MOCHIS ANYONE?... MAKOTO!

Definitely my #1 to satisfy Japanese cravings after a little shopping (or a lot of window shopping) in one of my favourite places, The Bal Harbour Shops. This restaurant offers an amazing atmosphere with a modern but still cozy vibe (I prefer outside seating). Its cuisine offers a lot of healthy options if you're trying to keep fit which includes salads, sashimis, sushis, modern dishes, charcoal robata, and delicious desserts (mochis are worth breaking anyyyyy diet).
I suggest you to order different dishes to share. To start, you can have Edamame, Hamachi Ponzu, and Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (my favourite!!!!!!!). As an entree, I recommend the Rock Shrimp Tempura, Miso Sea Bass and Kobe Beef (It comes with a sesame dipping sauce & a hot stone for you to cook this juicy thin slices ). Crispy Brussel Sprouts and Makoto House Salad are perfect as sides if you're feeling healthy; but if you are a rice lover like myself, you can try the Frosty Kobe Fried Rice or Japanese Risotto (it's cooked with truffle oil for 15 minutes at your table, which makes it, even more, mouth-watering).
To give the perfect ending to your lunch or dinner, a dessert is mandatory! And I couldn't recommend you anything else than a couple of order of Mochis, each one includes 3 (I always order one all for myself), you can ask the server to bring different flavours or just your favourite ones, mines are lychee, strawberry and green tea!
Since I have a crush with lychees, I always have a martini or sake of this exotic fruit, although white wine or champagne are also an excellent option (you know bubbles can't go wrong).

Nada mejor que comer deli después de un poco de shopping en uno de mis lugares favoritos, The Bal Harbour Shops. Este restaurante de comida japonesa es la opción perfecta si estás buscando algo healthy con un ambiance moderno pero a la vez cozy. Dentro de su menú encontraras ensaladas, sashimis, sushis, platillos innovadores, robata y deliciosos postres (obviamente nadie puede resistirse a unos mochis, mi postre favorito).
Te recomiendo que pidas varios platillos al centro para que pruebes de todo un poco. Para empezar puedes pedir unos Edamames, Hamachi Ponzu y Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (son unos rollitos de arroz crunchy con un mousse de atún y chile serrano, mi entrada favorita by far!). Como fuerte te recomiendo el Rock Shrimp Tempura, Miso Sea Bass y Kobe Beef (este platillo trae una piedra caliente y una salsa de sésamo para que tú cocines las finas laminas de carne a tu gusto). Las Crispy Brussel Sprouts y Makoto House Salad son los sides perfectos para guardar la dieta, pero si quieres algo un poco menos healthy puedes probar el Frosty Kobe Fried Rice o Japanese Risotto (lo cocinan en tu mesa durante 15 minutos, los mas tentadores de toda tu vida con ese aroma a trufa, imposible que no se te haga agua la boca).
​Para cerrar con broche de oro los mochis son un must, y no te sientas culpable si pides una orden para ti solo, pues yo siempre lo hago; también puedes pedir tus sabores favoritos, los míos son lychee, te verde y fresa.
Y hablando de lychees, nada como un martini o un sake de esta fruta exotica para acompañar tus alimentos (tengo un crush con su sabor), aunque otra buena opción es un vino blanco o un poco de champagne (¿A quién no le gustan las burbujitas?).
A little video to increase your Makoto cravings just a bit more... Enjoy!
