I was hosted by John Collins at Kikuhana Restaurant in Las Vegas.
It's located at Rainbow and Sahara in a small strip mall. It's a very nice neighborhood place that belies the quality and authenticity of the Japanese and Okinawan food that is served there.
The chef is Satoru Uehara who owns it along with his wife, Akemi.

Sashimi Platter
I was amazed at how fresh the items were despite being in the middle of a desert!

Spicy Tuna Sashimi with Crispy Onions
It is very interesting how the onions are prepared; almost like crunchy flakes. At first glance I thought they were bonito flakes. Really goes good with the sashimi!
Devil Shrimp
The shells are sliced so that they open up to look like "oni" but it is really "oishii"!

Spicy Tuna on Rice Cake
The rice cake is pan fried in a shoyu sauce; very tasty by itself but really good with the tuna and then kicked up with the jalapeno.
The Plum wine was very tasty as well.

It's a shame that the detail of Chef Uehara's handiwork can't be seen in the photo. It was amazing watching him carve this masterpiece.
The best WITH the best!
