The Japan Rail Cafe has opened in Singapore! In case you are wondering if this is another themed cafe (like Gudetama or Hello Kitty Cafe) with Japan train decor or food made to look like trains, it is not.
🚉
Instead, this cafe, which is the first overseas venture by East Japan Railway Company, is positioned as a one stop solution for Retail Therapy, Japanese-Western Food and Purchase of Rail Passes. (Note: Some rail passes are only available outside Japan. For passes that are also available in Japan, prices here is also be cheaper but subjected to changes according to the daily exchange rate.)

Featured: Kaisen Avocado Don S$18 Nett from @japanrailcafe
🍚🍵
This is a very healthy rice bowl served with ten-grain (multigrain) rice, thinly sliced salmon sashimi seasoned with lemon soy sauce, cooked meaty scallops with gills, avocado, cucumber cubes and ikura.
🍚🍵
There are 2 ways to eat this, as a donburi or as an ochazuke. The recommended way is to consume half as it is served then pour in the provided soup (choice of original/dashi) into the remaining half to enjoy as an ochazuke. Personally I prefer to eat this as an ochazuke with the original soup.
🍚🍵
As I am one with a lighter palate, this dish pleases me very much. But if you are one who prefer a saltier dish with stronger flavors, I'll advise you to add in the condiments (mentaiko, sesame seeds & seaweed) provided at the side and get the dashi soup instead of the original soup.
