New Kushi-age (Fried Skewer) paired with Creative cuisine restaurant. Ayumu Sato, the Chef/Owner from Comptoir Feu is also involved which is not surprising.
You get 13 skewers, 3 bowls and 1 somen. With the exceptions of the somen, no dish was straight forward. There is always a topping, in addition there is a choice of 6 different sauces which one can use to further change or enhance the flavor.
