Restaurant Occupied 1\/4 of the Floor"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"izakaya-nijumaru-cuppage-plaza\"Cuppage Plaza<\/b> is good for two things: sleazy pubs and authentic Japanese restaurants. There are 6 Japanese restaurants here: Kaiho Sushi Restaurant<\/a>, Kazu Sumiyaki Restaurant<\/a>, Keria Japanese Restaurant, Izakaya Naniwa, Shinjuku Restaurant, and Izakaya Nijumaru<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru-singapore\"Since Izakaya Nijumaru occupies a quarter of the entire second storey, and it was packed on the Sunday night we were there, we entered with assurance, thinking its rental space amounts to good \u00a0food.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru-review\"The menu is rather intimidating, thick as a children’s book. Many items are listed in Japanese like ika<\/i> or hotate<\/i>. Luckily I’ve been to enough Japanese restaurants to pick up sufficient Japanese nomenclature, but this menu is definitely not friendly to Jap food noobs.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru-sg\"Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes, I was not impressed by their food. It’s okay good, but it’s not great.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru-menu\"The assorted sashimi <\/b>($42) is expensive, with about 15 slices of fish. And they are limp, not chewy. The golden deep-fried crust of\u00a0agedashi tofu <\/b>separates easily, and does not add any flavors to the tofu. The buta kakuni <\/b>(braised pork) is competent, very tender and flavorful.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru-somerset\"We also had a few sticks of yakitori, bbq meat on sticks: chicken teriyaki, chicken balls, <\/b>too bitter mushrooms, <\/b>and too dry chicken liver. <\/b>They aren’t very good at yakitori items.<\/p>\n

\"izakaya-nijumaru\"The Japanese porridge <\/b>looks bland but is surprisingly robust. A flavorful dashi stock, tinged wickedly with ginger.<\/p>\n

Sometimes size matters, but unfortunately, it doesn’t in this case. I don’t understand how Nijumaru could have expanded to occupy 1\/4 of the floor.<\/p>\n

We spent $120 for two persons<\/b>, including a small bottle of sake. \u00a0The mediocre food at this price means I probably will move on to try other 3 restaurants in Cuppage I haven’t tried. Hopefully, they fare better.<\/p>\n
