An interesting Japanese place which is located in the heart of the Korean BBQ populated district of Solaris Mont Kiara.. I was quite surprised to come across this place in between the rows of shops which is located just opposite of Villa Ju bakery.. From the exterior, it looks rather plain with a huge sign mentioning it's name but the moment we stepped into the eatery; it just felt like you're being transported into the land of the rising sun with the service staff being dressed in the traditional costumes that makes you feel like wanting to wear their kimono! After the famous style of loud cheering and welcome greeting by the friendly people, we were then ushered into the table which just strikes me into sitting on the furniture of wooden palates.. The menu of it is quite interesting yet direct as it was filled with pictures, prices and names of it in English and not to forget that they have a small menu which features their specials! For this small menu; it's advisable to get the recommendation or translation of it if you're exactly familiar with the Japanese name of ingredients! Well after much studying of their menu, we ordered quite a sumptuous array of dishes from the grilled oyster, grilled butter squid and the main attraction is their chicken sashimi!!! It was actually the main reason that we came to try out as it's a quite unique dish not to be found anywhere in kl yet.. There are a few version of eating the chicken sashimi but we've chosen the chicken sashimi with ponzu dressing.. At first was rather skeptical about it, because chicken was never considered to be a protein to be prepared in the sashimi style but we are being open to it and adventurous about food.. The presentation of it is really simple yet beautiful to look at.. In terms of taste wise; it just surprised is in so many levels as the perspective of the usual smell and taste of the chicken wasn't there but it taste quite close to eating a salmon sashimi and it wasn't chewy as the ponzu dressing brought out the citrusy element of it that made it rather refreshing and pleasant to eat on its own with some chopped ginger.. It's really good that we have cleaned up that bowl first! A must try dish in Ittan Izakaya
