YAKIMONO

If you are looking for real,  FRESH, DELECTABLE sushi then Yakimono is the place to go. Located on the beautiful, trendy Rotschild Blvd, Yakimono restaurant awaited our ravenous stomachs with succulent seafood.

We decided to try the tasting menu. The menu for two is at a price of 180 shekels per person.

We began with the Kushi Yaki Salad- sweet pickled vegetables, Kaiso Special- seaweed, cucumber, avocado, and salmon in chef's sauce.

Karuma Ebi- jumbo shrimp with wasabi cream sauce,sexy dish, soft and creamy,

Goma Sushi Mora- sushi balls wrapped with salmon in chef's sauce- totally melted in our mouths! Rainbow Special- salmon and avocado wrapped with selection of chopped fish, we gasped with pleasure, Spicy Nigiri- sashimi salmon wrapped around rice topped with chopped salmon, Gonkan Sakana- special nigiri with selection of chopped fish, Gonkan Hamachi- special nigiri of yellowtail, sent shivers all over our bodies! Maguro Pepper- seared tuna and lemon finely sliced with pepper sauce, Gyuu Niku Koshoo- beef filet in pepper sauce, served with garlic rice,it was so good we just wanted to leave it in our mouths for days but eventually we had to swallow!

Shiromi Zakana Basil- Grey Mullet cooked in  coconut milk, basil and spicy chili, saucy and stimulating!

Next to our must have sake drinks we had delicious cocktails called A.C cocktail- named after the amazing father (of blessed memory) and son duo owners Avi and Alex Cohen. The cocktails are pink, sweet , fresh and exquisite!

For dessert- Tapioca Brulee- Tapioca Creme brulee served on phyllo dough with ginger marmalade and the Nemesis Cafe- Baked Chocolate Mousse with mocha brulee - both dishes were so decadent that obviously we got double dessertgasms!!

Yakimono is an enchanting restaurant with an alluring clientele, great for first dates, celebrations and basically for anyone who appreciates high quality seafood and a professional staff.
