economist sunsuntribune diversions saturday april 19 2003 25 dessert menu minimal from page 24 44 choices and the noodles in soup 18 choices also deserve close inspection twenty minutes into reading the menu we decid ed we had to either close pur eyes and randomly pick a sample off each page or ask for a recommendation we chose to turn our fate over to our kimonoclad server from the 22 appetizers 395 to 995 we sampled a delicate shrimp and veg etable tempura steamed mussels in a fragrant and slightly spicy broth and plump japanese dumplings i was tempted by the edamame and the soft shell crab but decided to leave the appetizers and forge ahead with the xest of the menu from the grill bar we sampled a beef with enoki mushroom that featured six deliciously charred strips of rare beef wrapped around a small bunch of mild enoki mushrooms unable to keep focused on the three pages of sushi and sashimi we went to the combo offerings and sam pled some of the more popu lar varieties including california rolls tuna and salmon sushi cucumber roll and radish roll they were all freshly pre pared and excellent the whole tray of 18 pieces was a terrific value at 995 we had to sample from the special sushi roll section which featured such interest ing offerings as sushi pizza black dynamite roll and fuji snow roll curious we were so we tried a spider roll which con sisted of eight pieces of deep fried soft shell crab cucum ber tobiko and spicy mayon naise trying to complete our meal before our stomachs gave out we shared a beef teriyaki tender and sweet pan fried raman noodle homemade noodles with slivers of barbecue pork and vegetables and grilled sar dines my dining companion claimed they were soft and tasty but not being a sardine fan ill take his word for it i wouldnt bother saving room for dessert the selec tion is minimal and pricey families take part from page 24 enjoy themselves ms claytonwood says painting ceramics is better than an arcade or the movies where you cant even have a conversation as much as she enjoys watching children revel in her studio ms claytonwood says thursday evenings dubbed girls night out are a welcome change of pace she says its often seniors or womenlvho come and select a more challenging item as a keepsake or gift your fired customers on the other hand seem to like putting their cre ations to use the homely appeal of handpainted ceramic mugs plates and jugs add to the ambiance of cot tage life ms hoffman says sometimes the entire family takes part and results can be surprising i had a 40th birthday party for a lady and some
