Create your own don - Hokkaido Style Toyo Katte Don

Japanese restaurants are literally everywhere in Hong Kong that it constantly gives everyone a headache when deciding where to eat (when looking for quality Japanese cuisine :p). Luckily the newly opened Hokkaido style Toyo Katte Don can be a lifesaver for those who want a simple and seafoody meal.

It’s a tiny little Japanese style canteen with chairs and dining tables all packed together, not the most comfortable seating at but still neat and tidy.

Customers can design their own don by picking the seafood they want and there are a few other choices recommended by the restaurant for those who don’t want to think.

Not knowing what to order except our drinks, we lazily left it to the chef and what we’ve got were a double una don ($158) and an omakase don ($188).

Loved this apple soda since my first sip months ago. Tasted pleasingly sweet without being too artificial. A refreshing drink to wash down your food with.

All we saw in the Double una don ($158) were a mega sized kabayaki eel with two ends hanging on the edge of the bowl and a smaller piece of shirayaki sea eel. OMG totally an eel porn! Can’t go wrong with kabayaki eel that’s tender and sweet. The latter was relatively lighter in flavour and a bit chewier.

Negitoro don with uni ($188) was equally good with their generous portion of fatty tuna and creamy uni, only if there were a bit more green onions for that crisp and aroma. Miso soup was hot and not overly salty, while the braised pork on the side almost melted in the mouth.
