I bought a voucher which entitled me to a custom bento, including miso (worth $14.95) and a soft drink. I was given a tick sheet for my order, similar to the lunch special sheet at Darac. My selection was sashimi, agedashi tofu and cold soba salad. I wasn’t given a drinks menu but I knew they had Ramune and Calpico, which were the most interesting and also the most expensive drinks on the list (worth $5.50-6). Ramune is a lemonade sort of drink, whilst Calpico has a bit...

Came here on Saturday night so I was able to try the dinner menu (which they've actually started serving all day on weekends). I was still sort of full from dinner last night so I went with something light. As can be seen in the photos, there was a nice charcoal-y taste on the top and bottom of the tofu but the inside remained moist and soft, and whilst I don't usually eat teriyaki unless it's with unagi, this one wasn't too sweet and was very good with...
