Alto Saxophone player Mr. Sadao Watanabe came to San Francisco with his band this weekend. He is one of my favorite Japanese Jazz musicians but I've never seen him perform in person so I was so excited to find out he's coming to Yoshi's for his first stop of his US Tour. (Plus, I really wanted to dine at the new Yoshi's San Francisco.)
We got to Yoshi's little early to enjoy their bar menu with a drink.
The Jazz Club was a perfect size and all the seats have a great view.
Japanese beer goes well with Agemono type of Japanese food!
Tori no Karaage - Deep Fried Chicken
Agedashi Tofu
Vegetable Croquette
Negi Hama Tempura Roll
Chocolate cake with caramel ice-cream
The Bar/Lounge menu offered many choices, but I wasn't so impressed by the food much.
I liked the karaage and the dessert though.
Maybe I need to try the restaurant for the full review.
Mr. Watanabe's performance was great. He brought his band members to U.S. for the first time and they were very enthusiastic players. The 90 minutes of performance went by very fast.
His other U.S. tour destinations are Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington D.C., New York and Boston. I hope that I will see him again soon.
