Went to Akashi last week and ordered a Gyu Teriyaki ($18) and the beef was soooo soft and tender😍 Overall ratings 10/10 as food was amazing, service was great, and would definitely try other items on the menu the next time i'm there!😇
Simple dishes executed well - a reliable spot. Not mind blowing but you know you can’t go wrong.
Not the most value for money/ cheapest (pricier side for what you get), but for me it’s the comfort that makes me come back.
Turning my dreams to a reality. First saw this on Snapchat and the coldness of the butter really just melts from the heat of the Unagi as you eat this ☺️☺️☺️ also photographed at the back is the Chef Ken (right) who made this for us that day!
The most delightful biscuit filled with sashimi, caviar and butter. The biscuit is crisp enough for it to have a bite but is not too tough either. I call it having a bite size atas biscuit ☺️☺️
Al dente, subtly earthy matcha soba in light yet full-bodied dashi broth with smoked duck and bouquet of spring onion to add depth to an otherwise "plain" soup. Ok, that's all.
The sweetness of the crabmeat is exceptionally pronounced in this zōsui, and the sliced spring onion rings help enhance it further. Days when you feel that no matter what you do Kim Kardashian is still alive, you can drown yourself in this. Ok, that's all.
The dashi broth has such an intense umami that benefited greatly from the natural sweetness of the Chinese cabbage and mushroom used. The seaweed's slight crunch is always a delight especially when it acts as the Thelma to the soft and slightly chewy udon's Louise. Simplicity at its best. Ok, that's all.
You get that subtle vinegary aroma from the sushi rice, the slight umami of the deep-fried soft-shelled crustacean, and that earthiness from the toasted sesame seed. The rice's soft yet firm fluffiness works really well to counter the crab's crisp exterior, and then complements its soft meat. And then you have that inimitable creamy richness of the avocado chunks ensconced between the rice and crab. Ok, that's all.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind pay $$$ for good food but the food quality here is inconsistent and over priced. Does not make top tier sushi bar for sure. The only things worth eating are ebi tempura maki , hamachi kama , kani porridge . Notice how everything is cooked. I don't truth their raw fish here. Once had a toro and it tasted fishy. Belch*
These thinly sliced, perfectly seared kurobuta were so heavenly, it was sheer joy eating them. The slightly earthy goma sauce was equally joyous. That sole green chilli had a great crunch and smokiness. Happiness can be bought for $15. Ok, that's all.
This one of thin udon-like noodles with fork-tender braised pork belly in a light miso broth is the most comforting thing ever.
Smooth creamy uni with sweet crunchy prawn - a match made in foodies' heaven!
Akashi - my favourite restaurant for steak 🐄🥩 cooked Japanese-style!

The teriyaki marination here is slightly sweet and the beef, being well-marbled, is always very tender and succulent. Highly recommend that it be cooked medium (medium rare is a little too "bloody" for my liking 😅). The set is served with cabbage salad, Japanese rice, miso soup, pickles and watermelon, and is overall very satisfying. Great for one of those special TGIF meals.

A friend commented before that the quality at Akashi is not always very consistent, but I "argued" that the company that we dine with also affects our overall experience too. Who else agrees with me? 🙋♀️
