I love it when I randomly discover
a good restaurant. It makes me feel that I deserve a Dora the Explorer
badge or something. Anyway, I felt that two weeks ago when I discovered
Nihonkai Tsukiji.
Hello, Nihonkai Tsukiji.
The place isn’t something that you
would instantly notice as the signage of this Japanese
restaurant is quite discreet.
Upon entering, I noticed the notable attentiveness
of the crew. They instantly handed the menu and one Japanese guy (I’m assuming
is the owner) pulled a chair for me to put my bag on.
We ordered Salmon
Aburi (PHP85/piece), Salmon Sashimi
(PHP340), Makunochi Bento (PHP400)
and Tempura
Moriawase (PHP380).
First served was the salmon
aburi and it was great! The cut was generous and the salmon
was fresh. R really liked it and wanted to cancel the salmon sashimi for more
of the aburi
but the chef already prepared the salmon sashimi.
The salmon
sashimi was served next and it was pretty good too. Again, they used fresh
salmon.
