When we get offered too many choices, we shut down.
The same thing happens whenever I go to Publika, I've always wonder what to choose to have since this place is overloaded with many good restaurants and cafes.
Ya right, I do have a serious phobia of choosing or making decisions. #lol
Anyway, today's post is about a new authentic Japanese restaurant located at Publika which just opened like 3 months ago. #claphands #welcome





Headquarter in Hokkaido Japan, Tsubohachi Izakaya Hokkaido finally landed in Malaysia.
It is a popular Japanese restaurant in Japan with more than 300 outlets, a very huge number isn't!?
At here, customers not only can taste the authentic Japanese food, they can also gather for various types of drinks on their menu.
Read till the end of the post to discover what are the delicious drinks they have. #hehe



There is an indoor and outdoor dining area, with the style of the Japanese ambiance feel.
The indoor dining area has painted with earth-tone colours, meanwhile the space is decorated with wooden normal chairs and tables, and red lanterns on the ceiling.



There are more and more restaurants embracing the open kitchen concept, so does Tsubohachi!
 

One of the interior decoration caught my attention is the three wooden bathtubs located in the middle of the restaurant.
It looks so adorable and definitely stand out from the crowd!



Besides, Tsubohachi also owns a few traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats on the floor.
For any gathering purpose, you may book these rooms in advance to enjoy your privacy moments.



So, are you ready to nom with me? Let's get this started with the appetizers.
Nankotsu Karaage @ RM18.90; these look like french fries, indeed they are deep fried chicken bone.



Eihire @ RM12.90 is a grilled ray fin, dip with mayonnaise sauce.
Very chewy texture and I suggest you to munch it together with alcohols. :)



Tsubohachi has it's special salad named Ramen Salada @ RM16.90.
It includes noodle, lettuce, onion, slice fried egg, cucumber, bacon, leek, carrot, cherry tomatoes and drizzles with sesame dressing.
Don't you think it looks like the Chinese Yu Sheng?! #hehe



At first, I thought this is a kind of dessert, but I was wrong.
Poteta Mentaiko Yaki @ RM13.90 is the Hokkaido style mashed potato.
It is a bit disappointing because it's too oily for me, probably because it is a deep fried dish.



Ontama Tsukune Teppanyaki @ RM12.90, is grilled minced chicken with one half boiled egg, and serve in a hot pan.
The texture is like the classic Cantonese style steamed pork patty.
It can be one of my favourite if it serves without the half boiled egg (I don't take any half boiled eggs) . #lol 



Poteto Mentaiko Yaki @ RM13.90 is another potato dish in the restaurant.
It also serves in a hot plate as well with a mixed of potatoes, seasoned cod roe, cheese and mayonnaise.



There are many Yakitori choices at Tsubohachi, while I will only highlight 3 of them for today.
Negima @ RM7.80 for 2 sticks which includes the chicken thigh and onion.



Torikawa @ RM7.80 for 2 sticks.
They grilled the chicken skin until crispy and tasty, awesome!



Seseri is chicken neck meat, which also cost RM7.80 with 2 sticks.
All the grilled Yakitori are very juicy, and smelled heavenly!



Tsubohachi has some traditional grilled seafood all the way from Japan to you too.
Karei Karaage @ RM42.50 is a fabulous deep fried flounder.
No worries about the fish bones, because the bones can be eaten as well.
For a big fish lover like me, I almost can eaten the whole fish by myself! #nokidding



Another grilled seafood is Hokke Hiraki @ RM52.90.
This grilled Atka Mackerel is better and suggest to eat with alcohol, or else you will find it tastes way tooooo salty!



Tonpeiyaki @ RM12.90 is my most favourite because it has all my favourite of omlett, sliced pork and cabbage. Thumbs up for this!


Sake No Chanchan Yaki @ RM21.50, looks like Teppanyaki because it has vegetables at the bottom of salmon on a hot plate.
