Japanese food remains to be one of my top favorite cuisines and I will immediately drop everything to eat Japanese food anytime.
This time though, my aunt made me try Takashi's Japanese Cuisine, a little Japanese restaurant located in Kapitolyo. It's practically a hole in the wall place right next to a grocery store. (Who would've thought right?). Despite its not so glamorous location, what really makes up for it is the delicious Japanese food.
We ordered their Kani Salad, which, at P80, is such a steal and is good for sharing between three people. The restaurant doesn't scrimp on the ingredients - there's kani slices, lots of sweet mangoes, corn, and Japanese mayo. Another dish I tried and really liked was their Prawn Tempura - it was very crispy and the shrimp was very succulent. The pork tonkotsu was pretty large and good for sharing, although I did not like this one very much as I pledge my tonkotsu cravings elsewhere. Their salmon sashimi on the other hand, was really good! The fish was fresh and served on a bed of vegetables and makes for a really attractive dish. Another favorite is their Sizzling Beef Teppanyaki, the beef was very soft and flavorful and goes best with a serving of steaming hot gohan.
Even if you're not from Pasig, the drive to Kapitolyo will definitely be worth it. The ambiance is similar to your typical hole in the wall Japanese restaurant, so don't expect much on this deparmtent, but the food will definitely be worth the drive and the time. read more
