I am a Veggie lover, and I love eating green. Hence, my friend and I decided to check out this Japanese vegetarian restaurant in Wan Chai. When we entered the restaurant, the first encounterment was the strong rice vinegar scent mixed with the deep fried oil smell, which wasn't too pleasant. Anyhow, we were greeted by courteous staffs, and were seated right away.There were 3 menus to choose from tonight: 1) Chef's recommendation - omakase; 2) Tofu Pot menu 3) Sakura Set --> since it's season

There were 3 menus to choose from tonight:
1) Chef's recommendation - omakase;
2) Tofu Pot menu
3) Sakura Set --> since it's seasonal, both of us got this one.

We also got ourself two homemade Choya. It tasted nice, not too sweet, and has a strong plum fragrant.

First came the Cold Dish - Tomato in Japanese Vinegrette Dressing.

This dish was very refreshing. The tomato was peeled and the sourness of the dressing completely opened up our appetite!

The almond tofu was a lil too salty, not smooth enough.

Third Dish - Vegetarian Sushi Set (Deep fried sakura, radish, sea grapes, two maki)

This is the dish where the meal started downturn. The deep fried sakura sushi (pink sushi) was nothing but oily, as if I've drank a teaspoon of oil with rice. The other sushi was very bland, no technique, nothing special.

Fourth Dish - Cheese rice cake and sweet potato (garnished with Alpen salt)

Tho it had a strong soya bean taste, yet no sakura taste was presented. It did had a sakura petal inside, yet there was no surprise in the taste..

Seventh Dish - Tofu Skin Dumpling stuffed with assorted mushrooms

Eighth Dish - Sakura Ice cream

This was our favourite dish of the night, strong fragrant of sakura infused in the icecream, very well done. After the dessert, we came to realize..where was our udon..? We checked with the server, and realized they've skipped our dish...The server apologized sincerely and we were served with cold udon after dessert was done..

Ninth Dish - cold Sakura udon

Although the udon was pink, yet again, no taste of sakura. The texture was a bit on the mushy side, overly done and not chewy enough.

Overall, the service was great, attentive staffs, courteous service.
However, the food did not live up to standard. After eating a veggie meal, it didn't feel clean at all but OILY.

Will I go back again? Don't think so..
