Ambience

A brand NEW Japanese family-style restaurant at Amoy Street. A cosy, spacious and contemporary interior with a capacity of 80. It is ideal for family gatherings and dinner with friends and loved ones. I love that it has a ‘live’ sushi bar as we get to witness the chefs at “work”. Slicing the sashimi and rolling the sushi~

Food

Nabemono (Hotpot) – with A4 Wagyu – S$68++ per person
I had Sukiyaki soup base. The Wagyu is so fresh! It also has a beautiful fat marbling! Aww love the melt-in-your-mouth texture! Perfect. The soup is on a slightly saltier side. The vegetables and mushrooms were very fresh.

Special Maki – S$13.80
Salmon Cheese Roll (Salmon, Cucumber and Cream Cheese Roll) topped with Cheese and Sliced Salmon. Love how the cheese complement well with the delicate flavours from salmon.

Oden – S$22.80
Oden is a Japanese Fish Cake Stew. A comforting dish with clear broth. Their ingredients are very fresh and quite generous. I like that there are a lot of vegetables. Very refreshing. They served it with Inaniwa Udon.

TEM Chirashi Udon – S$16.80
TEM Chirashi Udon (Cold Thin Inaniwa Udon with Assorted Tempura – Scallop, Cherry Tomato, Mushroom, Avocado, Capsicum). They are specialised in Inaniwa udon. This cream coloured udon is hand-stretched and is slightly thinner than regular udon, yet thicker than sōmen, or hiyamugi noodles. They use repeated hand-kneading technique which helps it to achieve its thin,smooth and delicate texture. Love how the crispy and flavourful Tempura gives another level of texture. It is also the first time I tried Avocado Tempura. Crispy on the outside. Creamy inside. Simply Delicious! It is a great sharing dish too.
