When it’s 90+ degrees with a heat advisory, the only heat we’re wanting is the flame that torches our aburi salmon. Fresh salmon garnished with smoky lava salt will melt in your mouth. The tart and sweet honey ponzu will leave you thinking about the next bite. Do yourself a favor and order two. #izakaya #fresh #snacks #mpls #beattheheat #salmon #yum #刺身 #炙り

A part of the humanity has left us today. He has inspired so many through his respect for all people, religions, and culture. No one has united our world better than him through his travels and knowledge. His legacy will live in us. Hope he'll watch over us from above. RIP Anthony Bourdain
