MIZU - Authentic Japanese Cuisine minus the Sushi ( Yes you read it right ) Basically a Izakaya Kitchen ( Small plates ) Located at Atria Mall , Packed on Friday evening even without Alcohol ( They still not started ) Interiors Chic. One can call it a fine dine. Heard People say it's a tad costly. However many f their Ingredients are sourced from Japan. Few options for Vegetarians, however new menu launching on Monday which has some additional dishes. A couple of Mocktail (i tried the one with Guava with 7 spices) Coming to the food: Yellowtail Hamachi Sashimi (max 1 cm) not as thin as a Carpaccio. Ponzu Sauce (smoked) makes a difference. Gives you that punch. Gives you that citrus tart tangy flavour very close to vinaigrette. Basically this is made of (citrus juice/Susachi/Yazu/kabosu) this was topped with wild rice crisp and edible flower as a garnish. Loved it. Gyoza - Basically Pan seared Japanese dumplings which they serve with Yuzu citrus chilli oil and Ponzu sauce. We asked for the Edamame and Truffle. Lovely texture. Balance was perfect. Nice aroma. Go for this. PRAWNS KAROREE - guess from the new menu. Its deep fried like croquettes. Stuffed diced prawns with annori and béchamel (blends well) this is white sauce from white roux and milk. So these croquettes are gooey from the inside. Served with arugula/cherry tomatoes and crispy chips. This comes under the section of Izakaya. BAOS - was lucky to try their NAN PIZZA (new menu) Homemade Bao with a stuffing of mozzarella. Also Tried their Smoked Pumpkin & Tempura Aubergine. This was amazing. Flat flitters of Aubergine which gave the crunchiness. This had a bit of wasabi hit some Yukari (popular rice seasoning from Japan - herby/tangy flavour) Also had some equally diced pickled beetroot. Smoked Pumpkin had a lovely texture. Overall the balance was good. Chicken Thigh - some dishes look simple yet they taste good. This was soft juicy. Presented on a skewer. Comes under the Yakitori section (Japanese term for grilled over charcoal served on a skewer) this was grilled to perfection. Gets a bit of Smokey touch to it. Marinated with Tare (dipping sauce) a tad sweet and gives that glaze. This dish also had Leek which was char grilled well with a bit of green garlic. Overall lovely. Nice glaze. Stuffed Chillies (here they use Bhavnagari Chillies) they also have similar chilli in Japan. Grilled. Texture good. Simple stuffing of cheese and a bit of spices. Did not lose the colour. Just perfect. TSUKUNE - the dish of the day. Had Punch/bold flavours/aroma. This is again a Yakitori Chicken minced like a kebab (or meat ball) Simple terms Chicken meatballs on skewers. Had a lovely glaze from outside and rusty texture from inside. Topped with a mix of Saffron and Miso sauce (gave the aroma) Miso had a burst of flavours. Loved this. Could not resist - Cold Noodle salad (Veg) Lovely subtle sesame dressing. Ramen noodles used are hand pulled. Edamame/red cabbage/carrots. Mains - difficult to choose from Ramen/Donburi/Nabemono. Went for Donburi (New Menu) this is rice bowls with Japanese flavours. It was Katsu Curry (veg) one has an option to go for chicken. Wow very close to the Japanese. This has the punch/bold flavours. It's all about the sauce. Combination of soy/vinegar/ginger/garlic/spices. Semi thick in texture. Had a curry pata hit. This went well with the Sticky rice along with Gari and crispy spinach. Meal by itself. Go for this dish. Desserts: Heaven. Autumn Lantern (lovely presentation) warm and cold type. A mix of baked apple sake jelly and caramel parfait. This is in layers. Hazelnut cacao - their signature dessert which is gluten free. Mousse (sao thome) with ice cream. Hazelnut gateau milk chocolate & salted caramel. Sorbet (this weather we need it) Strawberry/Mango/Matcha. Texture good. Loved it Overall - FANTASTIC.
