More About

I've never seen Hapa's optional ending course served in a sushi restaurant, either, but I must admit that Fukuda's cheese selection makes an intriguing finale. Slender slices of Italian Pecorino Romano paired with ruby-red quince paste is a salty-aromatic combination. And here is where we enjoy the Kurosawa Daiginjo sake promised with our oysters. The drink, even spoiled by our initial treat of "mystery" sake, is wonderfully smooth -- and the perfect wrap-up to a marvelous feast.

While I can't turn back the clock and celebrate my youth as I should have, I can-- and will make up for lost time with Hapa Sushi Lounge.
