Aburi Hokkaido Mukimi Hotate
Poached Masu with Smoked Apple Woods Chips
Slow Cooked French Meltique Beef
Wild Mushroom Soup with Cheese Dumpling
Our next soup course was a comforting bowl of mushroom soup with a Japanese twist. I could barely taste the flavour of the mushroom but the broth was strongly infused with saltiness from the miso, a bit overwhelming for my liking. The cheese dumplings were great nonetheless for a cheese lover like me!

Wow! They are 13 years old today and that was the year I first dined there when they newly opened. It was before the renovated ambiance which you just saw. I like their service, decor and food very much! The boss certainly maintained well since he embarked into his dreams. I should visit this place soon.
I would recommend this place for reasonably priced high quality Japanese food 🙂
Everything looks good…the kaiseki courses must be quite pricey since no price is mentioned! 😀
EWEW, the Kaiseki meal is RM230 & above, depends on your budget. You just need to inform your budget to the chef and he will prepare the meal accordingly 🙂
I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’ve never heard of this place. It serves such wonderful food too. I’m intrigued by the blue lobster dish. Everything looks so high quality and it has more courses than the overpriced and underwhelming Nobu KL omakase. I’ll be sure to drop by one day. RM 230 is on the high side but it’s cheaper than Nobu and the 2 year old ex-Tokyo Michelin chef place (the name escapes me now but it’s RM 400 per pax IIRC).
I’ve tried their normal ala carte and set meal too, the quality and taste was fabulous as well.
