FOOD: This restaurant is part of the Nippon Tei group. Though described as fusion (Italian style Japanese), the food here is largely Japanese with a few simple Italian dishes on the menu. The sushi menu features an exotic array of imported meat including red whale meat, horse meat, kobe beef, and Matsuzaka beef. For a fusion touch, try grilled foie gras sushi, or romaine lettuce and cheese salad. For something more traditional, sample sushi roll with chilled wakame seaweed and shrimp roe, or green salad with king crab, avocado and shrimp roe. Rice with chopped prime tuna belly and spring onions is delicious. Since this eatery specialises in grilled dishes, charcoal-grilled cod fish with saikyo white bean paste should be sampled. The Japanese desserts are very good. Worth trying are hot sweet red bean soup with rice cake, and crushed ice with mango and mango syrup. The set lunch is extremely good value for money and highly recommended.
