I believe that place is purposely designed that way so that respective tenants could renovate later on to suit each own taste.... That's my guess anyway.

kinda my thought too since it looks so boxy which offers dynamics

A typical Japanese restaurant, like in Roponggi

By VIVIENNE PAL
KL Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant
Block B, Lot 2A Chulan Square
92, Jalan Raja Chulan
50200 Kuala Lumpur

Tel: 03-2145 6200

Business Hrs: Daily, Lunch (11.30am-3pm); Dinner (6pm-11pm)

Halal, although sake and shochu are sold at the premises

At Rakuzen, one can opt to dine in traditional Japanese style in a cosy corner of the restaurant.
WITH the slate of Japanese restaurants claiming authenticity of the highest order in the Klang Valley, one wonders how true these claims are.

The acid test, however, is what Japanese diners say about the restaurant and whether they keep coming back.

"Our Japanese patrons have commented that when they dine here, they feel like they are in one of the typical Japanese restaurants back in Roponggi or Shibuya. To me, that's a real compliment," said Daisho Food (M) Sdn Bhd sales development director Atsushi Miyagawa.

"Typical" no longer means waiters clad in Japanese getup and Japanese music streaming from the speakers, nor does it mean backdated layout. These days, restaurants in Japan are aesthetically contemporary while retaining authenticity in the food, said Miyagawa.

Recently opened at Chulan Square, Rakuzen's ambience brings from Japan the latest in restaurant interior design. Classic lines and colours dominate, complemented by creative use of space to accentuate roominess and accommodate a large crowd, while at the same time maintaining privacy.

Culinary-wise, there is no compromise. Backed by years of experience, executive chefs Takahiro Kinoshita and Yoshikatsu Taira stay on the beaten path of authentic Japanese cooking.

"We do not try to localise the taste of the food here at Rakuzen. All our ingredients are from Japan, and although we come up with our own creations, the food is authentically Japanese," said Kinoshita.

The Senraku Sashimi Moriawase offers associated sashimi for at least two diners.
Though the two chefs specialise in different Japanese culinary styles, they complement each other well in the kitchen and agree on the kinds of dishes to recommend to diners.

For starters, there is refreshing Sushiya no Sakusaku Sappari Salada, a lovely tossing of seafood and greens with special Rakuzen dressing made of mayonnaise, oil, miso and blended vegetable.

The Jumbo Chawanmushi Kaisen Ankake is a nice blend of soft steamed egg with shark's fin, scallops, prawns and crabmeat. This comes with a top layer of clear, flavourful broth.

Of course, what is a Japanese meal without raw seafood dipped in soy sauce and wasabi? The Senraku Sashim Moriawase is where connoisseurs can judge the worth of a Japanese restaurant: through the freshness of the raw tuna belly, salmon, scallop and squid, among others.

A popular dish with both local and Japanese diners is the Dragon Roll, in which crispy fried prawn is wrapped in seaweed and rice, and topped with avocado slices.

Then there is the Inaniwa Udon for the noodle-lover. The udon is cooked, then immediately dipped and eaten with cold gravy garnished with radish, wasabi, raw quail egg, ginger, spring onions and seaweed.

For something more cooked, try the Hotate no Misomayo Yaki (grilled scallop with miso and mayonnaise), topped with springy hon shimeiji mushrooms.

Other dishes to try include the Sashimi to Unagi Zen (sashimi and roasted eel set) and Bizen 12piece Sushi Moriawase (12-piece assorted sushi).

For dessert, try the refreshing, citrus Yuzu Sorbet to cleanse the palate. Alternatively, if you are into a richer flavour, go for the Goma Ice (black sesame ice cream).

A wide selection of sake and shochu is served at Rakuzen. Some white and red wines as well as other non-alcoholic beverages are served there as well.

I don't think that building is part of Chulan Square... If i'm not mistaken, it belongs to Karyaneka...

Oh thats cool... Finally Eden has moved in to Chulan Square... Must give the restaurants there a try someday...

***szehoong*** · May 25th, 2005, 06:51 AM
