Mr Toh and I are always on the look out for places with good quality Japanese food .We were recently treated to some fresh and pretty authentic offerings at a friendly cosy izakaya in the heart of CBD. Not only do they serve decent food, they also have a wide range of sake. One of the owners of this izakaya, Luis, is a double certified SSI International Kikisake-Shi (國際唎酒師) and SSA Certified Sake Sommelier. If you are a sake fan, be sure to find out more from him !
Shukuu Izakaya
Interior
Warm dim lights and elements of a Japanese居酒屋 fills the entire restaurant.. It gave us a welcoming effect.
Don't be deceived by this sight for all the tables were
filled by the time we started eating
Wall is lined with sake bottles
The staff will gladly pair some sake to go along with your food.
The food selection
We had some small bites to start the night rolling
Bottom right : Gyu Ponzu ($7) –Lightly seared fillet beef with ponzu
Thou beef is very tender, I find that ponzu sauce and
meat combi isn't quite up my alley.. Left : Reba Shoyuzuke ($6) – Marinated chicken liver in soy sauce
Thumbs up for this ! It's actually the first time I enjoyed chicken liver :)
The liver is well marinated , tender and no weird taste !
I washed it down with some sake :D
Top right :Shirasu Ponzu Capsicum ($6) – Whitebait with diced capsicum in ponzu sauce
Light and slightly sourish with the ponzu sauce are these diced peppers with whitebait.
I actually thought they were corn kernels.
I actually thought they were corn kernels.
Oyster lovers will enjoy this . Tasty as
it is, I find it slightly on the pricey side.
Kaki no Sakamushi ($12) – Sake-cooked oysters
Can't say no to Salmon Sashimi ($14)
Nice thick cut..
They serve a mean selection of charcoal-grilled skewers
Tsukune – Chicken meatball ($4.50)
is our hands down favorite of the night
More Japanese satay here
Tebasaki – Chicken wing ($4)
Kurobuta Tontoro – Iberico pork collar ($5.50)
Shitake mushroom ($3)

Another of our favorites :
Kani Gratin ($7) – Baked crab gratin with mentaiko
