A Japanese Feast at Hotel Jen Manila's Kitsho

Hotel Jen Manila's Kitsho remains one of the best restaurants for authentic Japanese cuisine this side of the metro. And no visit or staycation at Hotel Jen Manila would be complete without dining at Kitsho.

Since the hotel's rebranding to Hotel Jen, the same high standards at Kitsho were maintained under the watchful eyes of Executive Japanese Chef Matsuhiro Mizumoto (for  more on Kitsho, see my previous post here). Sushi, sashimi, tempura, plus an extensive collection of sake, Kitsho satisfies any craving for Japanese food. 

And it was great to see Executive Japanese Chef Matsuhiro Mizumoto again, who made me try Blowfish or Fugu for the very first time early last year (more on that amazing Fugu dining experience on my earlier post here). With thirty years of experience tucked under his belt, and one of Manila's only licensed chefs certified to serve and prepare Fugu, Executive Japanese Chef Matsuhiro Mizumoto guarantees an authentic and memorable dining experience at Hotel Jen Manila's Kitsho.

And starting November 16, 2015 to January 3, 2016, you can enjoy a lavish and sumptuous buffet at Kitsho for only P 1,088 net per person for lunch and P 1,188 net per person for dinner. Buffet rates on December 24, 25, 31, 2015, and January 1, 2016 will be P 1,188 net and P 1,288 net for lunch and dinner respectively. The impressive spread at Kitsho includes a wide selection of fresh and premium Sashimi and Nigiri Sushi...

...and an equally extensive selection of Sushi Rolls, each freshly prepared with the finest ingredients.

Craving for beef? No worries, Kitsho's Beef Sushi Rolls with Asparagus should do the trick just fine.

Start your feast at Kitsho with a comforting bowl of Miso Soup before hitting the sushi and sashimi. The steaming hot bowl of Miso delivers mild yet rich notes, a perfect start to your Japanese feast at Kitsho.

The buffet also includes dishes from the ala carte menu, including Beef Sukiyaki with thin slices of premium tender beef and vegetables in a mildly sweet broth.

Then, kick up your feast up a notch with Kitsho's Ebi Tempura, plump prawns in a delicate, light and crisp batter. The light batter allows you to taste more of the prawn, making each crisp bite burst with the familiar briny sweetness of the plump prawn. Kitsho also offers other seafood items like Tuna Teppan, Salmon Teppan, Shrimp with Chili Sauce, Shrimp Fry, Oyster Fry, Squid Fry, White Fish Fry, Salmon Croquette, and Squid Tempura.

A dish of Kara-age, Japanese style Fried Chicken, with richly seasoned juicy chicken capped by an outer layer of crispy skin, adds even more flavors to the feast.

Fresh from Kitsho's Teppan Grill, one can choose from a variety of tasty options, including Beef Teppan, tender cubes of premium beef with vegetables...


...and Chicken Teriyaki, with tender and juicy chicken draped in a sweet teriyaki glaze served with vegetables. Other dishes include Pork Teppan, Tonkatsu, Chicken Katsu, Meat Croquette, Pork Saute with Ginger, and Katsuni.

And when you just got to have some noodles, Kitsho's Yakisoba, thick wheat noodles with vegetables and seafood, completes your buffet feast at Kitsho. Fresh, authentic, and full of flavor, Kitsho's buffet offers both variety and value, a winning combination for the holidays.  

But save room for dessert. And the dirtier the better. Go for Hotel Jen Manila's indulgent Dirty Milkshakes, in Banana Caramel Popcorn, Strawberry, and Chocolate. Rich and creamy, not too sweet, Hotel Jen Manila's Dirty Milkshakes ends your buffet feast on a sweet note (for more on Hotel Jen Manila, see my previous post here). Hungry for Japanese?
