Tonight we wanted to eat some sushi. We thought about Sushi Island and Toraya, but since we haven't been to Toraya for such a long time, we decided to go there. Toraya is a tiny Japanese restaurant in Arlington, with only ~20 seats. We came early (~5:30 pm) to secure our table. We were the first one there tonight, but within 10 min of our arrival, all the seats were occupied.
 キリンの一番搾り大瓶。A large bottle of Kirin beer. |
 ししゃもの唐揚げ。日本のものより小ぶりですがおいしい。Fried shishamo (willow leaf fish in English). They were a bit smaller than ones I generally find in Japan, but good! |
 蛸の唐揚げ。これも身がこりこりしておいしい。Fried octopus. This was also good - not rubbery texture. |
 シーフードサラダ。海老、はまち、サーモン、蟹かま、いくら等がのっています。Seafood salad. It had shrimp, salmon and salmon roe, yellowtail, imitation carb, etc. |
 湯豆腐。木綿豆腐だったのがちょっと残念。私は絹ごしのほうが好みなんだけど。Tofu hotpot. The firm tofu was used in this dish, but I prefer the silken tofu... |
 お寿司は今日のスペシャルメニューの中から鰆、平目、螺貝を注文。鰆は表面を少し炙ってあって香ばしい香り。For sushi, we ordered 3 kinds from today's special menu - Spanish mackerel, fluke, and whelk. |
 そしてちらし寿司。関東風ですね。子供の頃よく食べた京都風のとはかなり違いますが、たくさんの種類のねたが美しく盛り付けされていました。どれも全部おいしくて2人ともおなかいっぱいになりました。満足、満足。And chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi) - a bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of sashimi and other stuff. It was decorated so beautifully. We were very satisfied with their food! |
