Japanese 🇯🇵

Officially open yesterday, this popular unagi fast food chain serves unagi mains with prices starting from $9.50 only (and even lower for other items) 💸

With over 100+ outlets in Japan and Southeast Asia, this is the first outlet in Singapore. Here’s what we tried!

🌟 Hitsumabushi
A popular dish originating from Nagoya, enjoy this in the different ways: as an unadon, with condiments or with tea/dashi (ochazuke-style). This comes with unagi liver soup 🍵🍶

🎉𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗢🎉
To celebrate their opening, enjoy a ✨FREE✨ onsen egg when dining in from 25 Jan till 28 Feb 2023.

In addition, score 1-for-1 unadon double on 27 Jan (tmr) only! Eligible for first 100 dine-in customers ‼️📢

Grilled over charcoal fire using binchotan charcoal, the unagi is fluffy and aromatic. We liked that short-grained Japanese rice is used and it’s plump and pearly 🍚

Upgrade to a set that comes with your choice of soup/udon/soba and sides for $4. I tried the soba version which comes with crunchy tempura bits. Also stole a mouth of my friend’s udon which is chewier!

You can also choose to have these either hot 🔥 or cold 🥶

From top left (clockwise):

🌟 Unagi Double ($14.50)
We tried the signature item. The unagi is first steamed, then grilled to attain the crispy texture on the outside but still remaining fluffy on the inside! 🫶

🌟 Unagi Tempura Don ($15)
Don’t miss out on the unagi tempura either! Complete with a flowy lava core egg, the unagi tempura retains its tender freshness and is served alongside a variety of battered seafood, meat and vegetables 🍤

For sides, consider that umaki ($3 half size) or the firm chilled tofu.

For sides, we had the uzaku (grilled eel and cucumber in light broth with sweetened vinegar) which is a summer specialty in the Kansai region. Rich and refreshing at the same time!

If you’re a fan of unagi liver, don’t miss out on that here! Personally, not a fan of the gameyness and hence this didn’t appeal to me, though it was well-liked by my dining companion!

Don’t sleep on the sukiyaki set. Ours came with A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef and seafood platter. Each slice of the wagyu beef melted away instantly 🥺 and the natural sweetness from the fresh firm prawn shone through 💕 If you aren’t a fan of beef/seafood, you can also choose to substitute with iberico pork. The generous portions for the sukiyaki set can easily feed 3 eaters.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would recommend the sukiyaki and black codfish!

The highlight of our meal, we opted for the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef and seafood platter. With a melange of mushrooms, vegetables, onions and beancurd, the sukiyaki broth is made with specially blended kelp (kombu) and dried bonito shaving soup and simmered in high heat 🍲

The premium sashimi platter came with thick cuts of fresh kinmedai (snapper), shima-aji (striped jack), kanpachi (amber jack), toro (fatty tuna), hon maguro (bluefin tuna) 🐟

Don’t miss out on the black codfish with miso! We enjoyed the thick cut that melts away in your mouth, couldn’t help reaching for more of this 🫶

Had an enjoyable time at Kyojo Dining. Tried their sashimi, sukiyaki and donburi ✨

For desserts, choose from yuzu, matcha and black sesame flavours (included in the sukiyaki set)🍵 Had mixed opinions on our favourites, but mine is the black sesame ice cream! Nonetheless, the red bean matcha ice cream and yuzu sorbet received some compliments too
