It took all of, oh I dunno, two weeks before I was back in Chinatown at @nomiyasg. This time, we were going to conquer the menu and conquer it we did, along with two whole bottles of sake. Yes, my wallet’s still on fire, and my bank account has spontaneously collapsed into a black hole. Please stop asking.⠀

You’d have to be absolutely mad to miss the small skewer selection that Nomiya grills on their compact charcoal grill. The king oyster mushroom ($4) and scallop ($9) are competitive choices for this category, with the juicy mushrooms stunningly seasoned & smoky from the binchotan grill. As for the scallops, they weren’t the largest, but they were definitely among the freshest shellfish in Chinatown. Seductively sweet, succulent & brilliantly bouncy, these magnificent mollusks were peak perfection just the way they are.
