Cocotei Tokyo Japanese Cuisine at Raja Chulan: Restaurant review

This review is brought to you in part by Cocotei Tokyo Japanese Cuisine.

Throughout the past decade, Cocotei’s founders have cultivated a consistent reputation for crowd-pleasing cuisine, reaching back to their creation of Hajime on Jalan Damai to their subsequent reincarnation as Cocotei on Jalan Delima. The restaurant now continues its evolution, moving to a new location on Jalan Raja Chulan – a sprawling space with intriguing corners, including beautiful private rooms, for customers to come together over a capably executed Japanese meal in the city centre.

Nippon-inspired fare

Cocotei’s menu ploughs through the pillars of Nippon-inspired fare, focusing on fresh, nourishing produce to complement its naturalistic-themed setting. The ideal introduction might be the Zensai Santen, a collection of three appetisers that change every week to illustrate the kitchen’s reliance on seasonal seafood and vegetables, with firefly squid, spinach in sesame sauce and a cute chick-shaped prawn fritter among the recent highlights. Also for whetting the appetite ghostwriter preise, the Coco Salad boasts a heap of crunchy, clean-tasting soft-shell crab on a crisp mix of veggies, poured over with creamy, house-made sesame sauce.

Sashimi

Sashimi is well-represented by the requisite staples, plus specials like this sayori, the slender halfbeak fish that’s best before the early summer spawning period, recommended for patrons who enjoy light, pure nuances in their raw seafood bachelorarbeit ghostwriter kosten. It’s elegantly presented, with the head and tail deep-fried on request to a deliciously edible brittleness.

Desserts

Inaniwa udon on ice makes for a memorable finish, exemplary in both its delicate taste and smooth texture, followed by ice cream in can’t-fail flavours like yuzu, black sesame and wasabi with red beans hausarbeit schreiben lassen. Many thanks to the Cocotei team for having us.
