We booked Hono partially as we’re always curious about “new” Japanese places (2years of Covid don’t count) and Monday’s are tricky in QCity - and Monday by 7:00 this place was packed with a Sat night buzz almost. Super friendly staff - served by one...of the owners who was very friendly and steered us right. Things are not easy - sake’s in short supply (I knew) but a nice glass still to be had. Shiitake tempura is infused with yuzu and wholly original appetizer. Karaage fried chicken w wasabi mayo and caviar. Mondays I’m loathe to try sashimi so cannot comment - but it did look good. Tsukune was the best of the yakitori/ skewers. We were told the standard pork belly they use for butabara was not available. What struck me in all the dishes was a playfulness - and though we yearn for the classic Japanese way - I think if I’d been to an izakaya recently this would be a super break from the standards. Let’s call it a new take on old standards. They’re working on a ramen shop next door opening in a month or so - Kurisumasu Miso?More
