Daikoku Restaurant in Cabo San Lucas provided us with a truly unforgettable dining experience, blending the best of Japanese cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and inviting decor, featuring traditional Japanese elements that set the stage for an exciting culinary adventure.
The menu was a feast of traditional eating elements, with a choice of fresh sushi, gyoza, sashimi, and other expertly crafted dishes that highlighted the best flavors of Japanese cooking. The staff made sure every detail was perfect, ensuring that we all had a fantastic time. It was an unforgettable luncheon filled with delicious food and the warm ambiance that Cabo San Lucas is known for!
To start, we were treated to a choice of gyoza or fresh salmon sashimi. The gyoza—steamed dumplings filled with beef, vegetables, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil—were a crowd favorite, with many of our Tomatoes raving about the rich, savory flavor. The sashimi was equally impressive, with thin slices of fresh salmon drizzled with soy sauce and orange juice, topped with rayu for an extra kick.
There were four main dish choices. One was Yakimeshi, a fried rice with egg, seafood, and vegetables that was delicious. Another choice was tempura Yasai, a vegetarian option of green pepper, yellow pepper, sweet potato, onion, pumpkin, avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom and Kakigue, accompanied by fried rice or Gohan rice. It was appreciated by our vegetarian Tomatoes. The Teriyaki roll of rib eye on the outside, avocado and asparagus on the inside bathed in teriyaki sauce, was a tasty treat. The last selection was tempura Sakana, a fish battered with a little vegetable, green pepper, yellow pepper, sweet potato, onion, mushroom, pumpkin, mushroom and asparagus. The fish was extremely fresh and the batter was excellent.
The dessert was battered bananas with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center, bathed in cajeta, chocolate or strawberry jam. It was the perfect indulgent sweet ending to a fantastic meal.
Despite the length of the meeting, everyone left feeling satisfied—both with the food and with the wealth of information shared. We can’t wait to see you all at the next luncheon and on the red carpet for the Salute to the Oscar Tunes Follies!
Until then…
