Planet Goa Quarterly|Volume 11 Issue 4
Banzai! The sushi and Sashimi dive bomb our palates with umami explosions as our tastebuds surrender to the delicate, balanced flavors of Japan. The land of Sun Sand and Sea is today pleasantly inundated with tantalizing food-fare which originates from the land of the rising sun. To a Japanophile like me this all feels like dreaming of the Sakura blooms in spring. Here's a list of the top 10 restaurants offering the Japanese experience to its Goan patrons and tourists.

Saké The Asian Lounge

Is it a ramp? When will the show start? who are the models? The bar at Saké does resemble a fashion ramp with its circular imposing lights but the models do arrive and the show does happen but not the way you'd think. Saké gives the feel of a Japanese night club and further adds theatricality to every Food and beverage served. Each siplicious cocktail is dramatic as it lands on the bar counter so here's introducing the models for the evening "Saké Mahö", "You give me Butterflies", "Ume Negroni", "Un-fig-gettable old fashioned", "Zakuro Kiss" all this makes me feel "So Matcha better". You can wind down the highs with scintillating Sushi ranging from the classic to innovations like  blue pea flower roll with blue pea infused rice or move to the deconstructed signature sushi " Sushi on Crack". Saké is Just "Yabai!" Enjoy!

Makutsu

Makutsu or a den of thieves in Japanese aims to give its clientele a feel of a smokey, sake sipping Japanese night dive "the Izakaya experience" minus the yakuza of course. The visual of this restaurant seems to embrace you with its simplicity as the open kitchen hibachi of this grill house drums out the most varied and succulent cuts of yakitori and lots of scrumptious others. Welcome to your table succulent Chicken oyster, drool-worthy Beef tongue, exquisite Salmon ponzu or let a local ingredient like "tambdi bhaji" woo you in its Japanese avatar called "Red Spinach Gomae", while you unwind with cooling thirst quenchers like Yuzu lemonade and Melon Sodas.
