Ton & Co

Restaurant

👍👍 9 trips to Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu) and definately the best kaki fry (oysters) I have ever had in my life. The oysters are still juicy and the breading is the perfect texture.

Ichimi Sake Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍 Ichimi had incredibly delicious food. It was more than what we usually pay for Japanese food but the taste was flavoursome. Felt staff could’ve been a bit more attentive as we waited a while to get menus even though it wasn’t busy. But overall lovely experience. Highly recommend the tacos.

Ogawa Japanese Cafe

😠 One of the worst soups I have ever had. Actually, change that. It WAS the worst soups I ever had.

I had about 4 spoonfuls of it and then had to pu...
