tonight, i hosted my first event for sf foodies at izakaya yuzuki in the mission! i finally got to check this little joint out since it opened its door last november. seven other foodies joined me on this raining night to share some authentic tapas style dishes over sake and great conversations. what an awesome group of people that came out tonight! oh, boy... i laughed so hard that my cheeks and tummy were hurting! to top the night off, we all had bi-rite ice cream after dinner despite the rain... :D some of my favorite dishes for the night were zaru tofu, aji no hiraki, kakiage and asari gohan... their house-made tofu was absolutely delicious even without the accompanying condiments. and, the yuzu salt in kakiage brings out the sweetness of the shrimp and the earthy taste of the vegetables. izakaya yuzuki change their menu frequently because they use organic, sustainable and seasonal products to create their dishes. i will definitely pay them another visit soon!
