Kappa Revisited

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in SF. I first went about a year ago (read the original review here) and ordered a la carte. Armed with an appetite and a different camera (can't believe I once lived in a 3.2 megapixel world), I went for a second time and tried the $85 pre-fixe omakase dinner. It was definitely a feast for the senses! Enjoy the photo essay!

WOW, that's a LOT of food but then again it's a hefty price too. I think I'll be ordering a la carte but DEFINITELY wanna give this place a try. OMG I'm totally craving sushi now!

I have spent the last few weeks away from my kitchen and my computer, so minor renovations at home could be completed, and my cooking has been limited. But I couldn't let May slip away without making and posting this fantastic tuna salad which was one of this month's picks for my Barefoot Blogger cooking group.
