Cebu can now boast as one of the best places in the country to enjoy different types of cuisines. We’ve all tried doing a food trip, but when was the last time you tried a Japanese Food Trip?

The Queen City of the South has many of the best restaurants, like the Japanese dining brands that entrepreneur Hubert Young brought to the Philippines. “We have a very good market for Japanese cuisine in Cebu. The restaurants that we have brought here like CoCo Ichibanya, Mitsuyado Sei-men, and UCC Clockwork have all been met with enthusiastic responses, showing that Filipinos love authentic Japanese dishes,” Young said.

So we did a ‘Japanese food crawl’ at the Bonifacio District and tried all 3 Japanese brands. Here’s what we can say:

CoCo ICHIBANYA, the Number One Japanese Curry House in the World

Believe it or not, Curry is one of the most popular dishes in Japan. And for most of us who have probably tried only the chicken yellow curry dish in our lifetime, curry has many variants, colors and spiciness. And the Japs are so crazed about curry that there’s even a fastfood dedicated for curry. And that’s CoCo ICHIBANYA, the World’s Number One Japanese Curry House.

&nsbp;

At CoCo ICHIBANYA, you can take your pick from various authentic Japanese curry dishes—chicken, pork, beef, and vegetables. You can even choose the level of spiciness of your curry. If it’s your first time to try, don’t be afraid to ask for recommendation or just get the house specialty.

Servings at CoCo ICHIBANYA are big, and they also offer set menus for a choice of 2, 3, or 4 items.

Authentic Japanese Tsukemen & Ramen Choices At Mitsuyado Sei-men

Mitsuyado Sei-men specializes in Tsukemen (thick dipping noodles), which you can enjoy with the dipping sauce and topping of your choice. Their popular dishes include Yuzu Tsukemen, Double Cheese Tsukemen, and Karashi Tsukemen.

All the noodles at Mitsuyado Sei-men are freshly made using premium ingredients and are dipped into a rich and savory sauce, or served in a flavorful broth. Enjoy any dishes with Gyoza, Chicken Karaage, or Spicy Tuna (highly recommend).

Distinct Japanese-Style Coffees and Delicious Dishes at UCC Clockwork

UCC is one of the first Japanese food concepts that was introduced into the Philippines by Young 19 years ago. Among UCC’s more popular coffee choices include the Sumiyaki blend, Kori Kohi, and Honey Brûlée Cappuccino.

UCC Clockwork also offers a full menu to complement its coffees. Its food items include pastas, pastries, all day breakfast and main dishes—all prepared with the same care and quality as its coffees. Choices include the Corned Beef Hash Benedict, Mango Crepe Samurai, Clockwork Monte Cristo, and Truffle Mushroom Pasta and Berries and Cream French Toast Tower, among others.

“If you have a craving for authentic Japanese food here in Cebu, you can pick out any of these three establishments to dine at,” Young said, adding that due to the warm reception these restaurants have received, he is bringing in more Japanese food concepts in the country in the near future.

And the best part, you can find all three restaurants at the Bonifacio District in F. Cabahug St., Kasambagan, Cebu City. So no need to travel far. You can just do all 3 at the same day if you like.
