This was the S$100++ Japanese omakase, comprising (1) kampachi sashimi with sesame sauce, (2) sashimi platter of otoro, chutoro, amberjack, prawn, salmon, spicy diced salmon with roe, (3) qq gingko nut with salt, (4) creamy and light oyster, (5) tender grilled octopus with truffle mayo, (6) really warm, soft and textural prawn and tofu cake with water chestnut and radish with sour plum, (6) fried fish, (7) unctuous wagyu beef, fried potatoes and grilled mushrooms, (8) refreshing noodles with roe and (9) grape sorbet.
A more mainstream yakitori bar, really small with less than 10 seats and 2 sittings. The flavours were quite light, and the meats were tender and springy when they should be. Agreeable stuff, but nothing too earth shattering.
We finally secured a reservation at that place next door to Bistro Étroit (150 Orchard Road #01-37, 9644-2487).

Not sure if a return is quick on the cards but definitely good value and good entertainment.
The food at Kakiin is generally pretty good, and I can see myself coming back!
Jincha surprised me in terms of how bubble tea could still be refreshing and easy to drink even after adding soju.
Well, it is the best omakase in Orchard for sure! I will definitely be back!!!
The best ones were the cuts bearing skin and fat: the bonjiri above as well as the tebasaki wings. Of course it wasn't as good after spending time in transit home, but it was affordable, and he was really friendly.
