Marusaya
If you’re in or around Robertson Quay, a highly recommended food joint is Marusaya, named after the Dashi Master himself. Authentic Japanese cuisine using all natural dashi is what Marusaya specializes in. The best part is that the Katsuobushi used to make the delicious dashi broth takes almost two years to process. Be it lunch or dinner, you will always go home with your buttons threatening to pop out. Although, we do recommend making a reservation for a heavenly meal of A5 Miyaszaki Wagyu Premium Dashi Shabu or the Iberico Pork Premium Shabu. Image Credit: Marusaya Website
