Hana Zen is at the cross streets of Cyril Magnin & Ellis Street.

We had just a lot of everything. Most of the dinner consisted of a chef’s choice of sushi and Susan and Tom’s favorite dishes.

Everyone snapped up the sashimi - fresh, delicate and well, you can’t have just one. We also made fine work of some “dragon” rolls [with the fish rolled over the seaweed and rice] and other spicy tuna offerings.

I had my first taste of Yakitori - grilled appetizers of sorts. Everytime a sever brought out a Yakitori dish - he or she urged us to eat it right away - lest it get’s cold…or something like that.

For our non-raw dishes…we had:

Lamb Yaki (the lamb meat was tender and easy to pry off the bones)

Yaki Asparagus (Grilled asparagus with Japanese mayo and tobiko - I dug the mayo…so tasty and hearty)

Scallops wrapped with bacon - oh yeah, bacon makes seafood taste good. I could not stop myself from gorging on this stuff.

Ika no Maruyaki (Grilled Whole Squid with special teriyaki sauce - also good….light and smoky)

We had more than these dishes…a lot more…but remember, I had sake. It was a miracle I could hold the camera steady. I suppose some would say it was a miracle I got the pictures off the camera after it’s been through a washing machine.

OK - this was a special dish - compliments of the chef. Everyone here loves Susan and Tom - did I mention that? So, the chef created this special sushi dish - especially for Tom. It’s not available on the menu…a few minutes after it was served - it was not available on the table. We gobbled it up. Again, that fresh - delicate - yummy
