A much needed night out with hubby and our friends at Kru’s new location in East Sacramento. It’s a wonderful addition to the neighborhood with outdoor seating and a stunning interior which is open, airy and inviting and with a handsome sushi bar to boot.
We were in a sushi state of mind but I knew for the sake of this blog I would have to try one of the ramen offerings and so I ordered the cold tea smoked duck ramen for us to sample. Impeccable presentation with the soy dashi carefully poured into the dish at the table. The dish came with thinly sliced rare duck over cold noodles and garnished with shaved radish, two tempura green beans (I snagged both actually my favorite part of the dish), micro greens, seaweed and masago or tobiko. It was hidden from the photo I took and now I can’t recall which fish roe it was. I’d prefer they didn’t include the roe since it didn’t add anything to the dish and was more of a distraction. However put in some ikura with the optional poached shrimp and I would be singing a different tune.
It was a delicious evening out and we will be back again soon. The ramen was good but not the main attraction. Definitely the go to place for sushi and my new favorite Peter Rabbit cocktail with Botanist Gin, Lime, Elderflower Syrup and Gifford Elderflower Liqueur.
