It was a Friday night, and we were famished. Monique had no car, and I had to fetch her from school, and on the way to fetch Vicky at her office, we had to make a quick decision of where we were going to eat. It was close to 8pm and we had not eaten since late brekky. Monique suggested going Japanese, and I knew that Vicky would pose no objection. Ariake was a mere two blocks away from her office, and we ordered to please our tummies!
We first concentrated on having fast appetizers and sushi/sashimi. The spicy tuna was coated in something crunchy, and had a dressing that tasted very good. Uni was Vicky's request, together with some agedashi tofu. Monique had salmon sushi, while I went for the oysters butteryaki (which to me was heavenly). Everyone took some gyoza.
We were pretty happy with the main dishes--some cold tempura udon (with raw quail egg), grilled unagi for Vicky, soft shell crab tempura (crunchy and freshly made, Monique's fave), and beef teppanyaki for me. We spent something like P800 per head, which is not bad for Tomas Morato standards. True, we were very hungry, and we probably over-ordered; in the end, however, we left the restaurant grinning from ear to ear. Clean environment, good service, good food.
