Charlotte Food Adventure - Episode 4

Uriah and I were looking to go out to sushi so we called to make a reservation at our favorite place, Yama Asian Fusion, but as it turns out, they were renovating and closed "for at least another 2 weeks". Bummer! Well, this gave us the chance to explore and find a new place! And what a new place it was!
Nakato Japanese Steakhouse was amazing. The atmosphere was on point and I felt like I was walking into medieval Japan. To sit at the hibachi tables, you have to actually take your shoes off (so make sure you don't bring any stinky-footed friends). Also, make a reservation because the wait for that was 45 minutes. Lucky for us, we just wanted to sit at this awesome circular sushi bar with a little moat around it carting around little sushi boats. So fun.


We ordered far too much sushi (as is par for the course for us) but we ate it all somehow. It helped that it was deeeelicious. They had a lot of rolls that I had never seen before. We ordered one with jalapeno in it. It was so good. We also ordered one with fried squid in it (aka calamari).
Here's a picture of 1/4 of what we ordered. You can see the GIANT Kirin Ichiban that I got in the corner. It was great :-) I can't wait to go back again.
