Just recently, I got acquainted with the newly-opened Japanese restaurant named Izakaya Sensu located somewhere in Bonifacio Global City and I would have thought of going with my family and friends in the near future but out of the blue a special someone offered me a post- birthday lunch treat: an amazing opportunity to try out this resto just the two of us. We both have the same set of taste buds for Japanese food -sushi in particular. We think it’s fresh, healthy and absolutely delicious. We ordered some blockbuster dishes and some morsels of goodness. I have to say, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! The Sushi is very good. I like sushi made in different ways from each other and I have not found a roll I did not like. The food selection is good, pricing seems decent, and the customer service is over the top. A must for any Japanese food lover.
Of course, Izakaya experience is not complete without checking out its adjacent bar called Chotto Matte. I was told it means "wait a minute" in Japanese. I failed to ask why they dubbed it such but I think the idea here is to slow down and have a drink or two. And this is why Chotto Matte is open from lunch till dinner. I went with the morning after cocktails line of beverages. I ordered Chotto Americano a conconction of Belsazar red vermouth, Campari, herbal tonic, and orange zest. My drink had a stronger fruit taste and I liked it! I think I got a kick out of it a bit too much as I didn't even realize that I gulped down the whole mug in a shorter period of time than the usual. I heard that this is also one of the bestselling drinks and after finishing one, I figure out why. Yet I have come to know my limits more intuitively so I chose not to order a second glass.
As a whole, I guess, the resto/bar's relaxed vibe and cozy atmosphere would be a good watering hole for "Titas of Manila" (a term used by my gracious friend) who would like to chill out, experience a uncommon ambience and sip something different.
I just love the place. We'll definitely be back to try more! Right? 😊😊 It's my treat next time babe.:)
