Ichibanya Sushi & Noodles Bar
So many tempting dishes
If you’re in Bishopstown, whether a resident or visitor, and feeling hungry, why not give Ichibanya Sushi & Noodles Bar a call? This bright 50-seater place offers a friendly welcome and an extensive menu that will take quite a while to read.
The best place to start reading is the Sushi section, which has some sub-sections. If you are new to Sushi, it may be a good idea to start with individual pieces, such as Maguro Nigiri (Raw Tuna) or Suzuki Nigiri (Raw Seabass). Nigiri is a popular type of sushi consisting of a small mound of vinegared sushi rice topped with a slice of raw fish or other seafood.
If you have experience with sushi (or sashimi), you could do worse than order the Nigiri Mix. That’s what I did on my recent visit, and I certainly enjoyed the seven-piece selection of Salmon, Tuna, Seabass, Unagi, Cooked Prawn, Cooked Octopus, and Crabstick.
The Bento Boxes are good value here, and there is often one on special offer, as was the case with ours: the Chicken Teriyaki Bento (deep-fried teriyaki chicken, mixed salad, gyoza, rice).
A traditional Bento typically includes rice or noodles with fish or other meat, often accompanied by pickled and cooked vegetables in the compartmentalised box. Other Bento boxes on offer here include a Beef Yakiniku Bento (wok-fried beef in yakiniku BBQ sauce, mixed salad, takoyaki, rice), a Salmon Teriyaki Bento, and more!
Our little group also got the Chicken Katsu Curry, a pretty generous amount of chicken with rice, some small pieces of vegetables, and a little ginger. We also got a bowl of Miso Soup, which comes automatically (no extra charge) with quite a few of the dishes here (including the bentos).
Some of you are probably familiar with Ramen dishes, and here, you can choose from six different types. We also missed out on trying the Noodle dishes, such as Yaki Udon (Japanese-style stir-fried thick wheat noodles with chicken) and Beef Udon (medium-cooked sirloin beef in hot bonito soup).
Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink, and they sell two here: Nigori Yuzushu Sake and Hakutsuru Sake. Had I been having a drink, I may well have opted for the Plum Wine. Quite a few soft drinks are available, plus teas and coffees.
Starters and appetisers each have their own section on the menu. And then there is dessert! I’m sorry, I skipped the sweet ending, in particular the Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake, a fluffy, soufflé-style cheesecake with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the Rainbow Mille Crepe Cake, a colourful, multi-layered crêpe cake filled with cream cheese, offering a delightful taste with every bite. Next time!
