The exquisite nigiri slices gleam with freshness, and you do learn about the component parts to the perfect serving of sea eel or gizzard shad. January 8, 2013 | It's torture to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi -- if you are on an empty stomach. January 7, 2013 | By the time this graceful film is over you understand why Japan has declared the bald, bespectacled Jiro a national treasure. Even if you've never tasted sushi, the man's singleness of purpose will inspire you. April 20, 2012 | Gelb apparently understood that his subject was itself so taking that he wouldn't need filmic embellishments to keep his viewers alert. Obsessive, we were saying? Oh my, yes, and that's what makes the film so compelling. April 19, 2012 | This documentary strikes a balance between storytelling and food porn that's hard to come by in foodie flicks. Like a proper sushi meal, "Jiro" left me feeling sated, not stuffed. April 12, 2012 | TURN YOUR DEVICE TO PORTRAIT

This sad fact means that Japanese restaurants have not been on our go-to list for some while, unless we have sitters. So, as a family that loves to eat out a lot, we have lamented the lack of sashimi in our lives and resigned to the fact that for the moment, the texture of seaweed and raw fish was a bit much for their young palates.

Then we heard that the good people at Toro Sushi Bar (44 Upper Montclair Plaza) were promoting their “make your own bento box” as a fun way to engage little ones.Going out to make our own bento boxes seemed a good way for me to get my sushi fix and to introduce them to something new and fun. Here’s the good news: they LOVED it. The girls were so excited when I told them we were going to go out and make our own bento boxes, although it transpired that they had misheard and thought they would be painting and decorating “vento” boxes. I then broke the bad news that we would not be doing a crafts project in the restaurant. So with the confusion cleared up and their initial disappointment heavy in the air, we entered Toro Sushi Bar. Once inside, we ordered three bento boxes between the four of us figuring we could all try a bit of everything. Basically you choose one dish from 3 categories: sushi, appetizer and main. The choice was good with all the major proteins as well as a good vegetarian choice with tofu and vegetables.

We were quickly brought miso soup to start with. The five-year olds’ verdict on this was that it was “good” as it tasted “nice and sea salty.” While we were waiting for our bento boxes we were brought some of their carb-free rolls to try – the kinuta roll. This was fresh tuna on a roll of finely peeled cucumber with crab in the middle. Eldest, the one that loves fish, ate the tuna, while Youngest just ate the cucumber. Once they’d stopped playing with their kid-friendly chopsticks, the girls tucked into the bento box they were sharing. The teriyaki salmon was really tasty with a crispy skin. I loved that it came with broccoli florets and carrots. The tempura came in a crispy batter—it was a selection of a few big shrimp and assorted vegetables. Predictably Youngest, my veggie-lover, stuck into the crispy sweet potato tempura. As the girls were tucking into their edamame, my husband told them that edamame was what soy sauce came from. This prompted Eldest to ask: “Why are edamame green but soy is brown?”

I tried to explain that the soy beans were fermented and was quizzed by my incredulous Eldest: “they put cement in them???This revelation did not inhibit either of them from polishing off all their edamame, as well as ours… It was a very enjoyable dinner with attentive service although we narrowly avoided disaster when Eldest was about to dip her wasabi-covered-chopstick into her mouth, but my husband stopped her just in time. I enjoyed my bento box, the sashimi was fresh and tasty and the tempura provided a crisp, crunchy contrast. From a kid’s perspective—it was a lot of fun. Choosing the bento box contents, playing / eating with chopsticks, being welcomed by a Maneki-neko (those waving cat figurines) and eating more than their fair share of edamame all make for a fun and engaged mealtime, as did guessing unfamiliar ingredients: “This is tuna???” They both agreed that they loved the shredded radish garnish although they refused to accept its origin: “No, this isn’t radish, it is wire” pronounced Youngest.
