Crispy Dango | S$3.60++ (3 pcs)
Unlike the usual yakitori grilled meatball we usually get, this deep-fried rendition adorned with mayonnaise and plum sauce was a simple pleasure to everyone at the table. Although it was deep-fried, the chicken meatball was crispy and not overly oily, best served as a side dish.
Crispy Chicken Gyoza | S$3.60 (3 pcs) / S$5.80 (5 pcs) Another side delicacy that's worth trying and a must-order at any Japanese restaurant, the chicken gyoza was stuffed with minced meat pan-fried till crisp and finished with a touch of goma sauce. The juicy flesh was starkly juxtaposed with the crispy dough skin, which made every mouthful a joyful munch.
Warabi Matcha Mochi Ice Cream | S$6.80++ a la carte / S$4.80++ with order of any main course It is almost a mantra to feature matcha in any classic Japanese dessert. The matcha ice cream served with azuki beans and chewy mochi dusted with kinako 'roasted soy bean flour'. The ice cream was a bit too milky for my liking and I would prefer it to have stronger matcha taste.
Super Yuzu | S$4.80++
A refreshing beverage to go along with the savoury dishes, concocted with yuzu juice, soda and yuzu pee. There's even an alcoholic version filled with 15% of soju available.
When there's not much good food in your area, you know how blessed you are when you have food that is consistently good at affordable prices!
Overall Verdict: 7.5/10
