Rengaya

Excuse me but can someone remind me where we are? I thought we had already left Japan? That's right, the snapshot above is from Rengaya in North Sydney. Rengaya has been Australia's first and finest Japanese BBQ restaurant in Australia since 1993. They use only the best Japanese Black Cattle and the freshest seafood to prepare their dishes for you. You know when eating at Rengaya, only the best will make it to your plate!

Busshari

Busshari is only a short walk away from Kings Cross station in the heart of Potts Point. Busshari repesents the essense of Japanese cuisine. The decor is dark, ambient (making it so romantic) and has that 'upper class Japanese' feel.We were welcomed with warmth and friendliness and our experience was definitely a memorable and enjoyable one.

Kujin

KUJIN is located in the heart of Elizabeth Bay and specialises in Izakaya style Teppanyaki and home made noodles. It homes a romantic atmosphere that could make the most tense of people relaxed - if you sit at the Teppanyaki bar, you might also be entertained.

Manpuku Chatswood

Since I have a craving for fish based soup since my encounter with one in Japan landing it as my favourite ramen. A friend of mine told me mapuku have something similar so I went to check it out. Since I was on my way to Chatswood and there was a branch there so I went to check it out. In the end I end up getting their special with a very long name(reminds me of jap light novels!) この出会い感謝して愛情と情熱込めて一生懸命作ったうちらのいっちゃん好きな満腹幸せラメン Anyway.. Yeah, cool name As usual to my habit after eating ramen in Japan, I asked for some extra vegi topping which we have cabbages here. After getting the ramen, it have a pretty good smell of aroma, pretty chuck the vegis I ordered, add a bit of chilli on top and いただきます Let's break it all down Soup - the best about the ramen was the soup. After adding some chilli to it to draw out the taste more, it was explosive but light. It is pork and chicken based so I would expect it to be a bit light and while I was right, the taste was definitely there and keep on hitting me while I eat. It was kind of a light medium weight ramen but I still kind of end up sweating a bit ( I don't usually sweat) I can't eat chilli so there wasn't that much anyway.. The taste was there but a personal preference was its a bit plain for my taste buds though but that's ok, it's a taste that most others enjoys Noodle - the noodle was wavy noodle and quite soft, not a personal taste but it's pretty good. It was able to soak up a decent amount of the soup with it. Some of the opinion do get biased by personal taste so I would still give the noodle a good mark Topping - doesn't come with much topping originally like other ramen places in Australia that's why I got my extra cabbages. The pork was nice but a bit small, nothing too special but all the topping was able to synergise with the whole ramen so I was pretty happy about it The ramen was definitely very nice and while it was too light/plain for a personal taste, it is definitely a good ramen for most of the ramen lovers. I think I will try out the other ramen I miss out another day.

Maedaya Sake and Grill

Recommended by washoku lover, came for dinner, very izakaya style food, now enabled with iPad ordering. Food is authentic for Melbourne. Staff was welcoming however with the iPad now lacking the human touch :P really like the pork belly and quail egg pork roll. Japanese tea is free. One biggest disappointment, rice is not Japanese short grain rice but Australian medium grain rice. Also I really liked the 一期一会 ichigoichie printed on the napkin. The Japanese philosophy of seize the time, maybe is perfect for this occasion
