Being a common delicacy in Japanese cuisine, I’ve always thought that freshwater EELs are available all year round but I’ve now come to learn that it is often eaten during the hot summers in Japan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It is hence of no wonder that new on Ichiban Boshi’s Natsu (Summer) menu is Unagi Seiromushi ($18.90++). 😍

Featuring steamed teriyaki sushi rice with BBQ eel 🤤🤤🤤, a pot of hot water continues keep the rice steaming warm in the wooden box atop 🔥, bringing with it some traditional vibes.

Accompanied by crunchy cubes of fresh prawn 🦐, aromatic eggs 🍳, vibrant cherry tomatoes 🍅, some Japanese greens 🥬 & a sprinkle of fragrant sesame seeds, this was a worthy upgrade of their usual unagi don (which I’ve always liked). 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Served with a side of miso soup, this ought to remain on @shokutsuten’s menu for a longer time!💯

Fish gozen with vegetables, tanghoon and tofu in it.. was flavourful even without the chilli padi and garlic that you are supposed to eat with.

Udon portion is big and I didn't finish.

Chawanmushi was smooth and tasty. Best thing!

Comes also with mandarin orange salad and sushi with mushrooms and fish roe.

$24.90++ for the entire set.

Ordered two sets and two sides. Never had I ever had such tasteless rice (I could only taste the kimchi) lol and the scallops also tasteless? However the cereal chicken karage is good and my friend enjoyed her soup. I won’t come back again because not worth it.

Not worth it. Teriyaki sauce was overly salty and the chicken had more fat than meat. Dont bother!

The Ika Meshi shrank dramatically in size when I revisited it yesterday. It was too salty and nothing to shout about. Depressing, really..
