This eatery (with two restaurants situated within 5 minutes' walk) frequented by Japanese customers (indicating its authenticity) was the venue we (except the M.I.A. one) chose to bid farewell to our comrade and colleague. The assorted sashimi was fabulous; the fact that every kind of raw fish was followed by a specific matching sauce was a manifest of their professionalism. The mackerel was light in flavour but had a slightly dry and sweet aftertaste. The needle fish and snapper were both sprin
This eatery (with two restaurants situated within 5 minutes' walk) frequented by Japanese customers (indicating its authenticity) was the venue we (except the M.I.A. one) chose to bid farewell to our comrade and colleague.
The assorted sashimi was fabulous; the fact that every kind of raw fish was followed by a specific matching sauce was a manifest of their professionalism. The mackerel was light in flavour but had a slightly dry and sweet aftertaste. The needle fish and snapper were both springy and supple. The rich full-bodied flavour of the yellowtail trumped the first three.
The grilled giant scallop wrapped in crisp seaweed should be eaten at once while hot - the succulence and slightly firm texture was heavenly. The eel was certainly charcoal grilled - it retained the heavy aroma only disguised by plum sauce - and it was a bit too tough, almost rubbery. The cod was also disappointing; I couldn't imagine how they managed to roast/grill such an oil-laden fish to something dry like firewood. But these were the only two dishes that failed our expectations.
The assorted sushi was so commendable that we ordered a second round. The miniature cucumber and tuna rolls were commonplace but fresh. The sea urchin reminded us of caviar (stale sea urchin stinks of rotting fish!) and you could taste the freshness from every bite. The tuna sushi was almost like red meat with a faint hint of fat - you felt like you were actually savouring swimming fishes. The salmon roe tasted of brine, the mackerel and shrimp sushi were of normal standards and the tamago sushi was a shade too heavy on the sugar.
The tempura - deep fried in oil as it was - was not a bit greasy and even the serving paper was not much blotted with oil. All the foodstuff tasted original with their natural flavours encased within the crisp batter. The oden of bamboo shoots and beancurd was a homely dish and the soup broth had entered into the ingredients after prolonged simmering.
All in all, an excellent dinner to bid farewell to our dear friend. Upon your return your welcome reception would be here - your favourite restaurant - and the full bright moon that night illustrated the famous poetry quote: 但愿人长久，千里共婵娟！
