Dinner @ Maneki

After a hard week's work, a group of us decided to go to Maneki for dinner on Friday night. Opened in 1923, Maneki is the oldest and probably most famous Japanese restaurant in Seattle. I was super excited as Will and I have never been to Maneki. Thanks to our friends who are semi regulars, we had the most yummy and varied dishes - sweet shrimp sushi, raw scallops, sea urchins, avocado salad, grilled cod, grilled mackerel, spider rolls, fried shrimp heads, rice boiled in beer(!) topped with eel, 2 different kinds of cold sake and plum wine to start with. Maneki is now my fav Jap restaurant in town!
