I’ve been to cheaper and quality joints in Makati.Next, it’s a fusion Japanese restaurant and it doesn’t pull off the concept well food-wise. It’s too experimental that it misses out on the simple, but classic, Japanese foodstuff people are so used to. Their sake was pretty good though, so much so that my Dad bought an entire bottle and kept it there in case we’d come back. Sadly that hasn’t happened yet.The ambiance – though – was pretty great. It reflected the meld of past and present with tiled floors mixed with shades of brown on the ceilings and walls. Various Nippon furniture hung on the walls for that unique post-modern Japanese vibe. But that’s pretty much it. Sigh.

I was expecting a full house but there were still a few tables left vacant when we arrived I love that they welcomed me by first name. It made me feel like a regular customer. It took us quite some time to decide on what to order as there were a lot to choose from. I noticed that they even have...read more

I think this explains the prices (if you're comparing just the absolute value). You will find it's great value for money We always order: Chicken Karaage 5 hefty pieces of chicken. Tasty and crisp and perfect with steamed rice. Cheese Risotto deadly good. They portion this smaller (a small bowl) but for good reason since it's quite rich. You will find the portion plenty. One order can probably feed two comfortably. Spicy Tuna Maki yeah I know not so exciting but you have to have this classic when you come here New things we tried: tuna cheese okonomiyaki portion is so...read more
