On weekdays, it's always packed because of the high-quality Hiroshima oysters

I personally love eating at Japanese izakayas
Because they have a bit of everything
Oysters, sashimi, tempura, skewers, grilled dishes
Plus, you can chat with friends
The atmosphere and environment are comfortable
This time I came to this place opposite Hopewell Centre
Even on a Monday, it was so packed 🥶
I noticed the staff communicate in Japanese among themselves

🔸 Iron Box Grilled Hiroshima Oysters $240/6 pcs
Freshly steamed Hiroshima oysters on order
This was my main reason for coming this time 🤣
The oysters are very fresh, plump, and juicy, delicious

🔸 Mentaiko Tempura $98
This type of tempura is quite rare outside
Whole mentaiko lightly fried
Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with a subtle fresh mentaiko flavor

🔸 Tochio Fried Tofu $78
Tochio is a type of Japanese tofu
The tofu surface is topped with lots of whitebait
The tofu is soft and chewy when bitten
Combined with the whitebait, the flavor is quite interesting

🔸 Nagoya Charcoal Grilled Chicken $168
Almost every table orders this
Watching the chef grill chicken pieces over charcoal
It tastes very fragrant with a smoky charcoal flavor
The chicken meat is tender and smooth
Remember to dip it in the spicy sauce for extra flavor

🔸 Marinated Firefly Squid $48
I personally like firefly squid
It tastes salty
The firefly squid bursts with juice and is chewy

🔸 Oyster Chicken Wings $68
Oysters stuffed inside the chicken wings
The chicken wing skin is very juicy
Every bite has meat and a big oyster

🔸 Bonito Salad $118
Bonito has less fat and a refreshing taste
Fresh bonito slices are usually served with a sour sauce
Which enhances the flavor

🔸 Shishamo with Roe $128
Grilled using a robata style
The surface is grilled to a golden color
The fish meat remains tender and smooth

🔸 Minced Chicken $38
Whenever I go to an izakaya, I order this
The egg yolk is pierced
The egg juice is mixed over the chicken meat
Every bite has the aroma of egg along with the meat
