New York | Hakubai 🌟

I visited Hakubai when it first opened, and the price was $195 per person. The internet was flooded with pictures of their adorable strawberry cakes, and I was so tempted! 🍰 The appetizer was snow crab leg meat, incredibly fresh and full of the ocean’s flavor. 🦀 🐟In the triple combination appetizer, the most memorable part was the monkfish liver—soft and creamy with no fishy taste. 🍣 The sea urchin tamago (egg custard) was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! I loved it! 🍖 The sashimi had six or seven different types of fish layered together. The sauce really enhanced the freshness. I especially liked the scallops! Since my friend couldn’t eat cucumber, they substituted it with another vegetable at the bottom. 🍣 🐟When I arrived, I noticed the chef at the bar carving something (I thought it was salmon), but when the dish came out, it turned out to be daikon radish! Such a spring-like dish. 🌸 The red snapper was also served with radish, and the combination was very satisfying. 🐟 The A5 Wagyu was tender and juicy. It was my first time seeing it paired with wasabi, but the presentation and tableware were slightly less impressive compared to the other dishes. 🍖 #NewYork 🌇🌟
