Patio season has arrived and as usual Calgarians are hungry for long afternoons in the sun, coupled with great drinks and delicious food. Ki Japanese just launched their Izakaya menu using spring & summer ingredients. There are some seriously tasty and refreshing cocktails on that menu that are perfect for enjoying post-work.
Also, another new and great program at Ki is the Buck a Shuck program - with $1 fresh shucked oysters served with chili daikon ponzu - available Monday to Friday from 3-7PM + $5 highballs, Sapporos and $7 wine from 3-6PM. Yes, you heard that right - Buck a Shuck EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. So, if you are like me and cannot wait to indulge in some incredible oysters just one day a week, you can take advantage of this great deal and slurp some down a couple days of the week.
Take a sneak peek at the new menu here:
Tempura Pacific Oysters: chopped and battered served with spicy ponzu
Ki Sushi Salad Roll: Japanese spring roll with maguro + sake + avocado + asparagus in rice paper
Gyoza: pork belly dumplings with pickled cabbage + chili oil sauce
Duck Confit Lettuce Wraps: carrots, celery, shitake, water chestnuts + spicy kabayaki sauce
Pork Belly Bao Sliders: steamed buns filled with panko crusted pork belly served 3 ways
Tuna Tacos: big eye tuna in a crispy wonton shell with salsa + guacamole
