Towa is not a sushiya, although they do have some sushi/sashimi offerings. If you come here expecting sushi works, you're dumb and need to go home. Towa is what Japanese food actually tastes like in real Japanese homes, when overworked parents have no time to roll handmade sushi, so they, you know, cook food like every other culture. Towa is about homestyle Japanese comfort food, but through the Manhattan lens of slightly too high prices for slightly too small portions.- Umami Tomato: Not as umami as I would've liked, especially given that tomatoes have natural MSG. But the dashi jelly, chia seeds, and passion fruit pieces were refreshing, and it was nice that the entire thing was pre-sliced for our convenience.- Yasai Tempura: I wouldn't have chosen this myself, but my friend wanted vegetables (so she chose the deep fried kind?). We got avocado, okra, eggplant, pumpkin, lotus root, sweet potato, and shiitake mushroom in our platter.- Anago Katsu: One of the more unique items being that it's eel cutlet. Tasty but tiny. So, so tiny. Wish they'd given twice as much to justify the $25 price tag.- Nasu Dengaku: From the same friend who wanted vegetables. Forgettable grilled eggplant with surprisingly little flavor. The three kinds of miso were indeed colorful but had no taste.- Wagyu Ishiyaki: To quote Rihanna, "This is what you came for". Hear that sizzle and smell that beef? That's people cooking their thin slices of A5 wagyu beef on a hot stone. I love DIY hot stone grilling, and it's so hard to find in NYC these days. This was good, but again, too little. I could've done with at least 5 more slices of beef. The accompanying sauces (wasabi, yuzu kosho, miso, and soy) were a nice touch.- Seasonal Donabe: Undisputedly the star of the night. It takes 45 minutes to arrive, and girl, it's worth the wait! Traditional cooked rice in a clay pot with seasonal Japanese vegetables I rarely see even in Japanese restaurants (besides Kajitsu). The first bite instantly took me back to my childhood days eating the donabe made by my Japanese grandma. Don't expect a flavor bomb, here. Donabe is subtle, nourishing and comforting--just like grandma.- Sake Kasu Cheesecake: I love cheesecake as much as Kim Kardashian loves a selfie, and you can't come to a JP place and not have JP cheesecake. This one was decent but not the best--it tasted a bit burnt and the yuzu honey sauce was kind of overkill.Want to get your liquor on? The best bang for your buck is easily the $19 Sake Flight that lets you choose any 3 sakes from the list of 8 or so options (so get the most expensive ones, duh). And the pours are pretty generous too. Skip the B & R Highball.Service was the attentive, obsequious, sweet-toned service everyone associates with Japanese people. I'm not sure I'd schlep back to Towa exactly, but I also wouldn't be opposed if someone really wanted to go. I just wish there was a 10% discount I could apply to the bill to even out those high prices.
