sushi monster 6.0

I’m back at Kuramoto for lunch.  This time with my mom.  She’s always wondering where I’m going and what I’m eating.  I thought I would take her out to a nice meal.  She’s very artsy fartsy…she’s all about being fancy and presentation so I figured that this omakase would be right up her alley.

Sashimi salad and Chawanmushi.  The Chawanmushi this time was even better than the last time I had it.

Striped jack with pickled wasabi and puffed rice.  Amberjack.

Ocean Trout and Sea Bream.

Santa Barbara Uni and Ikura bowl.  Santa Barbara Uni.

Toro with pickled radish and puffed rice.  Black Cod.

Tamago and Dashi broth.

Taro ice cream dessert.

Safe to say that my mom loved it. She said that the fish was so fresh it was like biting through butter.  Nice and smooth.

I dropped her off at home and I went to the Persian grocery store to buy ingredients to meal prep for the week.

I am good at being around people for short bursts now. Anything longer drains my social battery. Even my own mother, but she’s known to cluck about all sorts of things that I find to be annoying and she likes to bring up my misgivings from 10+ years ago. Fun times.

    I think all parents love reminding us of our bratty moments from the past 😂.
    By the way, the food and presentation look absolutely incredible.

    Rojie, I was reading this latest post with interest… the food and snippets about it… but I really did laugh aloud reading about how your own mom drains your social battery. IKR? My mom is gone now, but I remember how she usta critique me and second-guess me on EVERYTHING…I made up my mind if/when I became a dad, I’d try to incorporate the things my folks did RIGHT and jettison those that drove me up the wall…

    You have such an honest, unflinching style to your blogs… you’re a very good writer and I really enjoy reading your stuff 😎❤️

    🤗🫡😁Delicious meals with a friend and gossiping with your mother. This is good. I agree with you. Let life’s rhythm be fast. O luck to those who visit. Lighten up. Egyptian proverb.

    If she didn’t appreciate those then you got to check her taste buds, thankfully she enjoyed them 😆.
    You got good company 😅

      Oh yeah she def liked it and then was bugging me about how I need to save more money and stop eating 😂

        That is similar to Indian moms. Yesterday we just watched a reel about something similar. Indian mothers would not eat out because they can make it better at home. The reel came after the same discussion 🤣. I’m not Indian or Asian, I’m an alien mom.

          I think they all got the same Asian mom handbook 😆 to torture their children

          1. ibarynt Avatar

            Must be, but I got a handbook that does not involve cooking but terrorizing the kids 🤣
