Here I am return again at this humble little Japanese spot tucked inside the Damai Plaza, returning for their monthly lunch set offerings.

Today, I went for the Harabire Set—salmon fin kuwayaki, Ika squid karaage, a fresh garden salad with their housemade dressing, gohan and miso soup.

The place was packed with diners chasing the same monthly set, so I ended up at the sushi bar. No complaints there; it suited a solo lunch perfectly.

The salmon fin was pure indulgence. The fatty layer turned silky, buttery, and melting the moment it hit the tongue while the skin crisped up with a beautiful crackle.

If anything, it was the teriyaki glaze though, it leaned too sweet for my taste bud, anyhow the texture of the salmon’s fins itself made up for it.

The squid karaage delivered a solid contrast - tender inside, crispy outside, and lifted the whole bite with just a touch of lemon. Simple and clean.

A satisfying return, and definitely the kind of set that keeps people filling the room month after month. Looking forward for my next dine.

Kthxbye.
