Fabulous meal at Tachibana in McLean earlier this summer. Absolutely love this place. Highly recommend it if you are visiting like I was, or live in the area.
Great ankimo, grilled salmon kama, sardines, sashimi platter and chu toro to end the meal. Superb service and ice cold Sapporo to accompany the meal with.
I just got back from Portugal so those sardines caught my eye! Thanks for the review. Former coworkers who work in Tysons rave about this place, but I’ve never been.
Stupid question but how do you eat sardines/herring prepared like that? I peel the skin off with my chopsticks and then lift out meaty pieces from the top half then flip them over to get the other half. But i always figure i am doing it wrong somehow…
One of the downsides of not having a local along when you try dishes you have never had before.
