Natsu Matsuri Dishes You Cant Miss
Takoyaki (Octopus Balls)
Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and topped with dancing bonito flakes, takoyaki is a festival staple for a reason. These little bites of joy are made with diced octopus, batter, green onions, and pickled ginger, grilled into round perfection. Drizzled with mayo and a special savory sauce, they’re one of those things you can’t stop at just one.
Tamashi’s version is made fresh, hot, and oh-so-satisfying. They’re the kind of comfort food you crave even when it’s 95 degrees outside. And isn’t that the best kind?
Yakisoba (Fried Noodles)
There’s something magical about noodles sizzling on a flat top, coated in a slightly sweet, tangy sauce, and finished with crunchy vegetables and thinly sliced meat. Yakisoba is a summertime favorite you’ll see steaming away at festival stalls all over Japan.
While Tamashi is best known as a Houston ramen restaurant, we want to show our love for every kind of noodle! When you’re in the mood for something a little smoky and stir-fried, yakisoba is your summer go-to.
Grilled Yakitori (Chicken Skewers)
The smoky scent of yakitori on a charcoal grill is the true aroma of a Japanese summer night. Juicy pieces of chicken, brushed with a glaze of soy sauce, sake, and sugar, are skewered and grilled to perfection.
Although we’re a ramen restaurant near you in Houston, our appreciation for these savory skewers is unmatched. They make the perfect side to a cold beer or a bowl of warm noodles.
Sushi and Sashimi
You didn’t think we’d forget about sushi, did you? Cool, delicate, and crafted with care, sushi and sashimi are refreshing bites that offer balance to all the fried and grilled delights of a festival.
If you’re looking for sushi near you in Houston, Tamashi’s curated platters are the perfect mix of tradition and creativity. From classic salmon to exciting rolls, there’s something for every sushi lover to enjoy, especially during those hot summer days!
