After this, I can stop counting the omakase nights. Haha. For now, we have the second Omakase Night at Kizuna. With no menu released beforehand, except for the usual suspects of vegetables, seafood and meats on rotation, of course I would pop an antihistamine to ward off the worst of the allergies.
Some people find it annoying to have to check in with a cafe's socials to find out what's going on, and even about last minute cafe closures on a weekend. I'm okay with it. Small businesses are run with little manpower and lots of difficulty. So if you're going to be a Karen, just don't patronize these independent cafes.
There were plenty of fun dishes. Bamboo shoots topped with fried bonito flakes, negitoro on seaweed, shiraou with egg in soup (like egg drop soup! hehe). I liked that scallop on corn mash. Except that I daren't eat all the scallops. The star dish of the night for us was the sayori sashimi. NOMS.
Then there was a seared sirloin. For carbs, there were sweet potato rice, and an angel hair pasta of crab meat and uni. We had to decline the allocated two portions of carbs and take one bowl instead. We couldn't do that much carbs. Dessert was a fun jelly with salted plum.
Kizuna has just turned four! We don't know if the cafe will go on in this iteration or it's going to change its mode of business. We'll see. Small businesses can pivot too. All it needs are people to drive the change and make the community.
