Fukuichi is tucked in a quiet corner of Orchard - Triple One Somerset is often a neglected place for me. Never knew that there are some great restaurants hidden there. Visited Fukuichi Japanese Restaurant yesterday to have a birthday dinner for Random W. I never knew there are some restaurants on the second level. Probably heading back there for dinner for a less-crowded but centralised gathering.
Here's some of the food we had:
Here's some of the food we had:

| Kani Tofu |
The cold appetiser - Kani Tofu – is actually tofu with crab meat in century egg sauce. I’ve never seen or tried this dish before in a Japanese restaurant. I am not a century egg lover but the sauce was done to perfection. It was not overpowering and went well with the fresh tofu and crab meat. The tofu simply melted in the mouth. This dish was a pleasant surprise and was very refreshing.

| Sushi Rolls |
Seared Salmon Roll
This was great and we ordered 2 plates of it. Mainly was due to the fact that the birthday girl was late and she ordered another plate to satisfy her cravings. This sushi roll was executed perfectly. The salmon was seared perfectly, bringing out a smoky smell and yet not overcooked. Perfect match with the other ingredients that was added to make the roll. Yummy!
Avocado Roll
We had high expectations to the presentation of this roll. We thought we would see a ‘caterpillar’ but we were disappointed. The avocado was fresh and sweet. For the vegetarian, please do not order as there is crab meat in this roll.
Seared White Tuna roll
Fukuichi really makes effort to display their dish. From the sushi roll, they put the sushi into small holder to bring out visual effect to the food. Like the Salmon roll, the tuna was not overcooked. However, we preferred the Salmon roll more.

| Cold Soba |
Wanted to order the Cold Fish Soba but in the end, we ordered the normal cold soba due to some error. The soba was chewy and nice.
 |
| Hotate Yaki |
Wanted to order the bamboo clams but it was not available. Thus, we opted for the Hotate Yaki (Scallops in Garlic Sauce). Not a bad choice after all. The scallop was grilled to perfection. Fresh is the word to describe the seafood at Fukuichi. Easy to chew and it really went well with the cheese. The Garlic and Butter made it more tasty and flavourful.

| Chawanmushi |
There are many types of Chawanmushi and we went for the normal one. It was not bad and there were crab meat, prawn and meat in it.
Forget to take the photo for the Ebi Almond Tempura. This dish was a pleasant surprise. The almond flakes were crispy and they did not fall off the Ebi when I dipped it in the sauce. The prawn was fresh, sweet and tender. For those who like almond, you could try this dish as this is quite special.
We also have the Yuzu Sparkling Sake. Sweet and nice and when you drink it, it does not taste like Sake. I guess that’s the dangerous part as you will unknowingly drank a lot!
Overall, Fukuichi is a nice place to eat and chill for a gathering. Will come back to this area soon!
