If any of you know Manpuku, you'd been devastated as much as I when they closed down. Well good news! They just re-opened a week ago under the name DaiTokyo. This new restaurant is a combination of both Manpuku and Kushigin, serving both menus under one roof.
Location wise, it's squeezed within Melawai (Blok M Square) a few rukos away from Kira-Kira Ginza, right next to Optik Seis. It's under the same group of Daisei, who manages Kira-Kira Ginza, Ichigo Ichie, Jurin, Manpuku, Kushigin, and Ramen 38.
Here's the review of the restaurant:
The Menu
The interior
Interior wise, we enjoyed sitting in the simple Japanese inspired rooms. Two levels, the top level sits those who want to grill meat on their tables and ground level have standard tables and chairs placed in 'cage'-like spaces. If you want more privacy, sit on the ground floor.
Hourenso Butter
Rp. 35.000,-
The best hourenso butter you could find in town. You can taste the richness of the butter. Lol. Cholesterol much.
Yukari Gohan
Rp. 16.000,-
Salty rice with seaweed sprinkles.
We ordered:
Negishiotan
Rp.75.000,-
It's a gyutan or beef tongue. All of the meats here were marinated for hours so you can definitely eat it straight without any dippings or if it's too salty for you, you can always dip it in the lemon that they provide.
Roast
Rp.75.000,-
Simply tasteful. The beef meat was marinated and it gives you a very delightful flavour. It's also pretty tender.
Buta Tan
Rp.55.000,-
Pork tongue. They cut it in big slice so it tastes different with the negishiotan. It's juicy and yummy.
Butabara
Rp.40.000,-
Pork meat. Very delicious, mouth watering and fatty.
Overall it was a delightful experience after a long wait for Manpuku to re-open. Would I eat here again? Definitely. Health-considerations, I'll give myself a week or two wait before I start taking friends here.
