Shoyu in Park City, Utah

It was mommy-Max dinner night after piano lessons at the Utah Conservatory so we hit Shoyu downstairs. Shoyu is small, casual, intimate, delicious and reasonably priced. 

Agadashi Tofu.  Traditional standard silken tofu that is lightly coated in cornstarch, then deep fried and served in tentsuyu, a sauce usually containing 3 parts dashi, one part mirin and one part soy sauce, and then topped with scallion and bonito flakes. Love this—serious comfort food warms your soul :)

Crispy Calamari.  The batter was too thick so we ended peeled off the coating.

Crispy Roll.  This actually looks a way creepy, but it was amazing. Tuna, avocado inside-out and deep fried with some eel sauce and spicy mayo. Max inhaled this one.

Spider Roll.  The crab was exploding out of the roll. Simple and traditional, humongous crab, light on the rice. I really appreciate Shoyu's large protein to small rice ratios.

Located in the old Reef's Kitchen space at Kimball Junction, Shoyu is intimate and cozy. We like to come here for sushi before the movies at Redstone.

Hubby has soft spot for everything Penn so we had to see the latest Denzel movie Unstoppable. You know, that dude movie about an unmanned freight train. Love it! This was one darn good train-wreck movie that taught me: geography of Penn, historical impact of trains/railways, locomotive brakes, the physics of derailing, the construction of tracks, politics of union workers, cool tech electronics tracking, etc., etc. Must book a train-themed family vacay to Penn now... Railroad Museum of Penn...?!
