issho izakaya (Great World)

Not cheap but nice!

Our selection of the kushiyaki- bacon tomato ($3.80++), buta negi ($4++) and tsukune ($3.50++)
Opting for less salt was a good choice as we get to taste the ingredients better!

Nicely grilled and melt in your mouth! Thumbs up!

The kushiyaki / skewers here are the saving grace - most, if not all, were pretty good, and I would be glad to order them again.
.
Although there is a short waiting time of about 15 minutes or so, the skewers are well executed and delicious.
.
Priced slightly higher though, so ordering a few of these will inflate the bill.

This is beautifully done, with a pancake of crisp cabbage, fluffy egg, soft wheat flour batter, and juicy oysters, all packed and pan-fried till the exterior is crisp and the interior is juicy.

The juicy tobiko / flying fish roe lends a satisfying contrasting crunch to texture.

Carries bold vegetal spicy sweet salty briny flavour, sharp with a good kick.
