West Hollywood or “WeHo” has become an interesting
intersection for me. More of my co-workers select WeHo as their place to call
home. In addition, I have been receiving way more invites to dine at WeHo
restaurants. I was fortunate to be invited to one of the hottest restaurants,
Roku Sunset.
Due to the large front windows, the interior is full of
natural light. Combined with the fact that their is spacious seating available,
Roku Sunset is extremely welcoming. It’s certainly bodes well for someone
trying to impress their date.
I typically lean towards sake when I eat Japanese seafood.
After perusing the drink list, I decided it was only fitting to start with a
sake flight. After all, it was an easy way to sample different types of sake.
The traditional sake sampler consisted of three premium
samples: Ken Sword Daiginjo, Yuki No Bosha, and Shichi Hon Yari. The Ken Sword
Daiginjo was probably the driest of the group. The Yuki No Bosha was fruity and
had notes of banana and strawberries. The Shichi Hon Yari was the most
interesting as it was very rustic and earthy.
I began my meal with the bluefin tuna.
It was combined with
diced avocados, tomatoes, shaved parmesan and shaved truffles. I was initially
skeptical about mixing bluefin with parmesan, but overall the combination of
flavors worked very well.
