Liking Rinka

        To  celebrate P's birthday, we went to Rinka, and had a very satisfying and delicious, very Japanese style dinner.  

          

We entered from the
Roger Dunn parking lot.

Pretty entry 

The separate Japanese style
room has a wall display of
kitchen knives.

May and I had the Rin Course, which was beautifully presented
with seasonal dishes

Our appetizer: beef tataki, spinach
and edamame.

R opted for the Hana Course($45)

Our sashimi course had added
scallops.  

P, who didn't order a Course dinner, had abalone croquette and buri shabu shabu (hot pot)

Rin course spinach soup was
delicious, with fish balls
and gold flakes floating
 on the surface.

R's Hana course 's eggplant and pepper dish.

Rin course: persimmon
filled with tofu

Hana course: salad

Hana course: oden

Rin course: tempura eel
and vegetables

Hana course: sashimi on nori and rice

Rin course: shabushabu (hot pot)
King crab and udon

Hana course: beef shabushabu

Quite a meal!
But of course, there is always room for
dessert.

Both courses came with Yuzu sherbet.
So refreshing.

P tried the French Toast with ice cream, which we all shared.

  And I didn't go to the gym today!
