we ordered the S$68pax lunch omakase & the S$88pax ohmi wagyu omakase.
#1 we had a very good amuse bouche of tofu toped with ikura & yuzu jelly.
#2 next we had a sensai (前菜) dish = tofu, sweet black beans, tasty egg plant, some vegetables & nice barley miso.
#3 a sashimi platter of shim aji, tai & hamachi followed. they were sweet & fresh, but not comparable with the sashimi in the superb kuriya lunch kaiseki we had on 16.11.2013.
my wife took the lunch omakase.
#4 a tasty miso flavourful & intense was served, with chicken & kochi.
#5 then came a large oyster sashimi (S$12 ala carte). this was similar to what we had for the dinner omakase & it was very good. :-)
#6 next was tempura, good quality batter, and #7 the gohan set.
for my ohmi wavy omakase, i had-
#4 ohmi wagyu tataki. it was good, very sweet & tasty.
#5 i liked the shabu ohmi wagyu as well. its like the korean bulgogi or gyudon sliced beef but good quality & w/o the overpowering teriyaki sauce.
#6 there was also the grilled ohmi wagyu steak. the wagyu was not very marbled, but still very enjoyable & my wife preferred less marbled wagyu.
#7 the gohan set had wagyu tips, small chopped pieces. a very nice rice indeed. i though maybe i could try this dish at home actually to complete a good meal.
#8 we had the black sesame ice cream – must say i was getting tired of this or the macha ice cream & would have preferred yuzu flavour instead.
