Had such a lovely dinner at Bisco Sakaba! It’s run by a Japanese couple, with the husband doing all the cooking. You can really tell how much care he puts into the food. Everything we had was so fresh and almost everything was cooked to perfection. You can really feel the respect he has for the dishes through the food.
We had the Yuzu Daikon, Dashi Egg, Hokkaido Hotate Carpaccio, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Wagyu Steak, Squid Avocado Salad and a Pomodoro & Mozzarella Pasta.
The Dashi Egg is definitely a must try! The texture of the egg yolk was something I’ve never had before. It was so soft and almost melted in my mouth.
The Hokkaido hotate was also super fresh. My husband usually doesn’t eat raw food but he actually liked the scallop here, so that says a lot! 😂 The squid avocado salad was another favourite. The squid was cooked just right, not chewy at all, and went so well with the avocado, nuts and salad vegetables.
The Brussels sprouts were SO good too. And ooof, the Wagyu steak 🤌🏻 It’s quite different from the usual Western style of cooking. The meat was so soft, not gamey or chewy, and I really loved the sauces that came with it. I think it was a pumpkin sauce and a mushroom ragu, and the mushroom was sooo good.
We also had the Pomodoro & Mozzarella Pasta. This was probably the most so-so dish for us, but the tomato sauce itself was really good!
OH and please try their homemade lemonade! It was SOOO GOOD. 🍋 Definitely one of those drinks where you immediately want another glass.
The space is really small, basically an L shaped counter bar with a few tables on the side, but I actually really liked it. It felt cosy and intimate, and surprisingly we could still have a proper conversation without having to shout at each other. 😂
Overall, really enjoyed our dinner here. Fresh ingredients, great cooking and you can really tell the chef puts a lot of heart into what he makes. Definitely a place I’d come back to!
