Dinner at Toraya

今夜は虎屋さんで夕食です。今回もまた5時過ぎに来たので、先客はありませんでしたが、ものの10分もしないうちに満席になってしまいました。

We came to Toraya in Arlington for dinner tonight.  As we came very early (~5:10 pm), no other people were there, but within 10 min of our arrival, all the seats were filled!  This restaurant is always packed!
蛸の酢の物。蛸はすごく柔らかくておいしい!

The vinegared octopus and cucumber.  The octopus was very soft (not chewy) and yummy.
牛タンの塩焼き。あっさりしています。

The pan fried beef tongue.  It was very light, but flavorful.
螺貝と穴子。穴子はふわっとしていて絶品です。


For sushi, we ordered whelk and sea eel.  The sea eel was very soft and tasty.
串かつ。串かつを食べたのは久しぶり。

The deep fried, skewered, breaded pork.  It's been a long time since I had this dish last time...


蓮根のはさみ揚げ。

The deep fried lotus root.
蓮根の間にどっさりと海老が挟まっていてボリュームたっぷりです。

Between the two slices of lotus root was a lot of shrimp!  The portion was huge (this dish came with a bowl of white rice and a cup of miso soup, too).
そして今回もちらし寿司を注文。食べすぎでおなかがはちきれそうになってしまいました。

We again ordered the chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi) - a bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of sashimi and other stuff.  I love this dish!  We ate too much again and I was so stuffed...
