Donburi 🍚

The unagi katsu is grilled and then deep-fried to a nice golden and crispy exterior, served with Japanese rice, truffle mushrooms, seaweed and pickles. It was not too greasy and the meat was juicy. I’m not a fan of katsu hence I prefer the pork belly don more than this 》$12.80

Grilled aburi pork belly with onsen egg, truffle mushrooms, seaweed, pickles and a choice of Japanese rice or salad. The meat was marinated and grilled nicely. The natural oil from the pork belly gives each spoonful a rich and smoky flavour 》$8.80

Tender pork belly char siew with a sweet caramelised crust. The char siew strikes a balance between lean and fatty cuts.

The rice base isn’t exactly prefect but it absorbs the caramelised sauce well enough while the sous vide egg unfortunately lacks the expected runny yolk, slightly missing the mark on delivering that creamy richness.

I also ordered the fried king oyster mushroom but unfortunately, it doesn't quite hit the mark. While the mushroom are naturally juicy and earthy, the batter overwhelms the dish. The coating is excessively thick, muting the delicate, meaty texture and flavour of the mushrooms.

Caramelised Char Siew Don 》$7
Grilled Chicken Don 》$6
Fried King Oyster Mushroom 》$4.50

The miso pork belly bowl comes with homemade pickled cabbage, yakiniku sauce, onsen egg, sesame seed, spring onion and chunky slices of pork belly laid on top. The pork belly was thick and slightly charred to a nice burnt flavour. It was tender and juicy but I couldn’t taste the miso. Dipping it with the yakinuku sauce helps with the flavouring 》$17.90

Torched mentaiko on sliced salmon sashimi, topped with Japanese cucumber tobiko and ikura. The thickness of salmon slices was just right, going hand in hand with the generous amount of creamy and savoury mentaiko mayo.

Go for the ultimate seafood don for a mix of river eel, pan-seared Hokkaido scallops with mentaiko mayo, foie gras, ikura, tobiko, onsen egg and rice served in a hot stone bowl. This is a good choice for those who don't take raw seafood.

The unagi was fresh, well-grilled and coated with a savory-sweet sauce that brings out the eel’s delicate flavour. The scallops were lightly seared with a golden brown exterior with a delicate balance of savory and tender flesh inside. The only downside was probably the texture of the rice which turns out a little too mushy. This is still pretty worth the deal if you have beyond to make use of their 1-for-1 mains that applies to this ultimate seafood donburi 》$48

Thanks Burpple for the invite and Saketoshi for hosting 🙂

Slice of grilled freshwater eel glazed with eel sauce served on a bed of rice, onsen egg, red pickled ginger then topped with nori and white sesame seed. The eel was tender with slightly crisp skin. The addition of onsen egg adds creaminess to the bowl 》$19.90

Salmon, tuna, swordfish, octopus and scallop sashimi topped off with a spoonful of salmon roe on rice. They serve good quality and fresh sashimi at an affordable price. Somewhere to visit if you are hungry for cheap and good chirashi 》$12.90

Salmon slices are flame-seared and slathered in mentaiko mayo sauce before being blow-torched with some fragrant char. The mentaiko mayo gives a creamy mouth-feel which goes well with the soft and melty salmon slices to go with rice 》$11.90

Plump and meaty unagi with sous vide egg sitting on a bed of rice, topped with nori strips and sesame seeds.

The grilled unagi has a very light crisp on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside and glazed nicely with sweet sauce. The portion of grilled eel to rice was good, soft and not too many bones in there which makes it easy to eat. Each set comes with a bowl of miso soup. I felt the portion was just nice for me but may not be enough for an extremely hungry belly.

Salmon and mentaiko are made for each other. The salmon went well with the aburi mentaiko sauce and would appeal more to those who love that creamy mouthfeel.

Each bowl comes with salmon, mentaiko sauce, sushi rice, tobiko, onsen egg and seaweed salad. The tobiko and tempura bits added some crunch to the dish while the salmon cubes were lightly torched with mentaiko sauce and retaining the freshness and melt in the mouth texture. it would be better if the sushi rice was more vinegarish.
