Had the Omakase Course at Shoya for my birthday 🎉 and enjoyed every bit of it. The sashimi was fresh and beautifully presented. The unagi was heavenly, just like the ones I had in Japan (but smaller! 😣 Can’t get enough of unagi!)

Course included: 🦀 Hokkaido Crab Salad and Tuna Tatare Canapé 🐣 Hatching Ocean Egg (basically a chawan-less mushi) 🍣 Assorted Sashimi in Fancy Pants Ice Bowl 🐮 Gyu Tan Anago (ox tongue, unagi and eggplant) 🦀 Hokkaido Crab Tempura 🐮 Wagyu Beef Steak 🍰 Cheesecake, Chocolate cake and Sesame Mousse

I definitely want to come back and try the full unagi kabayaki now that I’ve experienced the quality flavour!

Smoked pea something something pannacotta with poached egg. It’s elaborate but not really my taste! I don’t like salmon… 😅

On a quest to find matcha that can match the quality I had in Japan. Purple Peanuts near Spencer St station did not meet my expectation as it was too sweet but the food was still delish, especially the onigiri mmm!! Yah, I chose mismatched chopsticks. XD

Dream come true!! 😍 Part 2 of photos

It was incredibly hard to choose from the menu. I wanted a full dragoon set to represent my current class, but at the same time pasta didn’t seem filling. (I was tempted to order White Mage’s Eggs Benediction!) I supplemented with fried dodo and ordered 2 desserts, Gold Saucer Parfait and Shiva’s Icicle Impact Cheesecake. Japanese chefs really know how to make amazing creamy desserts~ All their sweets are soooooo good!!

Dream come true!! 😁 Part 1 of photos.

Unfortunately having traveled alone, I was seated at the bar where it had the PCs behind me which took away from the feel. Nevertheless I was able to wander around the small cafe and take snaps of the incredible props, while trying my hardest not to get anyone’s head in the shot…
