Kaisen Gozen was insanely delicious! Both quantity and quality of this lunch set was extremely satisfying! Soup was amazing though it wasn't miso, so I don't know what to call it. The potato salad was terrific; I could taste Kewpie! The 2 boxes filled with assorted generous servings of sashimi, veggies, and rice were very fresh and delicious! Even the slimy sea urchin is noteworthy!
Budget here during lunch is near Php500 but you get what you pay for. There's no service charge and they serve refillable hot or cold tea. Restroom has an interesting toilet set-up. Restaurant is well-known for sashimi so make sure your tummy has a bit of food before you start eating raw.
Overall, this place is expensive but worth it and perfect for occasions and romantic dates, or regular casual visits if you have the purchasing power.
It reminds me of a classic Japanese izakaya in Shinjuku or the small bars in Toshima. There were a lot of Japanese expats who dine in which gives already a hint of its quality. The price is very reasonable compared to its neighboring competition (Kikufuji) albeit the serving size is smaller. The sahsimi were very fresh and firm. We really liked their spice hamachi maki the most. It had more fish and less rice which makes it good value. I would definitely go back!

The lunch boxes are already great value for money. Quality is the best one in Manila (and i eat a lot of Japanese food�) Order the Saba Mackerel, or the Chirashi lunch set. Then order an additional salmon sashimi �
