Sashimi
The set comprised of salmon, tuna & octopus. As I am not a fan of the latter 2, the restaurant was nice to oblige with a wholly salmon sashimi platter. The cuts were good, near the belly.
Chawanmushi
This was smooth & tasty.
Potato Sarada
A tasty Japanese style potato salad.
Yasai Sarada
A vegetable salad.
Sushi Mori
This comprised of salmon sushi & some makis. I'm glad that they did not serve the Gion Roll, which a reviewer had described as 'bana
na-kiwi-ketchup sushi ', which seems like a 'joke' served in a fine dining japanese restaurant
Deep Fried Ebi
This was coated with bread crumbs. The skill is evident as the coating is crispy & non-oily.
Chicken Cutlet
Tasty, but alittle oily, though.
Saba Misoni
A small piece of saba in miso sauce. Fish is dry.
Grilled Fish
Again, fish is dry.
Zaru soba
2 types of soba. The soba sauce is too diluted.
We were offered a complimentary dish - either tempura prawn or grilled scallop. As there was 4 of us (i.e. 2 sets), we ordered 1 of each.
Ebi Tempura
Well battered, but of course, prawn is scrawny.
Grilled scallop
Not fresh.
Fruit Platter
Comprised of water melon, kiwi & dragon fruit. These come in pairs, so, it means that each diner gets a single piece. Kiwi is unripe, sour with a hard core.
Note that all portions served are for 2, so that means sharing everything except for the chawanmushi, which each of us get an individual serving.
The food did not impress. The saving grace was the fresh salmon sashimi of near belly cut.
