Trying out this Japanese place with a friend before a late movie; a slightly long walk from the underground but it was worth it. The sashimi platter satisfied our fastidious tastes; the scallop was so fresh, the toro almost sweet with a tinge of fat, the sea urchin did not melt on contact (a freshness proof), the salmon, mackerel, blood clam, shrimp were of above-average quality though the tuna was slightly disappointing with a "fishy" flavour. Offering to deep fry the prawn heads was a nice tou
Trying out this Japanese place with a friend before a late movie; a slightly long walk from the underground but it was worth it.
The sashimi platter satisfied our fastidious tastes; the scallop was so fresh, the toro almost sweet with a tinge of fat, the sea urchin did not melt on contact (a freshness proof), the salmon, mackerel, blood clam, shrimp were of above-average quality though the tuna was slightly disappointing with a "fishy" flavour. Offering to deep fry the prawn heads was a nice touch. The grilled cod was smooth and melted on the palate, but was not too salty or sweet. The ox tongue slices were well marinated and chewy. The sea urchin fried rice was quite tasty, it wasn't over-dried (as some eateries blew dry the fried rice dishes and overdid it) but was slightly salty on second helpings. The miso soup was so-so.
Overall the service was fair though repeated reminders were needed for refilling tea. But with a 50% credit card discount, this was $296 per head which was great value for money and an encore would be in order.
