January will be an exciting month for MÄS. Luke will be traveling and working in Tokyo, and I will be holding down the shop providing a special counter-only experience all month. During January I will be sourcing fish from the Tsukiji market in Tokyo. The menu will feature some traditional techniques, and of course our signature Cascadian style at MÄS—blending the traditional with our region's bounty. I have been researching all the different types of fish available in the season and am excited to share with you the processes to cut, age, and present different species. I am looking forward to our counter-only month at MAS and looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces at the counter in January.
