YUZU has been praised for its innovative menu and quality food, but be prepare to pay a little more for a quality ingredients comparing with other Japanese outlets at the mall. Yuzu has changed it menu recently. Located at The Gardens Isetan side, next to Pappa Rich, YUZU occupies a large space. The interior is comfortable, setting with woods and bamboos, Japanese elements such as kimonos, sake bottles as a decoration. Total paid for lunch, RM74.75

 

 

Water, free

Sukiyaki, RM65.00

Small bowls with an egg for dipping, adding texture to the meat, not only cooling it but easing the friction that can make meat hard to swallow. The drill was simple, a little like a savory fondue session, or a liquid translation of manning bulgogi on the tabletop grill. Sliced onion, cabbage, enoki and chrysanthemum leaves for long simmering to enrich the broth. Shitake mushrooms, tofu and noodles  soaked for a few minutes to soften, proved as satisfying as beef , except that each supple, silk-thin round of meat added depth and flavor to the broth as we swished it to and fro for the seconds it took each slice to cook. As the steam boiled off from the pot, slowly noticed the broth concentrate and grow even more potent. Near the meal’s end, it had become rich and salty.
