Set within a relaxing space along Dempsey Road, Rakuichi specialises in dishing out authentic and tasty Japanese fare at pocket-friendly prices. Sashimi is a must to start the meal, and the fresh slices of raw fish presented elegantly on a platter are definite crowd-pleasers. Grilled meats are a highlight at Rakuichi — your eyes feast first on the generous cubes of meat on skewers, presented on a small charcoal-grill and cooked before you. It’s enough to work up an appetite (not that you’ll need to) for the smoke-kissed, lightly charred meats bursting with flavour. There’s also comfort food to indulge in, such as soft-shell crab karaage, plump breaded oysters that are crispy and creamy at the same time, as well as enoki mushrooms wrapped in thick strips of fatty bacon. Put this on your go-to list if you’re a Japanese food lover. (Jan 2019)
