Located at the basement of Jardine House in Central, this casual Japanese restaurant is a great place to have a chatty dinner with friends.I went with a friend on a Friday night and as soon as we were within sight of the restaurant, amazing smells of yakiniku assailed us.

I went with a friend on a Friday night and as soon as we were within sight of the restaurant, amazing smells of yakiniku assailed us. I did not book a table but it was early and we were able to get seats at the teppanyaki bar.
We decided to get try the Tasting Menu for Two which consisted of:
1. Assorted Sashimi
The sashimi were amazingly fresh. It was supple and clean-tasting without a slimy aftertaste. I liked how they served it with the lobster head whose feelers and mouth were still moving, by the way. A little creepy perhaps but I was too enthralled to react negatively.
2. Assorted Sushi rolls
There were three kinds of sushi in the platter. I don't remember what exactly they all were but one contained avocado. They were all delectable.
3. Shrimp Tempura
Thin, crispy breading breading on the outside; hot, tasty shrimp on the inside. I can only say YUM!
4. Lobster and Chicken Soup
After we were done with the tempura, we were served a large piping hot bowl of lobster and chicken noodle soup. I don't normally slurp my soup but the soup on this little number was just too tasty to not slurp. You could actually taste the mixture of chicken and seafood broth in the soup unlike other soups that taste like hot water sprinkled with instant chicken broth powder. They used jelly noodles for this soup, which i loved because even though it took us a long time finishing it, the noodles maintained their consistency and did not get soggy. This was probably my favourite dish of the night.
5. Cold Soba with Egg
My least favourite dish of the night. The egg was a little too runny for my taste, but basically I just didn't really like it. Not after the heaven that was the lobster noodle soup.
6. Green Tea Ice Cream
Yummy! Creamy without being too sweet. This was a great way to cap off the dining experience.
All that for just $200 per person. I say it's a bargain worth trying and going back for.
