Chirashi ($25++)

Not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. Like the fact that it came with watermelon (albeit an extremely small portion) and miso soup. Overheard the next table saying that their sister outlet, Manzoku, serves larger portions, but I'd say the portions here are already great at such a price point especially given its location in posh boat quay.

Now, I like to use the Ikura as a test for freshness. Sadly to say, it was somewhat almost salty, an indication that it lacks freshness. As for the other fishes, I'd say that it isn't the freshest either. The Akami for example, was more pink than red. Judging from the other photos, perhaps I had gone on the wrong day.

For $25, you do get your money's worth though. It seems as though quantity exceeds the quality, but it may have been due to my high expectations from raving reviews. Manage your expectations and I'm confident you would be more than happy to part with $25 for this bowl of chirashi goodness.

Tip: if you are a massive fan of salmon, ask for them to swap the rest to salmon, and you will be rewarded with a vulgar amount of it (not that anyone would be complaining of course)
