Bar Hayama: Kozara (Small Plates)

The OT girls came by today for some dinner. I thought that Bar Hayama would be a great place to enjoy some sushi and variety to Japanese food. I hadn't been here for awhile and noticed that their menu changed, well at least the specials had changed. We started off with an Albacore Seared Salad. The dressing was really tasty...a sort of asian soy sauce based dressing.
Next we had the Blue Fin Tuna Tartar with with wonton chips. It was so light and fresh tasting, I absolutely loved it. My favorite dish of the night was the Grilled Squid with Mayo Sauce. OMG....the whole squid (yes tentacles and all) was perfectly cooked. It reminded me of when I was little at the neighborhood Japanese school carnivals where they served grilled squid in teriyaki sauce. I want to go back for some more!
The next two dishes were fabulous as well: a Sauteed Black Cod in Mushroom Sauce and the Hayama Cruchy Spicy Tuna Roll.
If you want some good, innovative, Japanese food with lots of variety (small plates style), Bar Hayama is a definite must try restaurant. Just give me a call and I will meet you there (it is on the same street I live on about 4 blocks away).
