The restaurant was located at the middle of a row of shophouses, with Raffles Place and Clark Quay as the nearest MRT station. The dining in area was quite small for indoor, just 2 tables which could seat 6 people each, and the counter table which could seat about another 6 people. Besides here, one could also dine outside by the river. It was quite cooling and romantic with soft lighting around.We started the meal with a glass of Kirin ($10/ 270ml).

The restaurant was located at the middle of a row of shophouses, with Raffles Place and Clark Quay as the nearest MRT station. The dining in area was quite small for indoor, just 2 tables which could seat 6 people each, and the counter table which could seat about another 6 people. Besides here, one could also dine outside by the river. It was quite cooling and romantic with soft lighting around.
We started the meal with a glass of Kirin ($10/ 270ml). It was cool and refreshing.The first dish served to us was the appetizer platter, which had 4 appetizers - Garden Salad, Oitashi, Truffle Edamame, and Sardine NAMBAN DUKE.
Garden SaladLight and crunchy with soyu dressing.
Oitashi ($6)Boiled green leaves seasoned with broth.
The soft greens was crunchy and soaked up the flavours from the broth.
Truffle Edamame ($5.50)Boiled soy beans flavoured with truffles
It was crunchy inside but did not see any truffle nor tasted any.
Sardine NAMBAN DUKE ($5.50)Deep fried and marinated baby sardine style escabeche.
Quite different from the usual sardine's taste. I thought it was smelt fish from the first look.
Singapore Roll ($13 small (4 pieces) / $23 medium (8 pieces)Wrapped with crab, avocados, tomatoes, and seasoned with chilli flakes.
Sashimi Combination of the Day ($35/ 3 kinds)
We were also served salmon sushi and swordfish sushi.
The raw fish was quite fresh, but that was a bit too rice for me.
DASHI-MAKI Eggs ($12)Japanese omelette
The egg roll was topped with grated radish seasoned with soyu and small white fish.
Interesting and simple dish.
A4 Wagyu Sukiyaki (Limited Price $29)$10 for every 100grams of extra beef, $5 for extra sukiyaki vegetables.
The beef used here came from Hokkaido. It was very tender with very nice marbling on the meat. The vegetables was stewed till soft and flavourful.
We enjoyed the beef with Dassai's Sparkling Nigori sake ($10/ cup, $90/bottle).
Next we had Assorted Tempura ($20/ pax, $33/ 2-3pax)There was corn, eggplant, pumpkin, mushroom, prawn and white fish. Served with tempura salt. Interesting method of eating. I felt the tempura was bit too oily. Maybe the one I had was at the bottom of the pile.
For dessert, we were served watermelon slices so prettily.
