Quite Nice Lunch @ Hokkaido Izakaya at Japan Food Town Wisma on 27Jul2016

hokkaido wagyu don

hokkaido wagyu don – S$19

went with wife to taka to run some errands on 27.7.2016.

we walked over to wisma. japan food town is on level 4.

we looked around the different shops for their lunch fares & promos & decided on hokkaido izakaya.

wife took the special kaisen don set & i took the hokkaido wagyu don set. ^^

anyway we shared the food, as usual. 🙂

the beef don was pretty good. wagyu may not be top grade or cut, not like the ohmi wagyu at hachi or miyazaki wagyu at mikuni. it was sliced very thinly & was tender, and the taste of the don was quite good standard for S$19 lunch set. i liked this.

special kaisen don – S$28

there were no prior food photos. special kaisen don was nothing like the tsukiji market.

sashimi very fresh. there was a dash of uni…salmon belly was good quality & ama ebi sweet & nice. tai & maguro (tuna) ok. ikura nice. the don (sushi rice) was nice too.

i was not too much impressed with the chirashi don. it was quite ok. it was not like expensive, but also not best value either.

the recent chirashi don set i had at sun with moon was S$33.80, no uni but got chutoro, & came with a substantial side dish, a pork nabe. i would say the chirashi don at sun with moon was maybe better quality & better value.

overall, lunch was quite good standard la, though not that cheap…
