I came to Abeno Restaurant as It had been recommended to me as a place that serves real Japanese food. I was surprised to find out that Japanese cuisine isn t just sushi. I m fact, we didn t have any rice at all. Instead, we ordered a number of very interesting sounding meals. It was all fantastic. A series of small meals led the way to the star of the evening- okonomyaki ( I guess it s like a Japanese omlet) . All the food was prepared from freshly chopped ingredients and fried in front of us on the hot tables ( just like in the movies). The people preparing the food would accompany the process with a small story of each meal s origin....it was truly entertaining. I had never learned so much about food in a restaurant. Not to mention the deliciousness of that! What I really liked as well is how they use seasonal ingrendients in their menu- something that the waitress was very proud to mention. I never been to Japan but after the visit to Abeno, I have another reason to put the country on my bucket list- fantastic cuisine. 5 stars from me!
