The basis of traditional Japanese food is still a mystery to many
people. It is one of the world’s most distinctive culinary traditions,
yet the common misconception seems to be that there is no such
thing as Japanese cuisine because there is no cooking involved!
As you will discover, not all Japanese food is served raw. It
is true that freshness is the quintessential quality prized by
our chefs. Texture is another important quality, as are pure clear
flavors and simple elegant presentation. To assist you in your
selection here are some brief descriptions of our menu selections.
| 1. |
Sushi consists of bite-sized
cakes of vinegared rice topped with slices of fresh seafood.
It is customary to mix a (little) bit of Japanese horseradish,
wasabi, into a dish of soy sauce with ginger slices, and
dip the sushi into it. Then, enjoy! It is even better with
beer, sake, (a rice wine), or wine. |
 |
| 2. |
Sashimi is slices of fresh
seafood. It is eaten in the same manner as sushi. |
 |
| 3. |
Teriyaki is a style of
cooking meat or fish on grill with a tangy soy based sauce.
It is served with a green salad, miso soup, and rice. |
 |
| 4. |
Tempura consists of various
seafoods and vegetables dipped in a light batter then deep-fried.
These morsels are then dipped in a lively turnip ginger
sauce and eaten. |
 |
| 5. |
Bento is a meal of Japanese
specialties, including tempura, teriyaki, and Japanese salads,
arranged in a beautiful lacquer box. It is a sumptuous personal
feast. |
 |
| 6. |
Donburi is a hearty one-dish
meal—a bowl of rice topped with tempura, meat, etc. It is
served with miso soup and salad. |
 |
| 7. |
Udon and Soba are both
types of noodles served in soup with seafood and vegetables. |
 |
| 8. |
Sukiyaki and all of the
Miki Specials are beef, chicken, or seafood mixed with vegetable
and cooked in broth at your table. They are for two or more
persons. |
 |
Please order from any category you wish. Please be aware that because
some dished, such as sashimi, come from the sushi bar while others,
such as tempura, com from the kitchen, it is possible that these
dished may not be served at the same time.
Beer, sake, and wine all make excellent accompaniments to Japanese
meal.
 We
hope you enjoy dining at Miki
