| KANPAI is on a
busy Lincoln Blvd, but once you step inside KANPAI
you are greeted with a modern and warm atmosphere.
They import their fish that day from all over
the world, and think of the best way to cook them
for only that day they serve. A restaurant that
is particular about their ingredients is also
always reinventing their menu. You can enjoy a
moment with the comfortable cushions while you
look for the food you want to eat that day from
a wide variety of menu items. The menu is all
about choice; you can choose the daily special
or one of the popular items. The right kind of
sake for your meal has a lot of options as well.

|
 |
| The selection is always including many new items too, so each time you
visit will be a new experience. You can even take
home the exceptional sake they have available
at KANPAI. You can enjoy it at home too, but we
would recommend staying around to enjoy KANPAI’s
delicious combination of “dishes and Japanese
sake.” |

Roasted Chilean Sea Bass
The homemade sea bass marinated in sake lees
will spread happiness in your mouth as soon
as you bite into it. The particular care of
how much sake lees was used, and how long it
was marinated, has erased the extra oil and
fish smell, and brings out the deliciousness
of the sea bass to its fullest. And the soft,
richly flavored atsuage (deeply fried tofu)
surrounds it warmly. The strong taste of the
soybeans mixes with the rich, slightly sweet
sauce and makes perfect harmony. The contrast
of the fried vegetables is colorful and aesthetically
pleasing and will stimulate your appetite. The
fresh texture of the vegetables enhances the
taste of the sea bass. You can definitely see
the chef’s skill and taste in this dish. |

Sashimi Sampler Plate
The sashimi sampler plate
provides the best fish of the day. Of course,
this is also arranged KANPAI style so you can
enjoy it to the fullest. This day they had freshly
imported hirame(flatfish) from Japan, salmon,
and kanpachi(amberjack) laid out on the plate.
For example the hirame was stimulated with yuzu
pepper and bright a red pepper berry (spice),
but at the same time yuzu juice makes it a fresh
aftertaste. The KANPAI chefs not only use the
fresh ingredients so that it tastes the best,
but they also make you discover a new deliciousness
with food you have tasted before. The fusion
of fresh ingredients and the chef’s creativity
create an amazing dish. |

Next
to it are 4 items from the specials sushi of the regular
menu. Every one of them is creatively prepared. For
example, one uses butter, and the salmon is mixed
with basil sauce. Of course the sauce for each one
is specially made for each sushi. You will touch chef’s
heart through all dishes that chefs want customers
to taste the fresh ingredients at its fullest even
if they put a lot of time. |
