Last night Jonathan and I, along with 10 other couples, went to a Japanese hibachi restaurant, where a chef cooks each meal on a large hot grill in front of you. It’s been years since I’ve had hibachi so I forgot how entertaining it is to watch a chef do tricks with sharp knives and fire as he cooked and at the same time make jokes. The restaurant, Kenji Hibachi and Sushi Bar, was decorated with Japanese sculptures and murals, which gave a nice ambiance.
For my meal, I decided to use chopsticks to enhance my Japanese eating experience, even though I was a little out of practice. As custom, our dinner started off with miso soup, followed by ginger salad. The chef then prepared a shrimp appetizer and our various dishes of chicken, steak and/or shrimp with vegetables and fried rice. The food was good, and the best part was that it came hot off the grill.
If you have never been to a hibachi restaurant or if like me it’s been a while, I encourage you to try it out. Trust me; it’s a lot of fun.
