Tonkotsu Ramen
(Made with wheat noodles, pork-based broth flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, topped with lots of sliced pork, bamboo shoots, nori and green onions)
This Tonkutso Ramen tastes
as good as it looks, did you know that most Japanese and Koreans have good
skin (face) because of the hot smoking soup that acts as a facial steamer.
Another good reason to eat Ramen more often!
There's also Shoyu, Miso and Chasu Ramen with prices that ranges from P190.00 - P240.00. Not bad for a big bowl of hot Ramen to soothe your dying soul. #hugot
Another favorite is the Bento, with their bestseller the Beef Teppanyaki Bento.
Aside from this, are Ebi Tempura Bento, Tori Katsu,Tonkatsu, Sake Shioyaki and a lot more. A complete meal served with unlimited hot Miso soup. (P230.00- P330.00)

| Miso Soup (P50.00) |

Try their Sashimi, this is a Japanese delicacy consisting of raw fish or meat sliced thinly. You can really taste the freshness of the imported ingredient. I must commend how this dish was professionally done.
 |
| Maguro Sashimi (Tuna loin) |
 |
| Sake Sashimi (salmon) |
 |
| Another serving of Sake Sashimi |
These tempting Sashimis are worth every penny! This seems reasonable enough compared to restaurants in Cebu or Manila without compromising the taste.
(P120.00 - P320.00)
The tempura batter was crunchy and the prawn was tasty. Good thing here unlike in other Jap Resto, you get more prawns and less of the batter.
If you're not much of a Sashimi fan, you might as well try their rice toppings. Gyudon or literally beef bowl are served with fully-flavored sliced Angus beef,onions, simmered soy sauce broth, rice topping. (P240.00)
Or Katsudon,rice toppings with breaded pork cutlet, onions, topped with a soft poached egg. (P240.00)
Up next are the Maki rolls that are way too good!!! I swear!
 |
| Spicy Tuna Maki (P180.00) Sushi roll made of rice,cucumber, tuna loin, hot spices and seaweed. |
I swear, this is to die for! I have tried other Cali Maki but I must admit, this is the best that I have tasted! No ewwy-yucky taste!
Agedashi
Tofu (P180.00) "Lightly deep-fried tofu" cut into
cubes, lightly dusted with potato starch and deep fried until brown, with
special sauce, bonito flakes and spring onions sprinkled on top .Paired with Yaki Soba (P190.00), stir-fried
noodles, mixed vegetables and seaweeds mixed and flavored with yakisoba sauce.
Sukiyaki (P290.00)
Thin beef slices slowly cooked, tofu, rice noodles,mushrooms and alongside assorted vegetables served on a special soup broth in an iron pot. The ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw, beaten eggs after being cooked in the pot, and then eaten.
