After shopping at the outlet, it was almost time for dinner. I was hungry, so I checked in at Tomato Japanese Steakhouse on the first floor of the duty-free shop for dinner. It was surprisingly good.
This is a very authentic old Japanese restaurant run by Japanese people. It is located in an alley in Chinatown. It has only six or seven tables and has a very izakaya-like feel. The pricing is also very affordable. It’s the first time I’ve seen a cup of Genmaicha priced at 1.5 knives. Other Japanese restaurants charge 2.5+, which is basically a dozen knives for a main dish. Generally speaking, the taste is a bit salty, but it’s still very tasty. "Japanese taste". In fact, it is difficult to describe what the "Japanese taste" is. It is actually kombu bonito flake dashi, mirin mirin red and white miso, or maybe the egg liquid poured into the pot before serving. The bubbles look like overcooked eggs, or the rare squid in tempura and the grated daikon mixed in the tempura dipping sauce create the Japanese taste of a "family shop". · The more recommended one is the miso eggplant, the meat is very soft and glutinous, and the seasoning is also very friendly~ · The かつhotpot is also quite good. Although it is a little salty, this one is particularly "Japanese". It contains tofu, fried pork cutlets, Chinese cabbage, eggs, vermicelli, and a bowl of rice. It is the best way to warm your stomach in winter~ · The pickled kelp will be a bit sour; the eel sushi is not great but is relatively cold; the onions in the Teppanyaki beef are still raw, and the beef itself is so-so; the tempura platter only has shrimp and green peppers, but it is ok, and the batter The seasoning is a bit heavy handed, but the fried tempura is not very crispy and the batter is still a little wet.
