in tokyo, japan (march’24)

chinese cuisine is one i’m surprisingly super into in japan, given their sensitivity and delicacy of japanese cooking, i slightly prefer it this way compared to hkg, where places tend to be too salty or jam packed full of msg.

one of the ones i’ve been longing to try was wasa, especially know chef is closing his shop soon i knew i had to somehow make my way over. his signature gyozas really surprised me with its thin but crispy, and juicy flavourful filling of pork,... More

chinese cuisine is one i’m surprisingly super into in japan, given their sensitivity and delicacy of japanese cooking, i slightly prefer it this way compared to hkg, where places tend to be too salty or jam packed full of msg.

one of the ones i’ve been longing to try was wasa, especially know chef is closing his shop soon i knew i had to somehow make my way over. his signature gyozas really surprised me with its thin but crispy, and juicy flavourful filling of pork, chicken and veg respectively. also really enjoyed his bifun (cold vermicelli) with homemade karasumi and ‘bou-bou’ chicken, fukahire duo was also extremely delicious, first came as a fried version in broth, before the bubbling version of dried scallop broth, rice and some more fukahire. first couple spoons were a bit overpowering with shaoxing wine flavour but it slowly mellows out, especially after it was poured in with the bubbling broth. harumaki and stir fry was a tad on the oily side, but the fried rice was one of the best i’ve tried, full of wokhey and very ‘dry’. mapo tofu also seriously packs a punch and so flavourful, tantan mian came in a massive portion and was a bit too sweet for me. ended with one of the best annin-tofus i’ve had (almond tofu), so soft silky and not at all powerful with artificial almond flavour which i’m afraid of.

overall a really really good meal, thank you yoshoku king h-san for inviting me along to your precious reservation.

A few places have their own renditions of this first dish but somehow this place has gotten it essentially perfect. Add that magical mapo tofu, and I basically have the ideal breakfast + lunch combo 😄 dishes are quite authentic in flavour in general with the exception of just one or two, although the fukahire was a little bit too doughy for me (as it tends to be in jp), as chefs tend to starch it up to give it a nice coating.

Wasa わさ 1st visit — highly rated Japanese style Chinese cuisine, got all your must have dishes: mouthwatering chicken, dimplings, spring rolls, fukahire and mapo tofu, all well executed. Dumplings were juicy and tasty, white soup fukahire was thick and collagen loaded, mapo tofu with noodles was very satisfying. Good wine service and nice Shaoxing wine selection. •
