It's my mom's birthday today and I thought if I couldn't bring her to Japan this year, I might as well bring her to an authentic Omakase restaurant. So I heard this place is pretty good and most importantly, AUTHENTIC - the chef himself is from Japan and all ingredients they use are imported straight from Japan. So we've decided to give it a try. Before actually going there, we had to make prior booking so the chef could prepare the ingredients that he need. We arrived at around 6:30pm when the
So I heard this place is pretty good and most importantly, AUTHENTIC - the chef himself is from Japan and all ingredients they use are imported straight from Japan. So we've decided to give it a try.
Before actually going there, we had to make prior booking so the chef could prepare the ingredients that he need. We arrived at around 6:30pm when the place has just opened. There was literally no one there but we like to tranquility and peace they offer - not to mention the whole restaurant looks exactly like the kinda of Omasake restaurant in Japan. In front of each seat, there were one set of plates and all the utensils you need. Everything is served in a form of a set, so no sharing can be, or will be done.
First, there are 2 choices to choose from, the standard menu and the special menu. In this special occasion of my mom's bday, we ordered the special menu (with more sashimi dishes and an urchin rice)
After placing the order, the chef then started preparing for the appetizer: baby squid marinated in Japanese style. Unlike most Japanese restaurants which buys pre-made appetizers, the chef told us it was made by himself. So we literally had a taste of how serious the the chef is about Omakase. After that, we were served with the Japanese steamed egg bowl. The steamed egg was exceedingly smooth and I especially like how they use delicate bowls to steam the egg - gourmet also to the eyes.

Then, here comes the focus of the meal - Sashimi. Unlike what most would expect, the sashimi served in this restaurant were freshly cut right in front of your place, Also, very often, the sashimi is served with a blend of fish to compliment with the different taste and texture of different fish. Take the shrimp sashimi as an example, it was wrapped beautifully into roll shape, and on tip of it is two nice piece of uni that gives the sweetness of the prawn a slight elevation. Other sashimi such as the blue fin tuna was also used to wrap around the shrimp and on top lies a piece of gold foil- extremely delicate gourmet. One very special sashimi we find was the 'tuna uni spoon.' It was a luxury blend of fish - blue fin tuna, uni and white tuna. The chef insisted us eating the spoon at one goal to avoid the separation of taste. Indeed, the richness in the oily fish as well as the sweet smooth urchin does compliment each other in a perfect harmony - something definitely worth losing your table manner a bit (you have to open your mouth quite widely)

Then, the sushi. Before the sushi were served to us, the chef handed over some wet tissue and reminded us to clean our hands. To be honest, we were quite puzzled but we did what we were told anyway. We then understand what that was for when the chef asked us to reach out our hands and placed the freshly made sushi on our palms. We were not advised (and will not be able to since the chef stopped us immediately) to use chopsticks to eat our sushi. The chef explain the right way, and the only way of eating sushi is really to use our hands. This is done so the sushi can hold on to itself and the taste that the chef has carefully executed will not be ruined - all sushi should be eat in one bite. Same goes to the big big Hiroshima oyster sushi - it is really just too big to eat with chopstick and be able to remain it in one. It is also worth noting that ALL ingredients were shipped from Hokkaido just hours ago before everything was served. (that again, explains why we had to reserve before hand)
Before we move on to the soup and the dessert, there is also this luxurious urchin bowl to be served. One just can never have enough urchins. This satisying bowl of prawn and urchins were crazily juicy and fresh that every single bite / scoop of rice contains great amout of urchin (which makes each bite quite extraordinary). I also like how the portion was not exactly too much because we were really quite full at this stage.

Lastly, we were served also with miso soup and honeydew 🍈 to end with. The miso soup was so nicely executed with the fish soup base and the honeydew- its just so CRAZILY GOOOD. It’s from Japan definitely and it’s so very sweet yet not in a saturated manner. A great ending to our wonderful birthday meal.
With this quality of food and service, the price stated is definitely very reasonable❤️❤️Come visit soon!!
