Edited 1/12/2014: Note that Kashin Japanese Restaurant is now under new management, with a different menu. Sadly you will no longer find the delicious chilli-infused food here. Kashin is now a boring, stock-standard Japanese diner.
If you take stroll along the row of shops in Gordon you’ll probably miss this understated restaurant, but what it lacks in presence it makes up for in flavour.
Kashin‘s kitchen is run by a master sushi chef whose only interaction with us is a booming “irasshaimase!” from behind his counter, and his delightful smiling wife, who potters out to greet us with a bow. Their daughter takes over and seats at a table near the window – she is friendly and chatty, and enthusiastically nods with all our menu choices. All of three of them are the most gracious hosts, and kindly offer a taste of their favourite sake on the house, as well as an appetiser to whet our taste buds.
