Ochiyo 1710, Shanghai- 5/14/2023
Ochiyo 1710 is a Japanese restaurant located on Huahai Road in Shanghai. Ochiyo 1710 have three dinning rooms, one for Omakase Sushi bar, a Yakitori (grilled skewers food) Bar and a Yakiniku (grilled meat). Ochiyo 1710 offers a Dinner Omakase for 1,280 Yuan = $175 and the lunch Omakase for 710 Yuan= $100. People we know recommended the lunch Omakase instead of dinner as it an incredible bargain and you get pretty much most of the dishes served at dinner.
The facade of the restaurant is very minimalist with only the number of the street showing but no sign for the name of the restaurant.

The chef actually shaved a good amount of Foie gras on top of the tuna negiri. This is so good!

Next he is blow torching a piece of river eel
Then he brushed the top of the eel with what looks like to be teriyaki sauce.
