I'll start bit dis-focused this time :-/
Congratulations Hamilton! I'm Massa fan, but that doesn't matter. You have more points, meaning you deserve to win it, although, you are champion because of an unexplainable slow lap by Timo Glock...
Back to Umami :-)
I've been a couple of time in this restaurant, and as always, I had a perfect experience. Nice and trendy atmosphere, nice people and delicious food. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, so, although we wait for 20 minutes to be seated at our reserved table, it's been fun.
It was a Saturday night, with a DJ spinning some lounge and chill out tunes behind the bar. I had Umami's Ginger passion as starter. Lychee liqueur - a flavor often noted in Gewurztraminer, passion fruit juice, ginger syrup, fresh lime... Nice!
Of course we went for the Omakase-style dinner and Wine pairing. We expected the chef to be surprising in the selection of dishes. Actually, this is the best way to check the gourmet cooking, fine dining, and artistic performance by the chef.
Among the other stuff we had poached king crab mixed with wasabi and shiso dressing, fried toro, grilled veal (tenderloin) with wasabi, etc.. in total 5 course menu accompanied with 3 glass of white wine, one glass of fine sake and one glass of red wine.
I had amazing experience; especially the unique twist between Japanese and French cooking and wonderful service. Ingredients are fresh, flavors are unique, with superb texture. In addition, this is quite fashionable place.
At about 220€ per person, including wine pairing, it doesn't come cheap.
Highly recommended.

Little bit offtopic but still in connection with the Japanese cuisine ...
I've been honored by "The Globetrotter" with some Japanese cookies/sweets recently :o) and I went back in time with their taste. My grandmothers (Macedonian lady from the town of Veles) cookies tasted just the same though much more sweet.
The taste was predominantly a taste of raw [Latin: Cicer Arietinum]; [Macedonian: Naut] and Cornstarch powder - natural gelatine [Macedonian: Nisheste]
The Sugar Master
P.S. Timo is still driving the last lap.
