Torae Torae

               After visiting the City Satellite at the Mall, we stopped at Shirokiya to have some koori, Japanese shaved ice.

Strange looking azuki bean ice.  

Decided to try Izakaya Torae Torae on McCully St. between Beretania and Young streets.
A newly opened place, Mel highly recommended it.

Small but nice interior, it was not too crowded because it had just opened at 6 pm.

Sushi bar, manned by Chef Hide Yoshimoto,  formerly of Doraku.
I asked the friendly server what Torae meant and she thought it was "catch"

The Hamachi Carpaccio was so good it disappeared before I had a chance to take a decent photo.
Also had vegetable tempura, nigiri (serving is one, instead of two pieces), pork kakuni.

Gochisosama.
