Taruhachi

Japanese$$

Fish is the order of the day at this home-style Japanese den tucked behind a second-hand bookstore. Once you decide on raw, grilled or deep-fried, sit back and enjoy the healthy lunch set that comes with miso soup, salad and a small dish - all perfectly seasoned. The mainly business crowd isn’t disappointed with dinnertime specials scrawled on the paper banners that adorn the wall such as crunchy deep-fried sardines. Salmon head miso soup warms the cockles of your heart, while juicy karaage, agedashi tofu and tonkatsu are all fail-safe orders. Dessert isn’t on the menu, so bask in the sweet service instead.
