So dinner at Yazawa was pretty awesome last night. The meat quality obviously speaks for itself, but what really impressed me was the seasoning on the meats. Most cuts of beef were prepared very simply…salt, pepper, and sometimes sesame oil. Not groundbreaking stuff, but the balance was just perfect every time. Nothing was overly salted, nothing was bland. And even though they give you a few dipping sauces, these cuts didn’t need any sauces to be enjoyed.
The wine list was pretty annoying though. I get it, it’s a high end place in Bev Hills, but how about adding some wines under $200/bottle? They have a fairly small list and average bottle price is probably in the ~$350 range. Did manage to find a really solid 2005 St. Julien for $275.
Service was really good and they cooked every thing for us. Dinner for 4 with 2 bottles of wine and 4 shots of Yamazaki 18 came in at a whopping $1800 with tip and tax. Not sure I would come back here on my own dime but for an expense account dinner, it was a great choice.
