For Karyn's special birthday, we took here to N/Naka in Los Angeles to introduce her to the concept
of the "Super-Meal"...
A first appetizer course with mussels and onion foam.
A combination appetizer course with tempura, two types of fish, truffle salt, and a sweet apple to finish.
A sashimi course with a stripe of beet puree and a stripe of seaweed puree.
A soup course where you pour the soup into little bowl and drink it, then eat the makings of it out of
pot afterward.
A sashimi course featuring tuna, scallops, and lobster.
A wonderful course that has layers of eel, foie gras, and mushroom, that is probably the
most umami thing you have ever tasted.
Another fish course.
One of N/Naka's signature dishes: angel hair pasta with abalone. Absolutely magnificent.
A Wagyu beef course. Picture if beef was super tender and tasted almost like bacon.
An oyster course.
A first sushi course.
A second sushi course.
A first dessert course: a berry ice for a palette cleanser, along with chai.
A second dessert course: multi-layer berry torte with chocolate ice cream and extra flavorings.
A third dessert course for the birthday girl, featuring some chocolate truffles.
Our very sated group.
