I was on the way home when Lynn called me for dinner. Since I had no dinner plans, we decided to have dinner together. My bus goes through Orchard, and she had some errands to run there. So we arranged to meet at Isetan Scotts. After roaming around a little, we decided to have dinner at Restaurant Hosihgaoka because there was an ongoing promotion for Hokkaido Wagyu beef.
We were both hungry and tired and ordered pretty quickly. Salmon belly sashimi, Wagyu shabu shabu, BBQ Wagyu slices, mixed tempura, Cha Soba for her, and Katsu Don for me. Our table was almost too small the the numerous things ordered by two seemingly harmless girls. I think the servers must have been shocked at the amount of food we ordered.
The sashimi was quite fresh and we enjoyed it. The tempura wasn't too oily, but we couldn't help comparing it to
Hokkaido Sushi Restaurant. We liked the Hokkaido's one better. The shabu shabu was pretty ok, but the soup got too cloyingly sweet towards the end. The BBQ Wagyu was better between the two. She liked her cha soba, I found the katsu don pretty normal.

Much better Japanese food than the usual chain stores such as Sakae, but of course, more painful on the pocket. Seeing there's better shabu shabu elsewhere, and the other things were okay, it's quite unlikely we'll intentionally return here. But if we are in the area and looking for dinner, sure, it's a nice place to dine in.
