I chose the Miso Black Cod, served atop
fresh sautéed vegetables (all entrees come
with white rice.) Two filets, broiled until
lightly golden and the skin a bit crisp, were
glazed with Saikyo miso sauce, a slightly
sweet blend of miso, mirin and sake. It
was easily the best dish of the evening,
each bite melting delicately on my tongue.
I can’t stop talking about it.
Service could use some polishing, as
well as the timing of each course. We had
just started our appetizer when the Special
Rolls arrived. Then the waitress brought
our hot entrees before the first dishes were
cleared, leaving us awkwardly pushing the
empty dishes aside — and they remained
on the table until we were done.
For dessert, we shared Green Tea
Tempura Ice Cream. Thin slices of pound
cake cloak a scoop of ice cream, which is
then dipped in a tempura batter, quickly
fried, and served with whipped cream.
Each bite was cool, creamy and crispy.
Dozo is BYO but serves imported soft
drinks. A can of Calpico soft drink was
lightly effervescent and refreshing; a glass
bottle of Ramune lychee soda was a bit
sweeter. I watched the waitress open it by
pushing on a tab, which released a glass
marble held against the opening by carbon-
ation. Once opened, the marble bobbed
around in the bubbling soda, easily
entertaining my inner child. ■
