Japanese Food – Tasty and Artistic

On Friday evening we went to Sen of Japan, a little, almost "hole-in-the-wall" place in the neighborhood shopping center nearby and had the most wonderful meal we've experienced in quite a long time – both the presentation and the food itself were exquisite.

Japanese are noted for great attention to the presentation of food, both as to arrangement and to color, to say nothing of the cooking (or not) of the food itself, and our experience truly showed that.





This first dish is a sashimi spinach salad and you can see the little bits of raw fish here and there – that's shredded radish on top.






Next is a seafood cucumber salad with octopus, crab and shrimp on a bed of cucumbers.







Then comes a squid salad,












followed by some tempura – very lightly breaded onion and sweet potato – accompanied by skewers of shrimp, chicken and beef.
