Restaurant Week Adventure

After reading M's inspiring email last week , I did make a reservation a restaurant I have not visited before for Restaurant Week.  I chose a Japanese restaurant named Sushiko. They have two locations- one in Georgetown, the other in Chevy Chase. I'm going to the Chevy Chase location.

A page on Sushiko's website describes its philosophy of Japanese cuisine as " we believe that Japanese cuisine is not defined by Japanese ingredients alone. If we were so narrow-minded as to consider only dishes created solely using Japanese ingredients and traditional techniques to be Japanese cuisine, we would only be a second-rate imitation of Japan. Instead, we believe in the perpetuation and reflection of the Japanese philosophy of art and food as being the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine. This philosophy, the soul of Japanese cuisine, is manifested in the process of food preparation. From the showmanship at the teppanyaki table to the careful and precise knife work of a master chef, every action in creation of Japanese food is deliberate, and adds a unique part of great value to the final product."

I could not find a Restaurant Week menu on Sushiko's website nor on the Open Table website. The element of surprise is a bit thrilling and I believe it will be fun.

I'll let you know more after this evening's adventure!

Be well,
