After redeem the birthday promo at BHP petrol station, I headed to The Exchange TRX to celebrate my birthday at Sushi Kita 鮨きた @ SEIBU, which I had pre-booked a month in advance. Upon arriving at TRX, it took me some time to find the restaurant, which is actually located inside SEIBU. This month, they are also running a lucky draw promotion, offering a chance to win a round-trip ticket to Tokyo for two as the grand prize.
When seated, I ordered the Tan Omakase set from the menu, which included an appetizer, Cyawanmushi, eight types of sushi, one sushi roll, miso soup, and dessert.
The atmosphere was cozy and minimalist, creating a relaxing dining experience.
The meal started with tuna as my appetizer, followed by the chawanmushi.
Then came the highlight—the eight types of sushi.
My favorite was the otoro (大トロ), the fattiest and most luxurious part of bluefin tuna, which absolutely melted in my mouth.
Next was the sushi roll, which was extra special since I had mentioned my birthday when making the reservation. As a nice touch, they included a birthday special sushi roll, which isn’t included on regular days unless you book in advance as part of the birthday promotion, as shown below.
At last, the meal ended with miso soup and yuzu for dessert.
I also added a piece of Japanese oyster, one of my favorites, which wasn’t included in the omakase set.
The freshness of every dish made the experience truly enjoyable. Overall, I’d rate the experience 7.8 out of 10—everything was fresh, and the service was excellent.
The final bill came to RM260.70 after tax. (Bring back the receipt within 7 days to claim a 10% discount off your total bill at Sushi Kita and Yakiniku Botan+)
This is the most luxurious meal I’ve ever had, marking the perfect ending to my celebration of the hard work and effort I put into 2024. One area for improvement could be offering complimentary Shizuoka green tea with the omakase set. In Japan, green tea is often provided for free in restaurants, and including it here would be a nice gesture that enhances the dining experience.
