The atmosphere was fantastic. During the meal, the staff offered every diner a small cup of sake🍶 to toast with someone celebrating their birthday. Additionally, the restaurant had a fun game where each diner got two chances to roll eight dice. If five dice showed the same number, you’d win a bottle of sake. The game created a lively and cheerful atmosphere. The food was also impressive. The grilled Hiroshima oysters🦪 were fresh, flavorful, juicy, and free of any fishy taste. The plump oysters retained their tender texture even after grilling, without shrinking excessively. Adding raclette cheese🧀 gave them a savory richness, making them indulgent. Tochio Fried Tofu, a specialty from Niigata Prefecture's Tochio region, featured large blocks of tofu deep-fried to perfection—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Topped with salty whitebait and fragrant chopped scallions, it was a delightful dish. The charcoal-grilled chicken🐔 was cooked over high-temperature charcoal, with the dripping fat igniting flames🔥 that infused the meat with a smoky aroma. The chicken was firm and chewy, offering a satisfying texture. Salt-grilled Ayu Fish🧂 was neither overly dry nor too salty. Its belly was plump and filled with flavorful roe, offering a rich and aromatic taste. A dip in tadezu sauce added a sweet and tangy flavor. The Edamame Fish Balls combined the fresh aroma of edamame with the savory taste of fish, creating a dish with a rich and varied texture. The Smoked Yellowtail with Grapefruit was thinly sliced, showcasing the chef's excellent knife skills🧑🍳. The yellowtail had a rich, smoky flavor and firm, juicy flesh. The grapefruit added a sweet, tangy, and slightly bitter freshness that balanced the fish's richness. The minced chicken was tender, smooth, and melted in your mouth. Mixed with chicken cartilage, it offered a chewy and layered texture. The teriyaki sauce was mildly sweet and rich, while the creamy raw egg yolk sauce added a luscious eggy aroma. The Oyster-stuffed Chicken Wing was a golden, crispy grilled chicken wing stuffed with a whole, flavorful oyster🦪—a rare find. The Homemade Matcha Chestnut🌰 Cake had a delicate texture that melted in your mouth. It combined the sweet aroma of chestnuts with the slightly bitter and refreshing taste of matcha, offering a complex flavor profile. —— Charcoal Rabbit (炭兎) 📬 6/F, QRE Plaza, 202 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai Must-try Restaurant
