Matsukiya 松喜屋 (One Holland Village)

Choice is otherwise strawberry

This was pretty good. The salt and the milk flavoured combined into a coherent whole. Texture can improve abit but flavour was up there

Ala carte

It really is extremely good. The miso flavour takes a back seat to an impressive prawny flavour without bitterness at all and was clean umami. No muddy taste too

And we all know how rare it is to find a bowl of pure prawn broth. Moreover the giant amaebi was pretty good in its own right too, if a little mushy

Must try if you like prawn soups, I initially balked at the price but still decided to go along with the order after I had 2 spoonfuls of soup from the set

The outside is extremely crunchy, although they insist that it's grilled there's a very obvious layer of batter

The meat itself was alright, sauce was too sharp and the ratio between meat and rice was not good at all

This is much better than expected. First of all the unagi(salt version, not sauced up) is dry crispy on the outside and fluffy and fatty on the inside.

Salad was alright, the rice sucks tho. Quite dry not flavourful. Chawanmushi has truffle so I'm biased against

And right smack in the middle is something that deserves a separate post

The set also comes with ice cream

Clean sour umami sauce, that's quite their own thing. It's significantly stronger than a traditional Japanese sauce

Oh my god this was bloody expensive

But very good. Strong umami, outside has more of a bounce and inside was more tender.

I won't say it's worth it at all, but I must compliment them on the execution.
