Whether it's for a casual after-spa dinner, mother's day and birthday, Asunaro has always been a recurring option for the family. We've been dining here since its former Miyabi days. Thus, I could safely conclude that its the extended family's most loved Japanese Restaurant.
Like our family, the place has undergone a lot of changes. But, I think their interior right now is the best. Hence, only sharing about them just now. (Good excuse for my delinquency right?)
I find it to be very in tuned with nature.
Food
Ala Carte
Sake (Salmon) (150 php) |
♥ Harasu (Fatty Flesh of Salmon Belly) (350 php) |
♥ Uni (Sea Urchin) (250 php) |
Another favorite of ours that great for sharing is the Uni (Sea Urchin).
Iradori Maki (380 php) |
Kani Ebi Tempura Maki (280 php) |
The Kani Ebi Tempura Maki is a fun choice because of their great tempura bits.
Special Menu
♥ Maguro Cube Spicy Sashimi (280 php) |
The Maguro Cube Spicy Sashimi is one of the best spicy tuna in the Metro. Perhaps, I prefer this more than Nihonbashitei's.
Robotayaki
♥ Chicken Teriyaki (260 php) |
The Chicken Teriyaki is light-tasting and very tender just the way I like it.
Agemono
Ebi Tempura (Prawn Tempura) (430 php) |
Family Menu
Family Kaki Nabe (1,850 php) |
Out of all I've tried at Asunaro, I believe that the Family Kaki Nabe is quite expensively priced. Though the oysters were huge, it is not strikingly extraordinary for the price.
♥ Family Yakiniku (1,200 php) |
Since the guys in the family are practically carnivores, the Family Yakiniku is a must on our dining table.
We always opt for the set menu or bento because it is the most bang-for-the-buck.
There are many other options to choose from. Budget is around 1,000 and above but can be shared between ladies.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Asunaro Japanese Restaurant is our family's most loved Japanese restaurant and no doubt it will always be.
