Love Nutrient Kaze Japanese Eatery @ Paradigm City, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

Icon City's latest hip Japanese eating theater has simply swung opened its doors; Kaze Japanese Restaurant occupies 1 whole edifice at Icon City instead of having it shared alongside someone else. Inside the eating theater is slick alongside a mixture of pale as well as bold timber walls, illuminated past times warm xanthous lighting alongside touches of Japanese knick-knacks. Seating infinite could live on to a greater extent than spacious, nosotros felt a footling cramped as well as the distance betwixt tables was also nearly (we could ask heed the conversation happened adjacent table). Though slightly to a greater extent than expensive than average, the service provided to us was proficient as well as the character was a shape higher upwards the rest. The bible-thick card includes a serial of classic Japanese dishes such every bit Sushi Rolls, Ramen, Barbecue Skewers as well as Teishoku. Their surreptitious weapon is likely the air-flown Sashimi but this would exclusively live on beneficial to those alongside a deep pocket. Price tags may look hefty but they commensurate alongside character as well as generous serving size. 

Sashimi, Sushi To Mini Udon Set (Rm 38)

Ebi Tamago Toji Jyu To Shake Sashimi Set (Rm 38)

We were at that spot for tiffin as well as could non resist to companionship their value-for-money Set Lunch; for a Udon as well as Sashimi freak similar me, try their Sashimi, Sushi as well as Mini Udon Set (Rm 38) that comes alongside a bowl of comforting Udon alongside Dashi stock, fresh Sashimi as well as a few choices of Sushi. The raw fish slices were fresh as well as appropriately cut. Do non await downwards on their Chawanmushi either, it may look overly elementary as well as bland but it was velvety smoothen alongside a outburst of sugariness Dashi-essence (Ginkgo, Kani as well as Shrimp were included).  Everything was straight-forward without unnecessary frills, though freshness was the telephone substitution as well as nosotros were glad that Kaze did it right. 

Ebi Tamago Toji Jyu To Shake Sashimi Set (Rm 38) may live on a footling also heavy for some, the Deep Fried Prawns were pretty standard-average but they excel inwards the thick, fresh Salmon Sashimi. Depending on your personal preference, nosotros idea both options were value for money. Kaze's Set Lunch is exclusively available from 11:30 am to two pm; daily.

To share, nosotros had Ika Geso Yaki (Rm 8.80), Grilled Squid Tentacles; diners teach to select betwixt Shioyaki (grilled alongside Salt) or Teriyaki (with Teriyaki Sauce). To our dismay, the Tentacles were overcooked as well as  possessed hard-to-the-bite texture. Flavor was alright, simply that they could better on the texture.

Love Nutrient Ittan Izakaya (一炭水產) @ Ikon City, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

It's tardily to notice Ittan Izakaya, thank you lot to the flashy colorful flags amongst Japanese characters correct exterior the restaurant, waving as well as luring Japan-philes to flock in. Fresh Seafood is the matter at Ittan Izakaya, it boasts virtually their air-flown Seafood, require imported from Tsukiji Wet Market Tokyo; seemingly aiming to move the apex inwards serving the freshest Sashimi inwards town. Step inwards the eating topographic point as well as move wow-ed yesteryear the interior decor- filled amongst wooden crates as well as Japanese-character embellishments. We genuinely idea they moved the entire fish marketplace here! All servers were trained to move energetic as well as they volition outcry (earth-shakingly) inwards gratitude for your presence inwards the restaurant. Tables are well-partitioned but if you lot are coming inwards smaller groups (probably two or iii inwards a group), you lot may accept to settle amongst the smaller ones. Alternatively, pick the seats close the Sushi Bar where alive actions tin move seen as well as witnessed but create non facial expression the seats to move comfortable. The carte du jour is dedicated to Sashimi as well as Grilled Seafood... amongst a few exotic choices similar Chicken Sashimi. Not all dishes nosotros had were peachy but they did excel inwards price of freshness of the Sashimi. If you lot are inwards the vicinity, the house is worth a look. 

Salmon Sashimi Don (Rm 20.20)

Minced Salmon as well as Tuna Sashimi Don (Rm 26.90)

Salmon as well as Kanpachi Sashimi Don (Rm 38.70)

Grilled Eel Don (Rm 30.60)

The most of import matter virtually Sushi/ Sashimi would move freshness as well as to create this, restaurants must sell boatload of them to proceed the stocks coming. We were glad to detect out that all of their Sashimi were fresh as well as appropriately sliced to the correct thickness... as well as the texture was non comprised but what made us excited was the texture of the Japanese Rice. It was served to us warm as well as at the perfect sticky-chewy texture, only the agency nosotros wanted it to be! We enjoyed most of them except... the Minced version. The texture was somewhat oil as well as non fine plenty to our liking. We'd recommend their Salmon Sashimi Don, a value-for-money order. 

Chicken Sashimi (Rm 12)

Grilled Minced Chicken Skewer (Rm 12 for two sticks)

Grilled Hokke Fish (Rm 24.20)

Not solely uncooked cuts of Seafood tin move served raw as well as for the real get-go fourth dimension inwards Penang, Chicken Sashimi is besides served. We hesitated at get-go but decided to try... for novelty experience. To our surprise, the Chicken Sashimi possessed the soft-mushy texture only similar Fish Sashimi, sans the Umami-after taste. It had a nary of flavor, to a greater extent than similar biting a spell of green soft as well as juicy meat. Delicious? Not quite the representative I'm afraid. *Eat At Your Own Risk*

The Grilled Minced Chicken Skewer was disappointingly average equally though nosotros were having roughly sweetened Chicken Satay served amongst raw Egg Yolk. Another detail that you lot may forgo would move Grilled Hokke Fish, a type of Mackerel. My Japanese friend commented that the fish was overcooked as well as the texture was dry. It was supposed to move moist as well as juicy. Not that bad but non something that nosotros would lodge again.

Love Nutrient Sushi-B'rito @ Spice Canopy, Bayan Baru, Penang.

The ascension inwards health witting customers has forced the manufacture players to endure acquaint together with competitive. One of the items propelled yesteryear such alter is Sushi Burrito;  ginormous mix of meat/ fish, crunchy veggies wrapped amongst Seaweed. The persuasion of turning the Mexican please into Sushi shape may endure somewhat repulsive but the final result is exciting. Sushi-B'rito is 1 of the commencement of its variety to offering the truthful fusion of Japanese together with Mexican. The house Sushi-Burrito specialist joins the tenants at sPICE Canopy (formerly known equally PISA); the interior is build clean together with bright, amongst ample seating. It adopts a fast-food takeaway concept- diners are to guild at the counter together with await for their turns to endure called. The bill of fare is direct together with straight-forward, amongst a few choices of Sushi Burritos, Rice Burgers together with Japanese Don on offer; quality's goodness but the cost mightiness endure a petty hurtful to the wallet.

Salmon Burrito Set (Rm 20.90)

Beef Burger Set (Rm 21.90)

All orders come upwards amongst a choice of ala-carte or develop meals; the latter choice volition incur an additional Rm 3. One of their signature Sushi Burritos- Salmon Burrito sees chunks of smoked Salmon, crunchy greens together with a handful of Rice wrapped amongst Seaweed. Smoked Salmon was used inwards lieu of fresh Salmon (Sashimi); the Smoked Salmon imparts a salty-smokiness to the roll together with it was goodness to become on its own. No additional dressing or dips required; nosotros persuasion it was brilliantly crafted. It was a pocket-size disappointment to know that no Guacamole was on offer. Every Set Meal comes amongst a sip together with Fries or Edamame; though we'd prefer to lead maintain a bowl of Miso Soup to become amongst the Sushi Burrito.

Their Beef Rice Burger paled when inwards comparing amongst Salmon Sushi Burrito; the Beef patty was expertly cooked- slightly crumbly but perfectly juicy inwards the middle together with almost tender but the seasoning was rather bold together with felt a petty saltish towards the end. We'd also prefer the Rice Patties to possess a charred aroma, non also certain if they grilled them but if they did, they postulate to produce it for slightly longer. It was a quite enjoyable repast otherwise.
