Tatsuya's Bento Sets..

Tatsuya Revisited: I started with the Omakase which killed me cause it costs $120 for 8 pieces of Aburi sushi. It is sushi that is broiled over a flame.. and added with sauces and garnishing that includes exquisite items like Foie Gras and sauces.

Its served with the signature Tatsuya Tamago which is sweet, also with radish and sweet potato. The line-up: Otoro (Tuna Belly), Salmon, Scallop and Shrimp! Amazingly, the shrimp stuck the greatest impression of the four!
BENTO SETS:

First up is the Unajyu Sashimi Bento ($30++).
It comes with slices of grilled unagi on a bed of rice with seaweed. Accompanied by assorted tempura and 6 thick slices of Sashimi, chawanmushi and miso soup. The tempura was well-battered and fried, resulting in a light tempura.

The Sashimi is fresh, no doubt. Coming from Tsukiji, one can expect the standards to be high. And it doesnt disappoint, the tuna, yellowtail and salmon were indeed fresh.

Ladies Lunch ($28)

This set consists of Fried Kakiage, Assorted Sushi selection, potato salad, and handmade cold noodles served with quail egg.

The cold noodles were exquisite. They were smooth and downed with the sauce that was thickened by the quail egg. Special mention for the california maki. The roe was so fresh that it just burst in the mouth with each bite!

The Kakiage was novel and crunchy. and the sushi was light enough. This is the perfect lunch for office ladies. Just enough and not too much so that they wont fall asleep after lunch!

The Sashimi Bento ($30)

The key difference in this is that the rice here is vinegared and is certainly one of the best sushi rice I have tasted. With a generous amount of Sashimi, this bento set is certainly worth it!

Buta Kakuni ($18)

This dish is quite a dampener! It didnt live up to what I had expected. But then again, its also not one of the specials! It was rather tough and I felt it wasnt well braised and simmered enough..

All in all, Tatsuya is a class above all Japanese restaurants in S'pore and understandably charges a premium for its food. Its been a real privilege to have savoured the food here.
