We had an amazing <em>tiradito</em> of fresh salmon in a passionfruit sauce, a two-salmon sushi roll, three other different appetizer plates: a truly delicious fried wonton wrap of king crab (similar to the trout packages noted in my original post, but richer), a scallop ceviche served on the half shell, some wonderful spring rolls, and a trio of main courses, including a beautiful dish of glazed, grilled octopus with a potato puree, baby calamari with black rice that looked like a mound of caviar, and a saute of shrimp, shiitakes and green onions. Although truly fantastic and creative, it is pretty pricey - let's see, 5 apps, 3 mains, 1 dessert sampler, a few bottles of water, four coffees and one bottle of wine came in at a sticker price of 750 pesos, plus tip. (And, btw, my friends were picking up the tab and ordering, so I wasn't going to order more, but for six people, that wasn't near enough food - I met up with Henry a little later and we went out for sandwiches.) Interestingly, given the cost, the place was full, and mostly locals - all conversations I heard were in Spanish other than at our table - and, Osaka's menu is only offered in Spanish, no translations.
