Japanese Dining Adventures

Good value at $29! 4 pieces of crab.

A must-try for radish lovers on Kyuu's ala carte menu. Juicy and flavourful, the radish is (possibly marinated and) stewed, then fried karaage style. Unique and delicious!!! Very very very good - the best $8 you will ever spend on radish!

Tender morsels of juicy prawn kakiage served over a bowl of freshly steamed rice...

Japanese red bell pepper is in season (autumn) and served with the Nadeshiko Tempura Omasake course ($80).

Sweet and smokey taste. Tempura-style really enhances the sweetness of the pepper.

Egg plant, red bell peppers, sweet potato, lotus root, ladies fingers... faultlessly fried!

Anago (saltwater eel) tempura is one of the highlights of the Sakura Tempura Omakase course ($60). The contrast of the juicy, meaty eel to the crispy batter is what makes this dish so memorably delicious.

Oishi! The batter was done just right - light, crispy, and remarkably greaseless. It formed the perfect crust, enveloping the sweet juicy shrimp.

This was finely crafted in taste and textures. Creamy uni is stuffed into a large sweet scallop and wrapped carefully with seaweed, then lightly fried to seal in the rich flavours.

Appetiser of choice for truffle lovers - Sea bream sashimi with black truffle & seasoned kelp.

Surprisingly good hybrid dessert that will please even the most jaded amongst us who are "so over" the baked chocolate soufflé trend from a few years (or a decade) back.

To break it down - this is half cake + half souffle with a soft moist center that makes the texture very interesting (will not spoil it for you, try it for yourself!).

Also, it's not too sweet and the roasted peanuts give an added depth in terms of flavour. Served with homemade vanilla ice-cream so you get another kick out of the interplay between hot and cold with each bite.

If soufflés can be personified, Boruto's version would be described is "light and flirty". You'll probably order it again the next time you visit...

A clear winner and "must try" at this Japanese tapas bar for $15+.

Black olives, chili, Japanese leek, and wasabi yuzu dressing are a powerful combination that enhances the natural umami flavour of the seared tuna slices.
