I am a grazer. I have always enjoyed a little of this, a bit of that, instead of a full dinner. I love to taste other peoples dishes, something my husband has never appreciated. Sometimes I read a menu and find so many things that sound good I don't know what to order. Well, at Rappongi (http://www.rappongiusa.com/) you will find so many things on the menu that tempt you, AND order them all. Why, because Happy Hour at Rappongi is a grazers delight.
Last week our family was in town with our new grandson, Lennon, now nine weeks old. We wanted an early dinner and one that everyone would enjoy. Rappongi was the perfect place to eat. We sat out side under warm heaters and enjoyed the night air. From 3-6 everyday, Rappongi offers their tapas menu and specialty rolls at half price. We ordered a wonderful array of tapas (Asian style) and sushi rolls. There were six adults, and we ordered about 13 dishes, several beers, a few diet cokes, and the bill came to $127. Not a bad price for the feast we had. Succulent grilled lamb chops (four per order), duck quesedillas, edemane, hummas and flat bread with spices, kefir cheese (a tart cheese like thick yogurt) with flatbread, potstickers, chicken spring rolls, several sushi rolls (each one with about 8 pieces) and a lamb curry dish. The portions are generous. We all got a taste of everything.
I had forgotten what a bargain this restaurant is. Beautiful ambience, great location, and wonderful food at affordable prices make a winning combination in my book. Go there after six pm and pay double for the very same thing. We loved eathing early. It gave us time to visit the Rocky Mountain Candy Company for a taste of something sweet, and of course a carmel apple to take home. Then it was over to Starbucks. David had to get back to LA that night, and needed a java fix to get him home. It was a wonderful afternoon and evening with the people I love most.
