Reviews
《Environment》
Located on Yongle Street, this newly opened Japanese izakaya features an interior full of vintage Japanese vibes🏮. There are bar and small table seating options, making it more suited for gatherings of 2-4 people. As there aren’t many seats, it’s recommended to call ahead for reservations during peak dining times. Additionally, the air conditioning inside is strong, so it's best enjoyed with some drinks🍻 to avoid catching a chill.
《Dishes》
With so many dishes to choose from, I'll highlight a few popular choices and personal favorites:
📍Assorted Sashimi💰280
Includes two slices of salmon, two slices of tuna, and three slices of swordfish. The marbling is average, but the thickness is substantial. The texture is nice, though the aroma is somewhat lacking.
📍Stewed Sweetfish💰220
This seems to be one of the specialties of the restaurant. The female sweetfish is stewed very thoroughly, making the whole fish edible, with the bones fully softened. It's a great match with drinks.
📍Torched Salmon Oyako Don💰380
Richly garnished with tamagoyaki and a salad🥗, the salmon is seared almost all the way through, yet still remains tender and moist. The vinegared rice pairs well with the sashimi, although its texture is on the softer side.
📍Scattered Sushi Don💰280
Features salmon, tuna, and swordfish. The cuts used are from the trimmings, so the marbling isn't as rich, but it's still a satisfying bowl.
📍Japanese Yam with Mentaiko💰170
The yam slices are thick with a soft texture. The downside is the mentaiko sauce, which largely tastes like mayonnaise, covering the mentaiko flavor entirely.
📍Salt-Grilled Matsusaka Pork💰160
The flavor and doneness are decent, but the Matsusaka pork slices are cut a bit too thin, lacking texture.
📍Sapporo Draft Beer💰130
A must-order for beer lovers. The beer glass is stored in the freezer, enhancing the beer's aroma and providing a smooth taste, perfect for when you're just off work.
Overall, the flavors are quite good, and the dining experience is pleasant, though the prices are slightly on the higher side.
《Parking》
If driving🚗, there's a paid parking lot🅿️ on Zhonghua Road (next to the Shopee store). Given its location near the Yongle Street shopping area, riding a scooter🛵 might be more convenient.
《Service》
There isn't an excess of service, but dish removal is swift, and the service attitude is excellent👌.
