Cafe Shimada Strikes Again

We're always excited to receive an invite to Miki's house for dinner, especially when her scrumptious take on Japanese home cooking is on the menu. Cafe Drake pal David Sellers joined us as well for a trip to Tokyo whilst grounded in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A starter salad of seaweed, buttery Bibb lettuce, radishes and cucumbers was refreshing and delicious, but only set the stage for a host of tasty dishes to follow: Japanese greens with sliced fishcakes, vegetable stuffed pork rolls in a ginger sauce, rice with mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots, with sesame cookies and green tea to finish.
