Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant

WHY GO

This casual Japanese restaurant boasts some inventive fusion drawcards to pique diners' interest amidst an extensive parade of fail-safe options.

TATLER TIPS

Essential Japanese eats are adequately covered, but adventurous diners will also find some esoteric gems tucked away in the extensive menu.

Fine examples include Japanese-style tapas such as sliced tako tossed in a salty-herbaceous ume and perilla dressing and deep-fried stingray fin. Sashimi and sushi selection ranges from the ubiquitous to the seasonal, so should budget permit, the sky’s the limit. Unless you are partial to creamy dressing, be forewarned the house maki roll creations like unagi crispy roll tend to come with lashings of it. Best stick to classics like inari and nigiri sushi topped with plump sweet shrimp or your choice of fish.
