O Chame Lunch

Went to O Chame this afternoon and had a very nice lunch. We started with an appetizer of Seared Tuna Sashimi with Braised Leeks and Horseradish sauce which was delicious! The leeks were simply sweated and was a nice mild savory note to the slightly smokey taste of the tuna tataki. The horseradish sauce was not of the wasabi variety but of the english type mixed in a creamy mayonnaise based sauce in which I detected sesame seed oil and soy sauce. Then I moved on to a nice bowl of Udon Topped with Smoked Trout, Mustard Greens and Enoki Mushrooms. And had an amazing dessert of Caramel Balsamic Gelato which was intensely fruity, vinegary, sweet, sour, cold, and very addictive. And a light Sherry Custard which was like a dessert version of Chawanmushi, except that it was sweet and was topped with a lovely Sherry. It was silky and smooth. The appetizers and desserts seemed highly creative compared to the entrees but all was excellent. I would definitely go back there again.
