Maki Doesn't Sucky



Folks, consider yourselves forewarned. This restaurant is tiny. But goods things come in small packages, no? *nod-nod-nod*

I'd been to Maki before and wanted to introduce the restaurant's simple and clean flavors to Josh. Items on Maki's menu aren't cheap (a meal will run you about $25), but I think their grub is worth it as we left feeling simultaneously full and inspired by the various flavors presented.

Josh ordered the mini-wappa meshi with unagi (eel). His unagi "wappa" (unagi over rice in a bamboo basket) was accompanied by miso soup (not of the packaged freeze-dried assortment), oshinko (pickled veggies), hijki (seaweed), seafood salad (squid and shrimp), chawan mushi (egg custard). I ordered the sansai wappa(mountain vegetables over rice in a bamboo basket) and enjoyed the generous offering of compartmentalized tasty "tapas".

Josh liked his meal. The tastes were "clean, simple, and elegant." Maki was "delicately creative," their food "light, but filling," and "the whole restaurant was very neat, very... I don't know..."

His tummy definitely smiled :)
