This Japanese restaurant was recommended by the driver in the South Island. Although I like Japanese food, I feel a little uncomfortable eating it in New Zealand... After experiencing it myself, I completely relieved my concerns, because the two best features of this restaurant are actually plus points!
1. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows
We staggered the lunch rush hour, and we were lucky to be arranged directly to the window seat after arriving at the restaurant. In the distance was the super healing milky blue Lake Tekapo, and we could even see the famous Internet celebrity attraction-the Church of the Good Shepherd~~~~~~~
2. Fresh salmon
There are two relatively large salmon breeding bases in the South Island, one of which is not far from the town of Tekapo. They live in an environment of snow-capped mountain meltwater and can be called "noble species", so the salmon dishes here are also super cost-effective!
Kohan Bento (Lakeside Bento): The restaurant's signature must-order set meal, with 4 large plates containing sashimi (salmon, tuna), pork chop + fried shrimp salad, tamagoyaki + fried salmon cubes, steamed rice, kimchi side dishes, etc., very rich.
Pork katsu (Japanese fried pork chop): A very "solid" pork chop, not only big but also very thick! Paired with vegetable and fruit salad, dipped in black pepper sauce, it feels like a good afternoon tea with a cup of coffee~~~~~~~
Tempura Combination (Assorted Tempura): There are several kinds of seafood and vegetable tempura such as salmon, cucumber, prawns, green and red peppers, etc., dipped in a specially prepared sauce is simply the icing on the cake!
Agedashi Tofu (Japanese fried tofu): Tender tofu is coated with a thin layer of batter and deep-fried until the skin peels off. It is served with a specially prepared, delicious and fragrant sauce. It is a snack before the meal. Let’s learn about it~~~~~~~
After the meal, you can walk to the lakeside and take in the scenery. The scenery here is unique!
