The Kin no Mizu restaurant caught my eye as the lone restaurant on the highest floor in the building. The electric blue exterior was a modern touch to an otherwise traditional Japanese dining experience. I went ahead and ordered one of my Japanese favourites and something different: the Dobin Mushi (Seasoned Clear Soup in Tea Pot), RM28; and the Unagyu Don (Eel and Beef Combination Don), RM65.My appetizer, the Dobin Mushi, was immaculately dressed with really, really great quality ingredients.

My appetizer, the Dobin Mushi, was immaculately dressed with really, really great quality ingredients. A large tiger prawn, scallop, fish, chicken and Japanese Matsukake mushrooms steamed inside this traditional seafood broth. That’s a lot of expensive ingredients all squished into that little tea-pot. So each tiny cup was packed with so much flavour that you can accent with a squeeze of lemon! Most tea pot soups from other restaurants are filled only with Matsukake mushrooms and cute Naruto fishcakes and bits of chicken. So really, this one was quite extravagant for its modest price.
Right after that, my Unagyu Don was on its way! This isn’t something I order a lot but I guess I was really craving Unagi that night. When it arrived, I was not let down! As I opened the little box, the Unagi glistened in its caramelized glaze and the beef, so rich and aromatic, was accompanied by some lovely Japanese mushrooms. Again, this place isn’t stingy with its portions. Sitting on a bed of rice there was a lot of Unagi and great quality beef inside this box. The side of miso soup was filled with lots of wakame (sea mustard leaves) and tofu. As the aroma wafted across the table, I dug in.
It was one of my better meals. I like the place a lot. The ambience was a wonderful accompaniment to a delicious meal. Thank you, Kin no Mizu for such a relaxing night after a tiring work day. Next time, I’ll be back for more!
