The Menu:
Here’s a closer look at some of the dishes I tried:
Honeycomb Platter:
Super playful appetizer features a variety of small bites that include chili garlic edamame, lobster and chashu salad, and shrimp tempura. The platter is not only delicious but also a great way to sample several flavors in one go.
Yakitori Platter:
This dish brings together expertly grilled skewers of chicken, beef, pork belly, and scallops. The meats are tender and flavorful.
YinYang Bowl:
For ramen lovers, the YinYang Bowl is a must-try. This dish offers a double portion of ramen, loaded with toppings like pork, shrimp tempura, scallops, and bamboo shoots. The broth is rich and satisfying, providing that quintessential ramen experience of sweet, tangy, spicy and buzzzzzzz!
Seafood Kamameshi:
A unique twist on traditional Japanese rice dishes, this kamameshi features a flavorful mix of shrimp, scallops, eel, and sushi rice. The dish is cooked in an iron pot, which gives the rice a delightful crispy texture with a slight seafood taste.
Dessert -
Matcha Pudding:
For dessert, I tried the Matcha Pudding. While matcha isn't typically my favorite, this dessert is a hit among many diners. Its creamy texture and rich flavor make it a satisfying end to the meal. I found it unique in aesthetic. I did try a bite and it did give me earthy very powder like texture.
