Quail Egg
A special roll
Miso Soup
Spicy Tuna hand roll
Everything was perfectly crafted and well executed. An absolutely excellent meal for a great price.
