Through the fourth floor into a Japanese garden...
Past some waterfalls and ponds and pretty koi...
and into the tatami room.
The charming tea set-looking thingies waited patiently with us...
while a lady dressed in a pleasant green kimono politely knelt down and served us green tea...
The first delight of the day: bite-size starters
From right: The white onion had none of the pungent displeasures of your regular onion and it went very well with the red savoury bean paste thingie; the petals were actually some sort of beans that were beautifully dressed up; the eggy stuff was plain and yet had the nice lemony feel coz of the lemon slice that was hiding beneath the egg; some parsley; extremely well flavoured fish. Light in feel and yet bursting with flavour... it's savoury... had some sorta teriyaki sauce or bbq sauce or some kinda nice sauce to spice it up... and there's this crispy layer on top... yum.
Then there was the mouth-watering sashimi!!!!
It was absolutely fresh n delicious!!! The sashimi was so well sliced and so fresh that you can look through them when you hold the slices against the light! And the prawns were the best of the lot! Loved them! Oishiiiiiii!
Mouth-watering sashimi was gone... but the decor still looked as lovely as ever...
And then there was the tempura... light and crispy on the outside, firm and fresh on the inside! And the shitake mushroom was big and juicy and crispy all at the same time!
SuShi! Need I say more?? Oishiiiiiiiii....
Here's some udon for you visual pleasure... and it's really the best I've ever had! Especially the soup! One sip and you know it is the real thing! There wasn't a hint of oil and the fish-cake looking thing is nothing like those fish-cakes you taste out side! It's not even the fishball kind of texture! It's firm yet spongey... and delicious!
Here's some cold soba for you too... The soba's well-chilled on top of all the ice... and the sauce is nothing like soy-sauce (We've been misled by those soy-sauce tasting soba sauces!) It's light, and the sasame seeds bring out the flavour!
To top it all of, we ate green tea ice-cream! Refreshing, not too sweet and none of the bittersweet tea flavour was lost! It's too delightful and I was already done with spooning the ice-cream into my mouth before I realised that I forgot its photoshoot.
These wonderful food came at an astronomical price... and gave absolute gastronomical satisfaction!
