Suju in May

Suju Masayuki, Takashimaya

Inadvertently, we found ourselves back at Suju ( 十一十二十三十四十五十六十七十八十九二十). The dishes on their menu appears to rotate these days. Not a bad thing that.

Suju Masayuki, uni crostini

We've been wanting to try their uni crostini since we first noticed it at this branch. It's aosa tempura topped with uni and there's caviar (don't know what kind) and shaved miso foie gras.

Couldn't taste the caviar and miso foie gras. But the uni and fried seaweed was nice. Beware, not cheap!

Suju Masayuki, corn tempura

Sweet corn tempura.

Suju Masayuki, herring himono

Never noticed that they had grilled herring before. This was much better than I imagined. The fish was good quality and the meat was moist.

The bonus was the fish roe that was in the pregnant herring.

What's that you say? Fish roe!

Fish bloody roe! Look at the amount in one fish. And hell yeah it was delicious! 👍🏼

Suju Masayuki, pork chop hoba yaki

Pork chop hoba yaki. Miso marinated and baked in banana leaf with leeks and shiitake. Nice miso flavour in the relatively tender slices of pork but it's unfortunately not memorable compared to most of the other things we've had here.

Suju Masayuki, hayashi rice

Today's hayashi rice was nicer than I remembered it. There was a luxuriant creaminess to the sauce of red wine that accompanied an appreciable balance of sweet savoury tanginess. And thinly sliced beef. So good.

Suju Masayuki, matcha tiramisu

The matcha tiramisu's back after disappearing for a while.
