[…] Okay, the dining out part done for this post, on to the various dining ins. New sushi place tried, Kyodo, Ecuador 1175 here in Recoleta. Gave them a shot via delivery. Arrived swiftly, in about half the time they estimated. Nicely packaged, fairly priced. First time I’ve seen agedashi tofu on a takeout menu here – one of my favorites. Good version of it, taking into account that it got a little soggy sitting in the sauce during the delivery – I think it would have been better to keep the fried tofu separate and have the sauce there to add to it on arrival. Delicious salmon gyoza. Nigiri sushi was fresh and decent sized, and I like that they offer an option for a mixed selection rather than the “5 or 10 of one item” that seems to dominate the local sushi scene. The rolls were a bit wan. They didn’t quite live up to the other stuff in the boxes, but that could have just been my selection (California roll and a salmon skin roll). On my list to go check out at the source. [Edit: It hadn’t registered at the time as a couple of years had passed, but Kyodo had come to my attention negatively in relation to their online approach to competition. Hmmm… maybe since they didn’t wow me, I’ll just leave them in the past.] [Closed, replaced by Tori-Tori] […]
