Over the years, many Japanese eateries have come and gone but there are a few that are steadfastly serving their unique dishes, regardless of trends.
Along the row of more snazzy looking restaurants at Far East Square is Botan Japanese Restaurant. They've been in business for eighteen years and very little has changed. Up till today, they still have an entire section in the menu devoted to their in-house made tofu, while the set meals they offer remain popular with many who work in the area. The Negitoro Don, pictured above, is one of the latter.
From what I recall, this is available only on the days they receive shipment of the tuna, and maybe if you're lucky, the following day as well.
Over a bed of Japanese rice, hand-minced raw maguro, tobiko and scallions are spread, and then graced with a beaming moon of yolk. Once broken and mixed in, the raw egg coats everything in silkiness. You can choose to smoothen things further by adding the somewhat slimy yam that's provided on the side. I personally love their sesame sauce and tend to splash it on, flooding my bowl with its supreme fragrance.
