The new year of 2013 started with a rather pleasant surprise and certainly an exquisitely prepared lunch at Yoshiyuki. When i first walked in past the entrance, into a short dimly lit corridor suddenly the door slid open and we were greeted by the manager of the restaurant. If you looked around, there isnt any window from where you enter but we were expected, almost felt like in those paranormal movies. We were then led into the restaurant and we came to a junction where it felt like a dead end and then she pushes against one side of the wall and the door swung open like a trap door for a moment i felt i should have worn my ninja suit and carried my shurikens.

We finally entered a well lit area, and was greeted by a sushi bar which doesnt appear to sit many. After which we began our kaiseki lunch prepared by Chef Yoshiyuki Kashiwabara Kyoto style. I bet you would have read a bit about the Chef who succeeded Goto San as the Chef for the Japanese Ambassdor and now he brought back to Singapore by Ignatius Chan who started Iggy's.

So far, this restaurant appears to have gotten it all right and ended last year with Wong Ah Yoke stating it to be one of his favourite restaurants for 2012.

I must say the dishes were beautifully prepared and the quality was impeccable.
