I'd been wanting to try Sean Preston's 'new' restaurant Sake Restaurant & Bar at The Rocks in Sydney for awhile now. Hearing rave reviews from friends and families, when ze boyfriend and I got some good news this week, it seems like a good celebratory lunch venue.
As soon as you enter the little nook in the wall restaurant, it instantly brings me back to some of the best restaurants I've been to in Japan. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by all the chefs with a cheerful "Irashaimase!!!". Loving the dark wooden interior with the traditional Japanese sunken dining tables.
Of course, I had pre studied the menu but still had no idea what to choose, kind of wish I had gone with more people so we could have more choice. Regardless, we managed to pick 5 of our favourites which we brought super promptly by the staff.
Mixed sashimi platter was fresh and tasty, I'm not a big fan of sashimi but the freshness of the seafood at Sake, I couldn't resist stealing a few pieces from the boyfriend's plate. Followed by Popcorn shrimp, my definite fave. Little fried balls of shrimp tossed in Japanese mayonnaise and a spicy sauce... devine! Then Teriyaki burger balls, which I could have eaten about 100 more of, Spider maki rolls, both crunchy and fresh and finished off with some Tempura. Although the tempura was nice, it was probably the most disappointing dish and I wish we hadn't ordered it so I could have tried Sake's Dessert Bento!
Oh well, there's always next time.... believe me, I'll be going back!
