We were allowed to an entree, drink, and dessert of choice. I selected the Unagi Donburi and Matcha with Strawberry Ice Cream paired with their exclusive Hong Kong Parfait. The donburi was fragrant, and the portions of eel were generous, tender, and carried that signature caramelized flavor you only find in Japanese preparation. It also came with a side of miso soup while small, is very concentrated in flavor unlike the typical watery servings in most JP style eateries. It seemed to be served on a bed of brown rice, with other garnishes.
The drink carried a very strong tea flavor which balanced out nicely with the brightness coming from the strawberry ice cream. Last but not least was the parfait, which was impressive in every aspect including presentation and flavor. It comes with a matcha soft serve while slightly bitter, is balanced out by different aspects of various fruit and tea jellies, mochi, whipped cream, and strawberries, resulting in an incredible variety of flavors.
