Ninja Restaurant,, Asakasa

Janet invited Nathan and I to dinner while Stephen was away. She took us to a Ninja themed restaurant in Akasaka for Nathan. He got a little scared going in, but it really was a training session not the real thing. The food was pretty spectacularly presented. Lots of camouflage and disguise.


Prawn salad.

See the gold leaf on top?

Tofu salad.

This is a fish dish. It was served looking like this. We wondered which vegetable dish we ordered?

But no, the waiter then lifted the grill with his bare fingers, and said the coal was the fish? Each piece was wrapped in nori and fried. Then it was laid on a battery operated red light which gave the amber glow we thought was heat and each piece was black like charcoal. The vegetable accompaniment was served on top, grilled.
