Tasting Journey #68 - 七道.鮨.新食


七道.鮨.新食
台北市松山區延吉街40號
02.2570.1080

My cousini is a frequent here, and I was first introduced to this place for a "welcome to Taipei" dinner.
 
 
Taipei is a city full of small izakaya's.  The restaurant is small, yet rich in Japanese coziness.  You can probably only fit a dozen or two of guests all at once, with approximately 9-10 people at the counter max. 
 
This restaurant is menu-less, and serves from price ranges of $1,200+up.  I don't believe the chief ever asks for food preferences (I've never been the one making the reservation), but the selection is definitely enough to fill you up, even if you've got a bottomless stomache.  I've tried both the $1,500, and the $2,000 selection.  Frankly speaking, I cannot tell the difference as I felt like the dishes I ate are quite similar.  I guess I'm just not an expert in seafood in the sense that certain fish is pricier than others.  For a North American who grew up eating salmon, tuna, salmon, and tuna... all other fish are out of my realm of knowledge. hahaa...
  
Of worthy  mention is the sake glasses.  You pick your sake, then you pick a glass of your choice.

 
 
Quality-wise, it is fresh and decent.  For a meal to be priced in the thousand's NTD, the quality's got to be at least acceptable.  However, I would say that the price is more for the menu-less experience, as well as how each dish is served on a separate plate, all nicely displayed.
