Worth the money

Of all the set lunches i tried ( yoshida, aoki ) , i tink this place offers the best deal for the price. considering that yoshida raised the price to $38

otoshi $3- potato salad.. this is quite good.. i must say i prefer this to yoshida's chilled half boiled egg or aoki's otoshi(which i forget what is it, maybe a pickled vegetable dish or smth like that)

sushi set - 8 pieces of sushi and 2 types of maki.
i tink there were two types of toro sushi.. the toppings are quite fresh i must say. most of the ikura was firm and bursting, but i could taste some that were not so firm and bursting.. the marination of the ikura is quite well balanced, not overly salty.

the tamago is the same type of tamago made in high end sushi restaurants in japan, unlike the folded ones, although it was my first time eating this kind of tamago, i tink the surface was burnt as its texture almost tasted like fishcake, and it was abit less sweet.
i watched japan hr episode on sukiyabashi jiro(now 3 star michelin), and he was tasting one of his disciples tamago and he commented that it was burnt and therefore tasted like fishcake. i tink this was case during my lunch there. making this kind of tamago requires great skill.. usually grated fish/prawn is added into the recipe..

the only gripe with the sushi is that the rice doesnt hold as well as yoshida's one.. skill wise yoshida sushi rice nv falls apart, but the quality of yoshida's toppings may have dropped.

3 alacarte pieces $19
1 salmon sushi($4.50 a piece), 1 anago , 1 kohada.
the kohada maybe slightly less marinated for my tastebuds, i prefer those that are quite vinegary and salty, anago is ok, not drenched with sauce. The reason why i prefer this place to yoshida is because the alacarte prices are reasonable unlike yoshida where 1 pop can cost $10+++

tuna belly soup with leeks and shitake mushroom..
i like this soup very much, the leeks were very sweet and i have my favourite mushrooms. On first sight, the tuna belly looks like a well cooked beef, but it was very tender and "almost melted in my mouth" i dun usually like to use this phrase but it was the case.. i finished everything .

deserts, ribena sorbet.. cool and refreshing way to end the meal.

total damage $100 including tax and gst for two persons.
