If you ask me whether this restaurant was worth the effort, I d say yes. In fact, I would return to this resto again during my next visit, despite its hefty price ($35++ for an unagi set). The unagi itself was very fresh, as they freshly butchered the eels and grilled them right on their open kitchen. Another plus point, fresh wasabi was included in the set. It was my first time grating fresh wasabi and it wasn t as easy as most people thought ahahaha! The taste of fresh wasabi was mild, refreshing and very aromatic, unlike the wasabi paste at normal sushi restaurants which were unpleasantly spicy and slightly bitter. There are three ways to savor your dish. First, eat as it is (rice + unagi). Second, rice + unagi + eel broth. It was my favorite way as I like everything soupy and the flavorful broth further enhanced the taste of grilled unagi. Last but not least, (fresh wasabi + nori + scallion + soy sauce) + rice + unagi. This was probably most people s favorite, as the wasabi mixture really brightened and freshened up the dish. Overall, we queued and paid with no regrets!
