Edo Ichi

WHY GO

With its extensive menu and sleek, modern interior, Edo Ichi takes contemporary Japanese cuisine to new heights.

WHAT TO ORDER

A treasure trove of esoteric gems such as kawahagi mirin boshi (sweetish grilled semi-dried filefish) and oroshi sanshu moriawase (chopped tuna, grated radish and spring onion with sea urchin) beckons in the guise of tapasu (Japanesestyle tapas).

Delve into the huge menu of sushi and sashimi and you’ll discover distinct house specialities such as kaki toban miso yaki (deliciously plump baked oysters with miso and shimeji mushroom), chanko konabe (hot pot of seafood, beancurd, greens and assorted mushroom in shoyu-based stock) and skewers of grilled meat, meatballs, seafood and vegetable.

Familiar crowd-pleasers range from fresh sashimi (raw fish slices) to sushi moriawase (hand-pressed vinegared rice balls with seasonal seafood) while favourites like chawan mushi and tempura moriawase leave no room for complaints.

Besides matcha ice-cream, try the Edo Ichi tempura mochi (chewy deep-fried cubes of mochi in tempura batter) for a delightful closure to your meal.
