Cuisines: Seafood, Asian, Japanese
About
Authentic cuisine, including a sushi bar, has made Ran-Getsu a popular haunt for moneyed Asian tourists, though some travelers find its prices too high. Tekka-don, tender slices of tuna that are mild enough for first-timers, is a refreshing choice on the sushi side; so are platters, such as sashimi, maki rolls, and thinly sliced chirashi (rice topped with assorted seafood). Yosenabe is a bouillabaisse with an unconventional though savory twist -- duck and chicken are added to the seafood mix; lobster is available at an added cost. Speaking of seafood, una-ju delights eel lovers; the filets are grilled in kabayaki sauce. Less adventurous palates may prefer shrimp tempura or a steak served in teriyaki sauce. A traditional Japanese drum show is performed in the evening, Thursday through Saturday. Ran-Getsu has a small wine list as well as sake and plum wine.
