in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

have been hearing really good things about this thai japanese fusion restaurant, and since our itinerary had a lot of washoku meals this trip, decided to end on a different note.

love the idea of seasonal japanese ingredients, extenuated with thai spices and flavours, without straying far from either cuisine’s traditional cooking or flavour. favourite dishes tonight were the fried fugu, thai oyster omelette inspired but with kuro awabi, chives and topped with ikura, the omi beef burger patty finished with laab spices was also really enjoyable to eat, the touch of caviar was also a good addition without being too gimmick. the signature fukahire was really nicely done, braised well with a rich suppon based sauce which i found a little starchy but flavour-wise spot on with a dash of black vinegar. also really loved the curry here, served with a pandan infused jasmine rice. we sampled a boar and takenoko green curry and a omi beef with ebi imo masaman curry which was a bit sweet, both i really wish could’ve been spicier. the tuna dish with a thai egg-yolk sauce though nice, didn’t feel like it was needed on the menu, and ended with thai tea, anko pandan mochi and a generous scoop of hojicha and coconut ice cream.

overall a really enjoyable meal, a great break from washoku and overall service, cospa, food were all beyond expectations. a highly recommended spot in tokyo right now which is also very bookable.
