Judging by the bombastic shop name and quirky inferior featuring pink and blue floodlights, pictures of sea monsters depicted in Japanese's ukiyo e style, orange chairs and Astro Boy figurines, one can guess that this place offers something different. And the difference lies in the truffle-infused Japanese rice and the wide selection of toppings available.
Each grain of the starchy rice has a pearl-like sheen, indicating that it is quality Japanese rice well-cooked. And with a bit of truffle oil added, chopped mushrooms, tobiko and furikake, which is a kind of Japanese seasoning of seaweed, sesame, bonito powder, mixed in, we have a bowl of wholesome, flavourful rice that can be eaten on its own. I recommend to add on the rice since this restaurant is pretty generous with the raw fishes, so need more rice to go with them.
There is a great variety of rice bowls available for choosing, from the very value-for-money $10.90 Salmon to the $22.90 decadent Uni Negitoro Ikura. I like the great number of choices, and I go for the somewhat value-for-money and somewhat sumptuous option of King Kong Chirashi—well, being a fan of negitoro, I cannot resist choosing this. Quite a lot of ingredients, such as negitoro, ikura, aburi otoro, wakame, pickles and jellyfish, are added on top of the truffle-infused rice. The negitoro is pretty good, with no hint of the fishy smell, and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the otoro is accentuated by contrasting texture of its seared surface. The other ingredients are nice, flavourful additions to the rice bowl.
As for the Assorted Fish Chirashi, I like it that raw, plump scallops are added to it and the price is pretty reasonable.
If I am looking for a fuss-free, quick, wholesome meal, this place definitely comes to my mind.
Note: The photos of the rice bowls have a nice but distracting blue tint due to the lighting there.
My Thoughts: Think I'm going to visit this place often!
