Sumo Sam (Trinoma)

Last night, beloved and I ate at Sumo Sam. Beloved was craving for sashimi and sukiyaki last night, and our choice was this or another somewhat-newly opened restaurant called Kimpura. We decided to go here because the latter was a bit intimidating with most of their patrons wearing a formal attire. This newly-opened Japanese restaurant apparently specializes in "steak, seafood, and sushi". We did manage to get a peek of their menu, and saw that their prices was way steeper than the usual Japanese resto. However, hoping quality and quantity was better, perhaps on par with that of Sakura, we went in.

Their menu was heavy, literally and figuratively. Nothing's cheap, but there's a lot of stuff you don't usually find in other Japanese restaurants. What caught my attention the most was the fact that they serve Wagyu beef. It doesn't come cheap, though—around a thousand per hundred grams. The first and last time I ate Wagyu beef was in my childhood, but I still remember that heavenly sweet taste, and divine melt-in-your-mouth texture. Since I didn't plan on going back here after seeing their menu in its entirety, I decided to order their Wagyu beef in burger form—Wagyu Burger (528 Php) whith three kinds of mushrooms and onion rings on the side. Beloved, as she was craving for sashimi and sukiyaki, ordered them, which happens to be in the menu. Their Sukiyaki was 369 Php and the Assorted Sashimi was priced 378 Php. We also ordered green and red iced tea for ourselves (98 Php each).
