Japanese Restaurants in Resorts World Manila: MR. KUROSAWA in Newport Mall is serving Euro-Japanese Fusion Food

"Mr. Kurosawa Euro-Japanese hits its 3^rd year of operations (for the Eastwood branch) and 2^nd year (for the Resorts World Manila branch)."  

"Inspired by the late Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, the flagship restaurant opened last February 12, 2009 at the ground floor of the Eastwood Mall, Libis, Quezon City, promising a new concept in fusion restaurant dining which is a notch higher than what the founders had done before – Japanese cuisine with a touch of European flair." 

"The concept doesn't end with the food itself, but with the whole package of the restaurant, as it is completely true to what it promises to be. The bold architectural design of the interiors that generates hip ambiance and chic atmosphere exhibited through red velvet curtains, dark furniture and orange bricked walls which are pretty much very European, with stark accents of purple and red through the unlikely combined chopsticks-inspired wall design, the cleverly designed backlit posters hanging on the ceiling with animal skin patterns as displays that are very contemporary mixed up with classic samurai and geisha graphics, the wide mirrors giving a spacious illusion to the place, and the music that has touches of the sound of the Tokyo Fashion District, make the diners feel the amazing clash of the east and the west." The interior and the ambiance makes Mr. Kurosawa Japanese Restaurant a great party place for friends and family :)

"Mr. Kurosawa has found an extension of its home, the 2^nd Floor of Newport Mall, Resorts World Manila, Pasay City. The people behind it promise to give more of what it had given before more than what is only seen by the eyes – excellent food, unparalleled value for money and passion for outstanding service."

"Set to raise the bar this year, the 3 chefs behind the success of Mr. Kurosawa are ready to serve you 3 new items this first quarter of the year:"


KATSU
1. Fish Katsu (Php 268)
2. Shrimp Katsu (Php 398)
3. Ebi Katsu with Wasabi Mango Mayo (Php 398)
4. Tonkatsu or Torikatsu (Php 288)

BUBBLE MILK TEA

2. White Forest or Sanjuru (Winter Melon Milk Tea)
3. Rhapsody in Spring or Yojimbo (Matcha Milk Tea)

CHICKEN
1. Last Samurai Chicken Wings (Php 298)

FISH KATSU (Php 268)

Fish lovers will love this fried dory - crispy on the outside, juicy inside!

It comes with fries, salad and spicy ebiko mayo.

SHRIMP KATSU or EBI SINJU (Php 398)

The shrimp pancakes come in 5 pcs. 

I just love how they made the patties with the mix of chopped shrimps, veggies and bread crumbs.

The chili plum sauce is the perfect partner! :)

super yummy!!!

EBI FRY or EBI KATSU with WASABI MANGO MAYO (Php 398)

This dish comes with 5 pcs of fried shrimps.

It was like eating huge "camarons."

It was so crunchy that I ate all part of it - even the tail!

The sauce was surprisingly NOT spicy. 
It tasted more like MANGO MAYO with a hint of wasabi :)

(perfectly safe for kids)

TONKATSU (Pork Katsu - Php 288)

or

TORIKATSU (Chicken Katsu - Php 288)

The tonkatsu-torikatsu dish is served with a 3-way sauce:

spicy ebiko mayo, tonkatsu sauce, wasabi mayo

I tried the pork and chicken, which are both good but the torikatsu made a more lasting impression on me.

The breading was fried to a golden brown finish, locking all the juice of the chicken fillet in.

FYI, this is served with Japanese coleslaw salad and  rice (plain gohan or Japanese fried rice)

TIP: Mix the ebiko mayo and tonkatsu sauce. Dunk the katsu. 
Eat and enjoy! 

(Left to Right) Sanjuru, Sakura, Yojimbo 

(Regular Php 65-70; Large Php 95-100)

All drinks come with chewy sago (tapioca) 
and cut crytals (nata de coco)

SANJURU or WinterMelon Milk Tea

This is Assam Black Tea mixed with powdered milk and sugar syrup. 
Mildly sweet. Very refreshing!

Sakura or Strawberry Yakult Milk Tea

The sweet smell of strawberries brought delight to my senses. 
The strawberry iced tea was carefully blended with Assam black tea and yakult which gave it a sweet tangy taste.
YUMMY to the last drop.

Yojimbo or Matcha Milk Tea

Imagine green tea ice cream with red beans put together in a drink.. yep! That's Yojimbo!

LAST SAMURAI CHICKEN WINGS (Php 298)

Think Japanese Chicken Bonchon!!!

Four HUGE yummy chicken wings were deep-fried in a special sauce, dipped in corn syrup and Korean sauce with peanuts on top.

This was the favorite among the group! ♥♥♥

It's amazing how the chickens stay crunchy even after an hour :)
