First time trying Ojakhuri — completely converted

I had never tried Ojakhuri before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The nutty and aromatic taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. walnut paste is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a Tbilisi restaurant with a tamada toastmaster setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. My server recommended chacha grape pomace spirit alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Ojakhuri. Outstanding first encounter.
