Easily one of the most ascetically pleasing restaurants on Post Road is a Japanese place called Kiraku. I chose to go on a night with nice weather because there is a garage door on the street side and the owners tend to open it to let their customers get a pleasant breeze.
All along the bar there are neon blue lights that make the talented sushi rollers look like DJs. The word “talented” is an understatement when it comes to these masters of the art. The tight rolling can be compared to Cuban cigar rollers, except these guys speak English and are experienced in the culinary field.
The service was phenomenal and one of the owners, Joe, came over to our table to check on us. When I heard Deadmau5 come on the radio I began to scarf down my rolls with an accelerated tempo.
My family is in the liquor business and I recognized a few delicious wines on the list, as well as the wide selection of hard alcohol. One of the coolest things I saw was a saki-heater that warms = the saki to a great temperature for a smooth saki bomb. The generous Japanese culture made me feel right at home at Kiraku and I would give it four out of five stars.
