Saturday lunch at Osaka


i have not been back to Osaka sushi in the Castro for a while and i was kind of craving my favorite roll at Osaka - the "Osaka fantasy" roll. so off to the Castro i went.

i ordered the miso (of course) to start. my next dish was the agedashi - soft tofu tempura with agedashi sauce. it was yummy... hot soft tofu with a delicate crunchy skin, mmm...

my next dish was, of course, the Osaka fantasy roll. it has scallop, mango, shrimp, tobiko, shiso and rice all rolled up in a delicate egg crepe and drizzled with special sauce - i think it's some kind of mango mayonaise??? it was so good! i always have the Osaka fantasy everytime i come here. it had been ok (not as perfect) a few times since they had different sushi chefs but the one i had today was delish, just as i remembered it. the presentation got fancy with a strand of chive balancing across the roll, that was new to me!

and finally, the last dish was the ichiban roll - a white tuna roll with avocado and unagi (bbq eel) drapping on top, drizzled with unagi sauce. yummy! that's it, i got my fill of sushi for the day.
