Hanabishi

The age good food guide has claimed Hanabishi to be Melbourne's best Japanese restaurant, so my expectations were kinda high when we went.
and i was excited!
The place was kinda unprepossessing (i think its the king st aura)
the service average

but from the time the food touched my lips
i was sold.

my brain was pretty much sayng 'YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM' the entire time.
it was funny
i was damn hungry and damn sleepy at the same time
so it was a very weird sensation

and guess who was a BIG FAT 5TH WHEEL?
haha

toro sashimi in an ice bowl


oyster shooter: FRICKING DELISH LA


soft shell crab and tepura udon in the background


miso cod


wagyu steak
this was my main,and unfortunately the beef was overdone and tough

HAHAHAA


green tea creme brulee
SOOOOOOO gooood
if only it had been left baking another 5 minutes, and it would be utter perfection
