Retroactive Thursday: Bloody Murder

Part 1: Dinner

There's a (relatively) new Japanese place near work, so I figured I would give it a try.  It's replaced another place that I seem to recall was a buffet style place.  

The yelp reviews suggested getting the sashimi combo, which is what I did.  I clearly did not read the menu sufficiently, as I was soon bombarded with piles of food.

1. Edamame.  I believe these were complementary.  Not as salty as I usually like, but not bad.
2. Miso soup.  Standard.
3. Tsukemono.  I don't like pickles, so I ignored them.  Sorry.
4. Salad. The lettuce was a bit pale, but it had a good dressing.  I'm not sure what it was, and the menu describes it as "house miso dressing."  There was something sweet about it, and I kind of thought it had a pineapple-y flavor.  I was offered more dressing for it, but by that time, the rest of my food had arrived.

1. Rice.  Duh.
2. Ahi sashimi.  Not much to say on this. It's ahi.  Sweet, delicious ahi.
3. Unagi.  This can't have enough said about it.  Properly grilled, so there's crispy burnt ends.  I think this was the best unagi I've ever had.   

Part 2: and a Show

It's been awhile since I've been to the theater, but I saw that they had a "comedy murder mystery," and couldn't pass that up.

Set.

See, I told you that was the title.

Generally enjoyable, although it can be a bit too much (such as the scene where the characters realize they're being played by Americans).  A bit too much direct influence from the Clue movie, what with the closing with "Shake Rattle and Roll."

I will admit that it took me far longer than it should have to realize that they were doubling up the characters. It should have been obvious, in a kind of Superman/Clark Kent fashion.

Now I kind of want to rewatch Clue and Dark and Stormy Night.

I also had the weird experience of seeing someone who you think you know, but then don't have a name for that person, so you assume that you really don't know them.  Weird.
