I used to go to Watami often but now there are too many new restaurants and things to try that I only go back if it is really good or for something new.
Went here because the decor was modern and brightly lit.

Modern lights
On this visit, I got quite a few surprises.

Here was what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Bluefin chu toro sashimi rice $128:
The tuna had a strong unami taste which tasted good with the rice but the portion was quite small and more wasabi was needed.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Kyushu pork broth ramen $78:
The ramen gave me a big surprise because they were the thin noodles that I like and the broth was creamy and flavourful.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Roasted Atka Mackerel $98
The mackerel was huge and grilled evenly with a crisp skin and the fish was soft.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
It was hard deciding which desserts to get so I ordered three because they only cost $18.

Matcha pudding with red beans:

This was quite sweet but the pudding beneath it was silky and creamy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Matcha affogato:

The maccha is poured onto the icecream to make affogato so it had a lovely creamy taste balanced by the bitterness of the maccha.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Homemade arrowroot cakes with uji matcha:

This was another good dessert because the arrowroot cakes were soft and chewy covered in delicious yellow bean powder.
