The food is much like the bright neon interior, it’s loud, it’s in your face, and subtlety is not the name of the game here.

I got a great deal off Burpple Beyond here, which gave me TWO SETS of Mentai Hokkaido Oysters, Torched Hokkaido Scallops, and the Wagyu Sukiyaki Gyudon (but I requested for an upgrade, which the owner so kindly agreed to, hehe) for $59! What a steal.
.
I was given the chance to upgrade my Wagyu Sukiyaki Gyudon to the Truffle Wagyu Beef Bowl (22.90) and of course, I went for it. The heavy scent of truffle and smoke instantly hits you once the bowl arrives. It’s almost like a warning sign of the intense savoriness that would be coming in the very first bite. The wobbly, supple beef slices melted away effortlessly, while the fluffy bed of rice became a melting pot of beef fat, egg yolk, tobiko, and truffle oil. Almost made me want to lick the bowl clean.
.
The oysters and scallops were both really fresh, and I liked that the scallops were served cold, while the torched mentaiko was warm. It gave a nice contrast of temperatures that was really addictive. The oysters were plump, juicy, clear and just slightly salty. Drizzle it with a bit of ponzu sauce, and it makes for a bite-sized citrusy rush of ocean flavour.
.
Of course I couldn’t resist ordering the Foie Gras and Ikura ($9.90), which is honestly pretty cheap for what they gave. Two chunks of glazed and torched foie gras, yuzu shavings, an onsen egg, and a spoonful of ikura. Unfortunately it wasn’t my favourite, I felt the foie gras was a tad overcooked and dry, and the little ikura globules didn’t have the popping saltiness that I enjoy from it.
.
If you’re going to come, do consider using the Burpple Beyond set, it’s really value for money, and you still get a choice of half a pint of Asahi, or red/white wine! The staff are also really friendly and helpful, which made for a really pleasant experience.
