Ambience
Place looks great, lighting/layout/ is 'correct'.
The table top is laminate, though the colour 'looks right'
it's not the Hinoki wood you'd see in 'authentic jap places.
Starters:
Taste superb, light, flavourful, refreshing, one veg based,
another is some prawn/lobster shredded dish. both great
Sashimi
Very good,just a tad 'dry'
Ikura/toro/uni bowl
Excellent flavours, the 'toro minced' portion however, tasted very gamey, intestine like. I flagged to Chef, he says it's the uni. I tasted the uni,and it's quite murasaki but the banyard? taste was obvious, he says it's 'correct' to taste like that. in my opinion, it's pretty off, almost sewer like or something. Wenhui cldn't take more than a pea size and wanted to spit out. Of cos i was the champ and took all of her share. This was the low point of the dinner.
Sushi:
Mostly good, pacing, sequence. Generally i find the rice/meats on the dry side.
Soup:
Miso/small clamps. a bit overpowering,don't quite like the combi of the miso/clamps.
Fruits:
Great sweet melons.umami.
Overall:
Great value for the price. I asked a question: JYD or Isojiman. He said Iso, which confirmed my hypothesis, his food was more linear/straight, not bombastic not try to wow you with fancy flaming/sauces/condiments.
