Baguio


Baguio's best Japanese restaurant feels like a cosy living room, with its handful of tables close together between wood-panelled walls decorated with tapestries, plants and colourful bottles. There's also a casual outdoor area. Choose from fresh sashimi, delicious ramen, well-presented tempura and classic sushi rolls. There are ice-cream confections for dessert. You'll definitely need to reserve in advance.
