Little bit of Japan in Jamaica

I recently visited Jamaica for a group family vacation at the Beaches resort. There were 4 restaurants to choose from, one of which was Japanese hibachi style dining. The entertainment was more fun (we had a happy singing chef) than the entree as the main meal was fairly standard… pork, chicken,steak with lots of rice with veggies. It was cooked well and had lots of flavor, but nothing out of the ordinary or necessarily exciting. However, the appetizer was fantastic. Not only was it pretty to look at, it was 4 tiny bite-fuls of tasty goodness. I wish my photo were as yummy as the food.

The miso soup was also delicious. I’d never had miso soup before, so I can’t say how it compares to others, but I really enjoyed it. The entire experience was worth the required reservation and wait. The kids enjoyed it and our bellies were happy when it was all over.
