"$129 is affordable meh," come the cynical cries from the ones who perhaps had tucked into less expensive omakase dinners before.
Woah, easy on the haterade there and hear us out.
First up, dishes at Kyuu By Shunsui is prepared by the Michelin-anointed hands of Head Chef Issey Araki, who formerly flexed his culinary muscles at one Michelin Starred restaurant Akasaka Tantei in Tokyo, Japan.
With grilled delights at its heart, the sashimi and robatayaki restaurant uses ingredients that are as fresh as they can get; seafood produce is flown directly from the now-defunct Tsukigi Fish Market on Tuesdays and Fridays. Plus, the portions are generous enough to leave you stuffed at the end of the meal.
A cup runneth over with salmon roe – another quintessential Japanese dish to expect from the restaurant. To the chants of ‘yoisho, yoisho’, the on-duty chef will pile ikura balls on Hokkaido rice until you say stop. We held back the command to the point the chef had given up and moved on to the next diner. You get to choose the size of your rice – small, medium or large.
The meal ends with homemade Matcha ice cream.
