| Write up | My foodie friend Xue had taken me here before one evening and it was amazing so had to revisit again.The uni (sea urchin) pasta was a memorable dish so had to order that again. Incredibly rich and smooth texture of the uni and the egg yolk coated the cold pasta. A lovely fragrant toasted sesame and a very delicate freshly grated wasabi could have been a car crash combo but added a lift in different dimensions.
One dish I wasn’t so sure about when it was ordered was the cheese tofu. Then out came gelatinous off white coloured dish topped with what looked like a soy sauce and flaked garlic with a side of sliced baguette. After seeing my friends dive into it like it was going out of fashion quick i followed suit and what a surprise. It had the wonderful silky smooth texture of tofu for sure, but tasted like creme caramel with an ever such slight hint of cheese. The soy was in fact a caramel sauce and the garlic was in fact sliced almonds. More of a dessert than a main, but delightful nevertheless. By the time I realised what I was enjoying I looked to see the plate empty and my friends looking in various directions as if it had nothing to do with them. The soup gyoza was warm and comforting. Still prefer the fried ones though The avocado chicken and parmesan was nice rich and salty hit The anchovy potato was the closes thing I’ve had to 1. roast potatoes and 2 proper bacon. Not too heavy on the anchovy paste but a good dollop’s worth to coat a side or two Spinich, mushroom and onsen tomago (half boiled egg) salad was a yummy irony hit. Every salad should have an onsen tomago! Sake here was pretty tasty. No idea which one it was though.
