Tori-Ten
"Chicken tempura w/ tentsuyu and tartare sauce" ($11.80)
Fried chicken chunks topped with a retro-cotton candy pink tartare sauce (actually stained with umezu aka the pickling juice from the Japanese red ginger used in the Gyu-don plate). The same spread of lightly pickled celery, radish and napa (my favourite of the trio); a marinated shredded carrot, konjac (firm jelly-like yam cake) slaw; light dressed salad; miso soup chocked full of sweet root vegetables, and bowl of rice come with this fried chicken plate, as well as a lightly dressed cream coleslaw and saccharine soya-based tentsuyu sauce. Very much like a mixed plate of various snacks (this is essentially a plate of chicken karaage), tapas, if you like to call it that, along with a bowl of rice. Again, another filling option offered at midday.
