| January was Izakaya month at Nodoguro. It was such a fun menu. The point of focus was creating the more assertive tavern fare while maintaining identity and respecting all of the existing limitations. The result was a menu that was comforting and familiar, but very clearly Nodoguro style. This is our rice course, which was basically a Chazuke. It was made with Sasanishiki rice and Sake and smoke treated Sockeye Salmon. The Chazuke was topped with baby aka karaine greens, katsuobushi, kizami nori, and popSoba, finished with a luxurious tea scented Dashi. This was one of my favorite rice courses of the year. Super fun. |  |

 This shot is the sunomono course from the Glitter menu at Nodoguro. The glitter menu was our end of year menu and all the dishes were inspired by Osechi ryori. This dish was based on Kohaku namasu. Pickled lotus root, seasoned carrot, and poached Dungeness crab.
