Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru
any restaurant who chooses to serve Japanese food at Liang Court would need alot of gall, there is a steady Japanese community who'd visit the place and the restaurants that do well here would certainly have to prove their worth. Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru takes the deepest end of the basement, adjacent to the Meidi-Ya Supermarket that draws scores of Japanese based in Singapore daily. their fish are imported from Numazu fishing port in Shizuoka, Tokyo and they pride themselves for delivering fresh and authentic sushi to the masses.
the interior houses a conveyor belt sushi bar, with individual tables by the sides as well. the restaurant serves more than 80 types of sushi and for good quality Japanese food, the menu is reasonably priced. you should expect a queue for dinners especially on fridays and weekends as they have developed a strong following since it gained popularity from 2012. we got fairly good value for money with this Sashimi Mori platter, with 5 types of sashimi served with lemon and wasabi on the side. it was pretty good, but i guess with the "imported directly from Japan" reputation to carry, must say that we've tasted fresher and sweeter seafood. then again, at the affordable price-range, this dish would do well to satisfy the general sashimi craving that comes up. in any case, the Bara Chirashi Don (sashimi cubes with Japanese rice) was alot better, with a generous serving of sashimi to top it off. we also tried some of their deep fried dishes off the ala carte menu. this Madako Karaage or deep fried octopus was surprisingly addictive. i'd have hated any octopus dish if it was rubbery in texture and difficult to bite through, but this one was fried well and would become a fast-moving snack to dip with the mayonnaise that was given. if there's another opportunity to come back, we would like to try the Kyoto-style grilled mackerel, which was another independent dish that was popular amongst the locals there. for those who'd just come for side dishes and sashimi, there are also some good carbs that can go well with them. we had the Tsukimi Udon, which comes with raw egg dropped on top of our noodles. the Udon is thin based, abit like ramen, which was a term that i later learnt that some Japanese food purists refused to adopt (since ramen comes from a Chinese word). so to pure Japanese, thin noodles can also be called Udon. with the egg topping and seaweed, the noodles made good accompaniment to the other dishes we had.. in all, Ikeikemaru is able to address the Japanese and local palette without burning a hole in your pocket. certainly not high end Japanese dining but good value for money quality that would leave you satisfied. with beers, sake and sochu on offer as well, this is one place where a whole group can enjoy a hearty and complete meal.
