Yeah, I think the oysters just had too much sauce…

I truly appreciate your evaluation of the Morimoto omakase. My husband and I frequent the restaurant and have tasted all of these dishes at least twice. I completely agree with you about the Bouley Bakery macarons…they are the best in the city (I’ve only found better ones at Laudree in Paris). I also agree with you that it would be more prudent to spend money on beer and massages than on the massaged kobe cow. However, I disagree with you about the kumamoto oyster dish. It is my absolute favorite on the menu. Perhaps your oyster was prepared with too much teriyaki? I’ve always found mine to be sweet, rich, and delicious. Thank you for the great pictures, they are a constant reminder of my favorite chef’s accomplishments.

Alabama + Wagner = potentially explosive combination. I never did receive that lobster, by th’ way. Expect my latest culinary creation, whole-monkfish sashimi in an aged newsprint wrap, to arrive in yr mailbox soon.

Beautifully presented, photographed and reported. A meal of such subtlety and complexity strikes me as a bit like listening to a Wagner opera: I would enjoy the event moment-to-moment, but lack the perspective to appreciate the whole. For four hours I concentrate intently, but later can neither recall nor explain specifics. My western caveman palate longs for the Alabama seven-course: a six-pack and a possum. Massaged and beer-fed, served on rock salt by people with bamboo whisks.

I command you to send me that lobster.
