March 22nd, 2025: Friday night was an 8 Course Omakase…read moreDinner ($58/person) for my friends and I. Immediately I ordered a Takasago Plum ($12). It's a Japanese plum/apricot infused with junmai sake from Ishikawa, Japan. It smelled like whiskey, but I throughly loved it. It was sweet and fruity, a great drink to sip on. Now into the 8 courses: 1st course - Agebitashi: We thought we'd be getting eggplant, but think it was zucchini. Either way, it was soaked in what tasted like light dash and soy sauce based broth. We really liked this. 2nd course: Japanese sweet potato tempura with maple ginger cheese sauce and almond slices. It tasted really good, not greasy at all. True Japanese style tempura. 3rd course: Two slices of Atlantic salmon sashimi and two slices of yellow fin tuna sashimi. We were impressed with the light flavour, wasn't super fishy tasting at all. 4th course - Kaijiru: Claim miso soup with Asari Manila clams. Very flavourful. 5th course: Their signature grilled Yakitori skewers. One was chicken, one was cherry tomatoes and the other was pork belly. The pork belly was melt in your mouth, one of our favourites. 6th course: Aburi Salmon rolls with cream cheese. It was fire-tourced in-front of us. These were bigger than expected, we were getting full by this part. 7th course: Half size tonkotsu ramen. It was topped with a chain pork slice, half egg, bamboo and nori seaweed. This was my favourite. The depth of flavour in this bowl is astounding. I also whole heartedly love warm, marinated eggs. 8th course: Hand made vanilla icecream. Good finish to the night. We were very full by the end and were happy for a light finish. All of us were left extremely happy. Service was great and attentive. All in all, took us just over 2hrs for everything. We were very full by the end of it. I highly recommend this dinner if you love Japanese food. March 28th, 2025: Today I wanted to try the Rising Sun Pop-Up Ramen in Tipsy Samurai ! They're open week day lunch hours. It was a genuine Japanese experience! Very similar to Ichiran's solo dining experience in Japan. In this case, you don't have to come solo. On my paper, I got a 20oz ($11), with Star Premium Tonkotsu Pork Broth. I added on roasted garlic oil ($1.5), 2 pieces of pork with a marinated egg ($4), buttered corn ($1), Naruto fish cakes ($1), and green onion ($1). Totalling $19.50 before tax. I really enjoyed it! It's a fun way to experience ramen, have a quick lunch and it tasted good. My only suggestion is that they also make a block for noodle texture. My noodles were firm, when I would have liked medium or soft noodles. But, I will write this down next time either way. Also! They don't accept tips! This is a huge reflection of Japanese culture. It's very much a serve yourself experience. You literally just sit down, fill out your form, give your form to the bar, grab your own water and sit down. They only bring you your food, check on you once and clean up after you. If you decide to tip, the tips go to charity.
