It took all of, oh I dunno, two weeks before I was back at @nomiyasg. This time, we were going to conquer the menu and conquer it we did, along with two whole bottles of sake. Yes, my wallet’s still on fire, and my bank account has spontaneously collapsed into a black hole. Please stop asking.⠀

When it comes to appetisers at Nomiya, you’d be hard pressed to find a better choice than the Fugu Mirin Boshi ($12 before additional 10% service charge). It’s dried seasoned pufferfish, but it’s not lethal. It tastes a lot like the lot dried fish fillet jerky snacks we all loved as kids, albeit sweeter with a deeper, pleasantly fishy flavour. The texture, on the other hand, is reminiscent of bak kwa and has a thoroughly addictive bite & chew to it. It’s pure perfection to nibble on as you guzzle down the dizzying array of sakes on offer.⠀
