We were gathered together for Gladys's birthday, at the restaurant of her choice, Rakuichi Japanese Restaurant @Dempsey. Thanks to Gladys for the recommendation! We enjoyed our food and the different twist from the typical Japanese set(s) you can get elsewhere. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised.
However, it can get slightly cramped and stuffy for big group gathering (especially when the air-con was not functioning very well that day). Also partly due to their limited seating capacity and the layout of the restaurant.

Assorted Salad - fried fish skin with fresh veggies. Kind of an interesting combination. Gone in split seconds!
Raw Fish of the Day - No doubt freshness and appropriate sliced thickness are the key for palatable sashimi. *grin*
Our Choice: "Set C" for 2 persons to share, cos' we had breakfast prior to this.
1 average person can also attempt to finish this entire set for a very hearty brunch/meal.

Zooming into the individual dishes..
Cold soba was already put into the light sauce and topped with wasabi and seaweed thin slices when served. Helped to cleanse my palate and at the same time filling my stomach with the right amount of carbohydrates.

Assorted Semi-Grilled Sushi Platter - I'm not usually a sushi person but it's superb beyond words! You wish you could gobble down the whole piece of sushi at once!
Wagyu Beef Skewer (right) & Chicken Skewer (left) - The wagyu beef skewer was soft and appropriately matched with light black pepper sauce, while the chicken skewer was average.
Seafood & Vegetables Tempura - Nothing to nitpick.
Dessert was a nice single scoop of kuro goma (black sesame) ice-cream. One of my favourite Japanese ice-cream flavours, but this one fared alright. Would prefer something more refined in taste and less grainy in texture.
[ My Verdict ]: Though a little pricey, it is still worth coming back whenever craving for a different flair in Japanese sets.
