Since this was a "business dinner" of sorts, we decided on taking things slow, avoiding the sets seeing how this places turns out. We started off with appetisers (puffer fish and vinegared seafood) and most of the rest consisted of sushi, noodles, prawn teppanyaki and egg.

marinated pufferfish
This was the marinated pufferfish. I was actually thinking fugu sashimi, but I guess they don't serve that here. Tasted just like the one at Beppu, which meant, fish ba kwa. Well, I'll know never to order these things again.

assorted seafood

octopus
The above were described as vinegared dishes in the menu. I am assuming that they're in the way of appetizers. They all came in really dainty portions. The assorted seafood also didn't contain much in the way of assortment. What we basically got were octopus slices, scallop and a prawn. It was however pretty good and fresh tasting. The octopus wasn't chewy at all and the taste permeated from the first bite. Even though it was vinegared and with lemon, one could still taste the natural flavours of the meat which felt really fresh. The scallop was lightly seared but was actually raw inside. Some effort has been made with presentation.

Californian maki rolls vs. a solo Mr uni sushi
From the name of the restaurant, I was thinking that there could be something special about their sushi here. It's freshly made for one and from $8 and upwards. The uni sushi standing alone up there was a mouthful of $18. Ouch! But hell it was good. The uni was smooth, creamy and light. Something that I didn't get enough of, but at $18, I needed to exercise restrain. The Californian maki rolls tasted a lot better than what I was expecting. I could feel the ebi roe burst in my mouth which was nice.

Prawn Tempura
The prawn tempura wasn't really exciting, but it was pretty well made stuff. It was also a little expensive for what they charged for 5 pieces.

Dashimaki tamago
Their Dashimaki tamago is probably the most expensive fried egg I've eaten. Ever.

Wheat noodles. Uninteresting stuff.

Wow $183 for portions that I could finish alone sounds mad!
Well, small portions do make the receipt look bigger. Just like small potatoes make the steak. LOL.
Ya I guess so. $183 was for how many pax?
2 persons. The portions of most of the dishes were petite.
Wow I rather pay $70 more and eat Kobe Beef at Keyaki lol :p
Looks like if you'd wanna go for authentic fugu sashimi, there's no better place than in Japan.
Haven't dared to try fugu sashimi when I was there since its like playing Russian Roulette.
Is fugu sashimi still that risky? Sounds like it shouldn't be something I should try. lol
