The entrance of Syun has the layout of a Japanese wooden cottage, which is very scenic. So things are looking promising right from the get-go. The moment one steps into the restaurant, one will be greeted with the sight of the chefs displaying their skills behind the counter. The interior setting is more of a combination of rustic and elegant styles due to the dark wooden furniture and pillars.
The salad served with the set lunch is good—the second time I give such comment to the accompanying salad to Japanese set lunch. The yuzu dressing not only gives the kick to the dish, its aroma soaks into the raw vegetables so that they carry the flavour instead of being bland leaves glazed with oil and seasoning.
The chirashi sushi set is an aesthetically pleasing dish where multitude of warm colours of the cubes of fishes is given the spring treatment with the scattering of flower petals over the sashimi. The flowers add that sweet, mild flora fragrance into the overall taste. The fishes are fresh though they are kind of moist on the surface, which can be improved on. After the meal here and the chirashi I had at Kuroson, I feel that I am not into chirashi, so I cannot be raving about this dish. The comparison I can made between the chirashi of these two places is that Syun has the dimension in taste while Kuroson has the variety.
The sake brewed from flower yeast is exceptional: smooth and sweet, with hints of floral aroma. A must order.
I wish I can say more about Syun since the place looks to be potential. However, as I had only tried the chirashi that did not impress me a lot, I can only add more on the second visit.
