I bookmarked Iseya Robatayaki a while ago, glad I finally got around to
dining here. And finally!! I popped in on a Saturday night at Iseya. This place
has seriously luxurious interior with with Japanese flair to it. Every detail
matters to get aesthetic pleasure from the surrounding environment during a
meal. This high-end restaurant has a nice spacious area too.
Now on to the food. I had 3
appetizer, Sukiyaki, and of course dessert and here’s the food review :
Zensai
I started off with some small
dishes named Zensai for appetizer. It contained of Salmon, Unagi, and Tempura. I
will explain one by one. Salmon was fresh, Unagi seasoned perfectly, and
Tempura was a lil bit crispy, not overly-breaded and had the perfect amount of
sauce, with a great flavor. I strongly recommend this menu for starter.
Chawan Mushi
If you are a Japanese cuisine lover,
you must know Chawan Mushi (or Steamed Egg Custard). Go get this and you won't
regret. So do I, at Iseya I had Chawan Mushi. It was so tasteful and delicate.
It melted in your mouth. Also there were bits of seafood inside which gave me a
nice surprise. So good.
Salmon Saikyo Yaki
I have to say though, Salmon
Saikyo Yaki really blew me away. Salmon Saikyo Yaki was a grilled Salmon that
was cooked in a special sake miso sauce (or called saikyo sauce). The fish
itself is fatty, which makes the meat extremely soft. I also loved the marinade
that was used on the salmon. I simply like it and I want more.
Sukiyaki
The highlight was Sukiyaki. And
everything was fresh, the vegetables, meat and mushroom. The wagyu was tender
and tasty, bursting with juicy flavour through my taste buds. My favourite
thing's the staff cooked Sukiyaki in front of the visitor so it was fun to
watch. You certainly didn't disappoint with this one.
Dessert
Then I bit into my dessert. It
was just so good. The dessert was a cake with fruits like Kiwi, Strawberry, and
Sunkist. So, there are many colors on the plate that make it pretty. The cake
was fluffy and not too sweet. And most important thing was the cake had exactly
the right amount of bite without being too heavy after ate Sukiyaki.
So as this short of a review
comes to a close, I'll leave you with this. Iseya Sukiyaki’s a hidden gem.
Pricey, but a gem nevertheless. I enjoyed everything that arrived on my table.
Nonetheless, I thought the service seemed slow, but chef Junya Takeoka from
Sapporo, Jepang was friendly to customer and helpfull to all staffs. Personally,
it was a fun night, my stomach was happy and full.
