This was definitely partially due to the amount of drinks I consumed during the meal because not only was the tea so delicious, my own BYOB drinks were just fantastic too (started off with kombucha, then had sparkling water/beer).TL;DR is that it's a must eat if you've got $350-375 to blow on a meal that will leave a lasting memory on you. Make sure to bring some beer.All 18 courses: 1) Yuba, ikura, freshly grated wasabiWe open with the yuba (tofu skin) that was smooth and creamy. Pops of the ikura (salmon roe) added brine to the neutral dish and the freshly grated wasabi provided a nice sting to counter the brine. It's quite rare in the US in my experience to see real wasabi being used and you could tell this was the real deal because it was an incredibly bright green.2) Squash, truffle, Japanese uniAlready we start to see what will be the theme for the dinner - lots of truffle and uni. A wonderful combination.3) White truffle, Spanish almond, and persimmon sandwiched between Normandy butterBefore this, I probably only had one instance where I tasted white truffle and it tasted very light. The persimmon and Normandy butter squares were a great mix. I think the almond and truffle mostly provided some textural contrast.4) Mantis shrimp, lobster, squid or clam?, baby peach (green)One of my favorites in terms of novelty. The seafood was mixed with a soy based sauce, but the baby peach was the most curious thing for me. Initially, I was expecting something savory like an olive but the sweetness of it surprised me. After the meal, I found out it was a baby peach. Yama-san said the thing is expensive, about $2 per grape-sized baby peach.5) Japanese scallop, pesto aioli, dried egg yolkPretty solid, tastes as you'd imagine.6) Spoons: oyster topped with uni, 2 types of caviar, soft boiled quail eggYama-san's signature dish. Imagine eating a bunch of seafood with balsamic vinegar.7) Anago with miso sauceSeawater eel is really fluffy if you've never had it before. This creamy miso sauce just sent this dish to heaven. Another one of my favorites.8) Steamed ice fish wrapped in leaves and with small fish plus crazy good green sauce with guts Loved this dish as well especially the sauce made from fish guts and was great with the green tea.9) Wagyu beef curry with fried fish, cuttlefishUpon the delivery of the mildly spicy beef curry, I immediately knew to ask one of the waitresses to pour me the nonalcoholic beer I brought, which is brewed in the classic German style. This would be great with any lager. The beer added the bitterness I needed to counter the tanginess and spice of the curry sauce. I loved this curry because it had hints of the sauce you'd use for tonkatsu.10) Toast with frozen toro, blue crab, truffle, and uniThis one was again one of those decadent dishes to bombard you with more truffle and uni. You can do no wrong here.11) Bluefin tuna with micro greensYama-san was prepping this when we entered his restaurant and since it takes some time to break down a tuna, prepare to chat it up with your neighbors or bring some semblance of patience before the meal begins so you can get some high quality tuna. Enjoy the simplicity of quality fish.12) Negitoro with truffled parmesan, soft boiled quail egg.This one was fantastic with the green tea. Something about a creamy and fatty fish with cheese that needs tea to cut through the fat. Quite an interesting combination I did not expect would taste as good as it sounds.13) Hairy crab Kegani in Japanese. Was cool to try this in the states. The meat is looser and smaller in quantity than the Dungeness crabs you'll find on the west coast.14) Seafood ramen with spicy meat broth, crab, shrimpApparently made using bottled water from Japan. Crazy man. This was another dish that went well with the "beer" or sparkling water. I'd consider the spice level to be a medium.15) Wagyu beef with mushrooms and truffleOne of my faves. Beef with mushrooms and truffle with a slightly sweet sauce is just a winner.16) 4 piece sushiThe typical tuna, some white fish I don't remember. At this point I realized what a mistake I made not skipping breakfast.17) 1+ hand rolls with uni, blue crab, shisoNow, Yama-san will make you some hand rolls. Theoretically you can eat as many as you can but I could only fit 2. Most people ended up eating 1. No one attempted a 3rd. Anything with uni is a win in my book and the mix of creamy/slightly salty uni with the sweet/creamy blue crab was great with the seaweed and sushi rice. The shiso leaf was questionable, I personally didn't care too much for it.18) Crisp peach sorbetThis was made with the baby peach that we also had earlier in the dinner. It was refreshingly light and mildly sweet. Thankfully we didn't have a heavy dessert because I think I would have not been able to hold everything down.
