In 2014,
Rosanjin Japanese Restaurant opened in
SM Mega Fashion hall to offer affordable modern Japanese meals.
The name
Rosanjin is inspired by the famous potter, painter and gourmet chef.
Thus, you can tell from its namesake that
Rosanjin is particular with
its food, interior, service and even the kitchenware they use.
Where else can you find Japanese umbrellas hanged on the ceiling?
Food
Vegetables
 |
Kani Salad (280 php) |
Starting with a delicious yet healthy Kani Salad.
 |
♥ Tofu Salad (200 php) |
But, if you want to go out of the ordinary, I highly recommend the Tofu Salad. The silken soft tofu bricks, tomatoes, bonito flakes, nori, green onions with sweet and sour sesame dressing and a sprinkle of lemon may seem unappealing at first, but try it and you'll be as amazed as we were.
Sushi
 |
California Roll (150 php) |
The California Roll is a common favorite but I'd pass up on this and go for the specialties.
Tobanyaki
 |
♥ Australian Rib Steak (380 php) |
What really sets Ronsajin a notch higher than the typical
Japanese places is their specialty Tobanyaki and Kaminabe. The
Tobanyaki is the modern style of cooking teppanyaki. It literally means "to roast on a earthen ware".
 |
♥ Australian Rib Steak (380 php) |
I like the concept because it's fun and entertaining to watch as you food gets cooked right infront of you. And the best part is, I'd like to believe that food especially these succulent juicy soft Australian Rib Steak are at optimal as we ate them as soon as they were sizzling and cooked to our preferred wellness. If you can't time then, don't worry as you have your own personal server to assist you.
 |
♥ Chicken Cheeseyaki (280 php) |
I'm usually a beef more than meat person. But, the Chicken Cheeseyaki can't be pushed aside either.
 |
♥ Chicken Cheeseyaki (280 php) |
There's just something about the melted cheese and flavorful sauce that made the Chicken Cheeseyaki everyone's top choice.
 |
Salmon Butteryaki (280 php) |
Seafood lovers will also rejoice with the Salmon Butteryaki. Thinly sliced, this cooks pretty fast so pay attention.
 |
♥ Buri Teriyaki (450 php) |
I have a confession to make, I ate most of
Buri Teriyaki! I love Hamachi Sashimi, but this is even better.
 |
♥ Jumbo Scallop Butteryaki (450 php) |
The Jumbo Scallop Butteryaki is a must try! Imagine huge fresh scallops topped with uni and roe swimming in butter and sizzling before you're eyes... Yeah! I'm drooling right now at just the thought of it.
Kaminabe
 |
♥ Sukiyaki Kaminabe Regular (350 php) |
Another specialty is their kaminabe which literally translate to paper hot pot. This is the first time I've tried this unique Japanese style of cooking. Can you believe that it uses ordinary paper and it doesn't get burned by the flame beneath it? According to the owner Mr. Ken, the sukiyaki here in the Philippines is usually tweaked to be sweeter and more watery than in Japan. But, I liked their Sukiyaki Kaminabe has a mild sweetness so you can still appreciate the natural taste of the other ingredients.
 |
♥ Seafood Kaminabe Regular (450 php) |
The Seafood Kaminabe has a soy based broth which I liked more than the sweet sukiyaki broth. See how they don't scrimpt on ingredients? There's jumbo scallop, large shrimp, thick buri slices and veggies.
 |
Shrimp Kaminabe Regular (400 php) |
If you're a miso broth lover, the Shrimp Kaminabe is for you.
Dessert
 |
Green Tea Pudding (150 php) |
The Green Tea Pudding topped with red beans is a great meal-ender.
 |
Apple and Cheese Gyoza (250 php) |
Order the
Apple and Cheese Gyoza for sharing.
Drinks
 |
Bottomless Iced Tea (100 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I really enjoyed my very first
Kaminabe and
Tobanyaki experience at
Rosanjin. I highly recommend it! I'll be back with the family for sure!
