1:56 AM

Tsubohachi Hokkaido Izakaya is an authentic Japanese Izakaya style restaurant which is located at Publika. Over the last 40 years, Tsubohachi has built a very good reputation as Japanese authentic Izakaya chain origin from Hokkaido. It is known as the place to go for drinking. This is their first branch in Malaysia.

The environment of Tsubohachi is in very authentic Japanese style based on Edo period. The things that catch my attention would be the Japanese giant bathtubs in the restaurant. With the authentic Japanese style ambient, yummy dishes and the great Japanese hospitality, Tsubohachi give me a wonderful dining experience on how is it to dine in an Izakaya restaurant in Japan.

For their Japanese dishes, all the ingredients are imported from Japan and other countries. It is to ensure that the food ingredients that they use are the highest quality and fresh. Izakaya food is usually more substantial. Many items are designed to be shared.

Tsubohachi are offering wide range of alcoholic drink such as Masu Sake (Japanese Rice Wine), Asahi Sub-Zero (Extra Cold Beer), Ozeki Hana Fuga (Sparkling Rice Wine), Yuzushu and so on.

Coke Highball (Suntory Whisky with Coke)-Rm20 | Ginger Highball (Suntory Whisky with Ginger Ale)- Rm20

Highball is the name of mixed alcoholic drinks which is the combination of alcohol base and larger proportion of non-alcoholic mixer. This kind of drinks is Japanese popular drinking style. This drink is very suitable for girls as it is sweet in taste. Most of the girls like Highball.

Negima- Rm7.80 | Seseri- Rm7.80 | Torikawa- Rm7.80

You can’t miss out grilled chicken skewers when you dine in Japanese Izakaya restaurant. These 3 chicken skewers are from different part of the chicken which is chicken thigh (Negima), chicken neck meat (Seseri) and chicken skin (Torikawa). I like Seseri and Torikawa the most. The chicken neck is grilled to perfection and the meat is juicy while the chicken skin is very crunchy. It is not oily at all.

Nagashi Somen- Rm27.90

Nagashi Somen is the highlight of Tsubohachi. It is a flowing Somen Noodle set come with some vegetables tempura. In Japan, the noodles are placed in a long flume of bamboo across the length of the restaurant. The flume contains clear and ice-cold mountain water. As the noodles pass by, diners have to catch the noodles with their chopsticks. But now, machines have been designed to replace the flume of bamboo. Well, it is actually quite fun like playing “masak-masak” while having meal.

Hokkai Kamameshi- Rm26.90

Hokkai Kamameshi is seafood pot rice which is also another highlight of the restaurant. It cooks on the spot on your dining table when you order this seafood pot rice. It takes 15 to 20minutes to cook it. I can’t resist of the seafood aroma when it is ready to be serve! Seafood include salmon, scallop and king crab!

Buta Hakusai Nabe- Rm29.90

Buta Hakusai Nabe is one of my favorite dishes in Tsubohachi. Pork belly and cabbage are arranged nicely layer by layer and cooked in the claypot. The soup is sweet and tasty. Dip it with their soy sauce will enhance your taste buds.

Hello beef lover! You should not miss Tsubohachi Saikoro Sureki! Very juicy diced beef steak served with Tsubohachi original sauce and corns. I love this so so much!

Matcha de Roru- Rm14.90

When comes to dessert time, Matcha de Roru is my favorite dessert among all. Match crepe skin wrap with red bean and vanilla ice-cream. Red bean and vanilla ice-cream are totally the perfect match.

When you visit a Japanese restaurant, every dessert is about green tea. How can you resist it? I am a big fans of green tea. This awesome Match Kakigori is served with green tea ice-cream and shaved ice.
