How often can you score box seats for a Friday night symphony at the Kennedy Center for a mere $20? As if that wasn't enough to make you feel lucky, you hit no traffic driving there at 6pm on Friday night and park directly in front of your experimental dining choice for the evening, Kotobuki, in Palisades. Now, I know this is supposed to be a blog at least somewhat about eating in PG in the proximity of Cheverly, and I know I have done an exceptionally poor job lately. But the reality of it is there is less traffic in the summer, there are a lot of things happening, and we are just out and about a lot more than the rest of the year when we tend to stay closer to home. Perhaps the heat makes us itchy and adventurous.
Kotobuki is located in the sleepy Palisades area, a quick drive around Georgetown to the Kennedy Center. In its tiny upstairs room we were seated immediately (see, I said we were lucky) and munched on quality toro and hamachi sushi, shitake and avocado maki and some inari. We also tried the earthy-sweet burdock and carrot salad. I'm not sure the last time we ate our fill of nice sushi for $20, but this was our night. I liked the place-- simple, plain and quality for a good price-- these people have the right idea and I hope they stick with it.
