Fresh red snapper, maguro and the amazing otoro stored in an authentic Japanese ice box (behind the chef),
the very first time I've seen one in used ^^ |
 |
though the clams looks impressive, the most eye catching item here to me is still the marble-like otoro,
impeccable beauty with an amazing taste indeed ;) |
 |
| a closer look at the undeniably delicious otoro, gosh that beautiful marbling~ b^^d |
 |
while most Japanese restaurants are using powdered form of wasabi as real wasabi can be a little tricky to find,
here @ HANAYA the wasabi is prepared by fresh-ground wasabi root just to ensure
a fine quality sushi experience b^^d |
 |
| Steamed Dish: Steamed Alfonsino |
Drenched in the perfect pink hue with mouthwatering marbling of otoro or a mesmerising indulgence in the tender juicy charcoal grilled premier Akita Wagyu, dine at HANAYA is one luxury experience a Japanese food lovers should not miss. Though the menu might varies as certain dishes are subject to availability, a fine selection of the best imported seasonal ingredients with visually appealing presentation and equally outstanding taste is to be expected, for that a huge thumbs up for the newly emerged sister restaurant of Ten Japanese Fine Dining b^^d
