Sake No Hana

It was quite random but Bin Bin and I decided that we haven't had Japanese food in a while, so we decided to splurge a bit... we went to Sake No Hana, which is one of Alan Yau's venture... this guy is just famous here in London and could do no wrong... every place that he has opened was such a hit...

This is the Japanese version of Hakkasan, and with a price to match as well... although no Michelin star yet... but we only went because there was a top table promotion which gave us 30% off (well, usual is 40% off but on Friday dinner, it's only 30%...)

And I must say that he lived up to his billing, it was probably one of the best Jap food that I had in a while... The tuna and salmon sashimi was absolutely fantastic... you know it's good when they just melt into your mouth...

Their special hand rolls were really yummy... not many Jap place in London does hand rolls and when they do, it's often uninspiring as it will just be the normal california or prawn tempura roll... I just love those hand rolls with a twist and especially those with eel... hehehe...

We also had the miso cod... it was interesting... it's not what I expected and definitely not like the Nobu miso cod... but it was still delicious...

Since we loved the sashimi so much, we went for second helping, this time we tried the yellow tail and fatty tuna instead...

It was really so good and with the top table offer, it's definitely worth trying out... without the offer, it might be a bit too pricey for me.... so fingers cross that the offer will stay...

One thing though, we didn't really like the waitress who served us... the whole time, she had this really black face on and didn't seem to like us that much... perhaps we don't look too rich... bleh... and we were a bit upset to overhear her telling the table next to us that today's special was wagyu beef at the end of our meal... and throughout the whole time, she didn't even mention it to us!!!! Grrrrrrrr.....
