Enjoyed my meal! The tempura was very crunchy and satisfying, with the ingredients still maintaining their juiciness. It wasn’t very heavy until the end. The soba was a good complement as it was light. Their portions are generous, and there was a wide variety of ingredients: enoki, long beans, sweet potato, seaweed, shiitake & chicken fillet. Would come back again!
Came back to try level 3 spiciness of the dish. I did not taste any spiciness anyway, so I guess this dish is not spicy at all, sadly:( What I love about the tempura is that it is not overly crispy and there are a worthy amount of the veggie and chicken there (as compared to those with a lot of batter and little actual food). The chicken is really well spiced too, but it may taste a bit too salty for those who do not like salty food. The soba was well-cooked and the broth is not overly umami nor fishy which I like.

In frame:
• Soba with chicken tempura [$13.9 excluding GST and service charge, $16.35 after]
The portion given was really sufficient and the set meal for $3 is worth it with their chawanmushi and miso soup.
The chicken was crispy with egg and rice. $10.90++
The Japanese Fried Rice starts from $10.90.
Chahan is typically served as a ‘side dish’ as part of an extensive menu at many Japanese restaurants here, so great to find this item taking centre stage.
Kogane Yama’s Hokkaido-style ramen features springy noodles with fried cabbage in miso soup enriched with pork bones.
Typically you would find loads of bean sprouts in Sapporo / Hokkaido ramens, but their take includes fried cabbage instead.
The vegetables (and then broth) fried under high heat, imparts that touch of smokiness, ’wok-hei’, and natural-sweetness.

The batter comprises of Japanese tempura flour and fish seasoning, then deep-fried in soybean and sesame oil.
I noted that the batter was crisper and lighter than before, and learnt that the recipe has been further fine-tuned recently.
The eggy chilli crab sauce is then poured over for a luscious finish. As a little suggestion, I thought that a spicier tentsuyu sauce would have made this more shiok.

Kogane Yama's chirashi don ($15.80 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond) comes in an amazing portion, as well as a great sashimi:rice ratio. Each bowl comes with salmon and tuna cuts, as well as prawns and scallops. All seafood prepared are really fresh, and I love it how I can enjoy the bowl even without putting any sauce. Definitely back again for more!
Good combi of ingredients, all cooked to a good texture, and not too oily!
Great value with Burpple Beyond 👍🏼
Came here for the Burpple 1for1 deal. Mixed tendon bowl with choice of rice or ramen ($ 13.80 each) is not bad but still prefer Kohaku’s. Value for money with Burpple Beyond👌🏼
