🍣 Quirky Japanese Spot in Helsinki: Where Drinks Meet Bites (and Soy Sauce Ice Cream) Tucked on Albertinkatu, this Japanese joint plays with labels: "Drink&Eat" for booze-focused vibes, "Eat&Drink" for meals. We booked the latter—here’s what went down: 📍 Address：Albertinkatu 38, 00180 Helsinki 🌟 Vibe：Split into drinking and dining zones; smart to reserve online for "Eat&Drink". 🍚 Starters That Pack a Punch Crispy Rice (€12.9) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fried rice cake base, topped with avocado-salmon salad. Tasty AF, but gone in 3 bites—order two if hungry. Yakitori Chicken (2 pcs, €8.9) My mistake: Thought it was "torikawa" (chicken skin) or "tsumire" (meatballs), but it’s just classic chicken skewers. Juicy, but not the viral "lantern" I’d seen online. Beef Tataki (€13.9) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seared outer layer, raw center. Zero gamey taste—perfect for raw beef fans, but skip if squeamish. 🍴 Mains: Crunchy Pork vs. Comforting Kimchi Tonkatsu (€18) Golden-fried pork cutlet, super crispy—but gets dry halfway through. Dip in tonkatsu sauce, stat. Kimchi Pork Bowl (€24) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friend’s order: Tender braised pork in kimchi broth, served over rice. Salty, spicy, comforting—10/10 would steal. 🍨 Desserts: Soy Sauce vs. Yuzu Showdown Soy Sauce Ice-cream & Chocolate Cake (€9) Curiosity order: Ice cream tastes more milky than salty, paired with dense chocolate cake. Heavy, but interesting. Yuzu Sorbet & Raspberry (€9) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zingy yuzu sorbet + fresh raspberries—refreshing AF. Makes the soy ice cream feel so heavy in comparison. 💡 Pro Tips Order Strategy：Get Crispy Rice, Beef Tataki, and Kimchi Bowl for a balanced meal. Dessert Rule：Always choose yuzu over soy sauce—trust me. Portion Alert：Snacks are small; order multiple to fill up. 📝 Final Bite Fun for experimental eats (soy sauce ice cream, anyone?), but stick to classic Japanese dishes for real satisfaction. #JapaneseCuisine #HelsinkiEats #SoySauceIceCream #TatakiLove
