I feel that I must report to myself, for my very own sake, the delicious experience I had here

I almost missed the entrance on this first visit here. There is a signpost leading you to the elevator on Jaffe Road.

Up in the restaurant, it is a well illuminated, neat and spacious environment that embraced people with a comfortable quietness along with gentle music floating.

The staff kindly explained their menu – there are a la carte menus and sets, as well as “Chef’s Choice” course the menu varies each day depending on the best ingredients available that day.

I bet they know the best seasonal food, so here I go with their “Chef’s Choice Shika” Course.

Sweet vegetables of different textures.
Baby Taro and cooked sweet potato are both nice , but I especially recommended the fresh okra (raw) ~~ fresh and healthy.

Today’s course is Hokkaido oyster, Striped jack, Japanese amberjack, Whelk and fatty Tuna. They are served along with seaweed salad and wasabi.

Hokkaido oyster has a gentle sweetness, followed by mild-tasted Striped jack. The amberjack is fully seasoned with onion, Dashi and herbs so it is very intense. The Whelk is fresh and chewy. Shashimi section ends with a grand finale – inch-thick fatty Tuna! Comes with Nori and Sea grapes, it makes me miss my stay in Okinawa.

Here is spicy cooked duck breast and double-grilled splendid alfonsino.
The duck breast would be too salty for those who are not used to traditional Japanese seasoning.
The grilled fish is salty as well but not as heavily flavoured as the duck. It has a nice dryness to it and goes well with the smoothness of mayonnaise.

Tonight’s sushi is Japanese ...Lates? (I believe the chef said Akame, but my neighhour happens to be speaking loudly, so I might have missed it), saury, fatty tuna, sardine and sea urchin.
They all are of a nice softness and sweetness, especially the urchin, balanced with spiciness.  I like it when they put a leaf of sishu along with wasabi. I also noticed it is not made from white rice. The rice is seasoned when cooked and provided a further richness to the taste.

There’s also a sweet egg roll preceding the soup.

Saury soup! Saury is one of the representing autumn dish in Japanese food. I’m glad I have it both in sushi and soup.

Dessert part one, Hokkaido white corn. It is floating honey, naturally sweet beyond words. I wouldn’t mind having more even though I am full with the main course.

Dessert part two, green tea ice-cream. Coffee flavour is also available. It is comparatively not as sweet after the white corn but draws a pleasant and cool ending to this meal.

Now here comes the wow moment~~ the bill ~~ $988.

Other Info. : It is not, indeed, in the price range for everyday meals. I would, however, leave a mental memo for place suitable for celebrations or very decent self reward.
