Equally good for lunch and dinner

This is one of my favourite restaurants, and it's been around for more than 10 years. The meats are grilled in full view of the patrons but they leave the place still smelling fresh.

For lunch they have bento sets which come with kushiyaki, salad, rice covered in minced pork, mushrooms and seaweed, miso soup and mochi in red bean paste. The meats were tender with a tinge of salt on the surface, but the rice with mince is still my favourite part of the meal (it's been like that since I was a child). You can also order other kushiyaki a la carte, and I adore the plump and juicy scallops we once had. (Edit: Read more in the subsequent post above)

I popped by for dinner recently and this is what you get for the $40 set I ordered - 12 sticks of kushiyaki (as shown in the photos, aside from meatballs and grilled chicken with leeks), rice, salad, miso soup and dessert. I wasn't a fan of the beef as it was a bit flavourless but I enjoyed the gingko nuts, the plump chicken liver, the juicy prawn and the smoky-tasting chicken wings. I dislike okra but manage to eat this bacon-wrapped version. The pork rolls and chicken with leeks are served with the lunchtime bento.

Dinner was a lovely experience, and I'm glad I got to try it once, but due to the constraints of my wallet, I'll return just for lunch.

I'm a
muppet!
 
The best meal in my life was at
Fazer's in Helsinki - nice hot soup buffet on a winter's day and all the chocolate you could ever want!
 
I drink only
water, and anything that tastes good (JW, coffee, teabags and Carlsberg can sod off)
 
I'm allergic to
MSG and bullshit
 
When I'm not eating I'm
raving about KT Tunstall, perving Amy Macdonald and designing stuff.
