A place where I am perfectly in love with. The Table @ Isetan Lot 10 is one of my favorite place to dine but now they have more than that. Early this month, Kirin Ichiban collaborated with he Table, Isetan Lot 10 to specially curate Japanese cuisines made from premium and authentic seasonal ingredients, designed specially to complement Kirin Ichiban.
And this time , they have a celebration of the finest Japanese beer and they are brought to life in a Japanese Cultural Setting.

Kirin Ichiban manifests the authentic tastes of Japanese beer crafted to appeal to the palate, and it pairs elegantly with Japanese cuisines.
And being one of my favorite Japanese food dining place, The Table @ Isetan Lot 10 featuring six exquisite restaurant which are Toriden, Touan, Yakiniku Toraji, Tonkatsu Anzu, Sushi Azabu and The Tokyo Restaurant. All well known for offering Japanese cuisines made from premium and authentic ingredients, created by experienced Japanese chefs.
Some of the participants for the event includes
1) Touan
Winter brings the best yellowtail to the table as it is fattier and more hearty. Skillfully charcoal grilled and marinated in sweet teriyaki sauce, the yellowtail is quietly balanced with the sweet, crisp and mild flavours of the daikon. Even better when it is paired with the flavours Kirin Ichiban has to offer, bringing out the right balance of both Kirin Ichiban and the dish.
Snow Crab Tamagoyaki
Sweet yet savory, Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) makes a delightful dish. When topped with snow crab that is lightly seasoned to bring out the freshness and natural sweetness of the dish. With a light and crisp profile, Kirin Ichiban is the perfect match for both of Touan’s winter inspired dishes.
2) Toriden
Soup: Chicken Dumpling with Collagen Chicken Soup
Take a sip of the delicious, wholesome white chicken broth before you start your meal. Slow-boiled for more than six hours with a fresh whole chicken extracting its full flavours and natural collagen. Relish the juicy chicken dumpling made using Toriden’s unique recipe that mixes chicken gizzard with cabbage for better texture and flavour.
Truffle with Toriden Tamago (Soft Boiled Egg with Chicken Miso)
Placed on a spread of chicken miso and topped with slices of truffle, the toriden tamago, a soft-boiled egg served cold is cooked to perfection revealing a perfectly runny yolk when sliced open.
Matsukaze Yaki
Matsukaze-yaki, commonly known as a flat meatloaf of minced chicken. A winter inspired dish, the chef at Toriden has used burdock root or more commonly known as Gobo in Japan to bring out the best of the root vegetable.
3) The Tokyo Restaurant
Cold Capellini with Sea Urchin
Inspired by the restaurant’s contemporary menu of a mix of cuisines, the Cold Capellini with Sea Urchin is the best of Western and Japanese cuisine.
A generous portion of somen noodles coated with shiso flowers, clam juice, ginger and bonito broth creating a jello-like consistency.
To complement the dish, the noodles are topped with fresh sea urchin from Hokkaido, the best of this winter season.
The playful creative flavours put together in this dish is a treat to the palette especially when paired with the smooth and rich flavours of Kirin Ichiban.
4) Anzu
Scallop Katsu
Instead of the usual chicken katsu, Anzu brings you the best scallops found during this winter season, flown all the way from Aomori, Japan. Like most Katsu dishes, this dish is best paired with a glass of pure and smooth taste of Kirin Ichiban with nicely balanced flavours without overpowering one another.
