Wasabi guacamole, served with lotus root chips. $9.50
Izakaya Sozai, San Francisco CA
This tuna tartare was delicious and fun to eat with the lotus root chips. I also liked the wasabi guacamole underneath. It gave the dish a nice Asian flare. The tuna was a bit more minced than I prefer, but the flavors were all there. Mmm…

Sounds great!
I love tuna tartare. There is an excellent version at Alan Wong’s Honolulu and BLT at Trump Tower Waikiki. Lotus chips? i love them as well. We call lotus root “hasu” in Hawaii. Very good sautéed quickly with sake, soy sauce, sesame oil. Crunchy goodness!!!
I can’t say that I’ve had a lot of dishes with lotus, but I’d like to try more. Sautéed lotus would be a great start. Will have to check these places out next time I’m in Hawaii!
Nice idea with the lotus chips!
Yeah, and they look great too!
This sounds SO good!
I was surprised they had it on the menu because this restaurant sells primarily yakitori and ramen, but it delivered!
