Happy 14th Anniversary to Hubby and Me!

Shoga Japanese Sushi Bar 

Enjoying my dinner, Yum! 

Yes, I am lame eating with a dinner fork in a Japanese Restaurant!  I cannot eat well with chopsticks!  I tried and failed miserably!  Thankfully my waitress offered to bring me a fork, lol!

Here is John eating his food and is a master with his chopsticks!

 On August 14th, 2011 was our 14th Wedding Anniversary! We celebrated by  eating sushi at Shogo in Orem.  My brother in-law Matt and sister in-law Chiaki highly recommended that place! Since they are sushi experts and my sister in-law is from Japan, we trust their opinions!  We absolutely loved it!  The atmosphere was cozy with friendly service. The presentation of the food was very creative, fresh, and authentic.  The restaurant was decorated with black modern and chic furniture.  We started our meal out with a refreshing house salad that contained a couple types of lettuces, mandarin oranges, tomatoes, shredded carrots, and cucumbers topped with an Asian dressing.  We then shared some sushi rolls (playboy and funky roll), and had an incredible dessert chocolate trilogy mousse,MMMMM! 

Our sushi rolls with a side of sauce, ginger, and wasabi

We like to mix our wasabi in with the soy sauce in the small white dish.

The Funky Roll and Playboy Roll 

The funky roll included the following: cucumber, crab, avocado, rice, seaweed, topped with eel tempura and a couple sauces.  As for the playboy roll, it included the following: shrimp tempura, cucumber avocado, rice, and seaweed topped with raw tuna, spicy mayo, unagi sauce and tobiko.

Chocolate Trilogy

What a beautiful edible master piece! It has three layers chocolate genoise, white milk chocolate, and dark chocolate mousse, with dark chocolate shavings, three sauces, and powdered sugar!  Oh, what a delicious treat!  We died and went to heaven!  There was a serious party going on in our mouths!  To our surprise, it was not too rich.  It was very fluffy and tasty!  We are total Shoga fans and cannot wait to go back again to try something new on the menu!  We give it 5 stars!  We left the place feeling satisfied and not over full.  This place is by far better than Happy Sumo and Sushi Ya!
