Sakae Sushi broke into the scene being the first restaurant to introduce the sushi conveyor belt or “Kaiten” in Manila.  Hubert Young collaborated with Singaporean entrepreneur Douglas Foo and brought in the Philippines, Sakae Sushi, which offers Japanese cuisine infused with a bit of Filipino twist.  It’s basically Sakae Sushi’s Japanese cuisine made accessible to the Filipinos’ palate.

“Establishing the brand’s distinct identity does not mean that one should stop introducing new innovation to diners – it’s actually a call to expand the range of options to offer variety for the customer’s palate,” said Hubert Young, a restaurateur who introduced some of the most distinctive dining destinations where foodies can find unequaled dining fulfillment, “An enriched selection of offerings provide an accessible yet gastronomic experience, which is an initiative that all dining brands should perform to add assortments to the list of diners’ favorites.”

Hubert Young is also the great mind behind the chain of UCC Cafes in the Metro and Cafe 1888.

Having established Sakae Sushi’s name in the food industry, Hubert Young’s penchant for providing diversity to Filipino foodies is evidenced by the brand’s expanded offerings and the way it’s being delivered.

One distinct culinary experience that our group very much took pleasure in is Sakae Sushi’s conveyor belt concept where we kept choosing from an endless parade of Japanese delights fresh off the automated sushi-making process.

Tuesday night, we come to discover that Sakae Sushi does not only offer delectable sushi and sashimi within your table’s reach, but they also present a variety of dishes in different flavors that discerning diners will surely enjoy.

On the Table

Tropical Roll

A mixture of ham, mango, spring onion, red bell pepper and kani salad on a roll –the first of the Superior Rolls introduced to us

Ebi Salad Roll

The second Superior Rolls option is a roll with the combination of asparagus, ebi salad, spring onion and lolorosa

Chicken Skin

Everyone just got addicted on these crispy chicken skins drenched in sweet citrusy vinaigrette

Salmon Sashimi, Maguro Sashimi and Kajiki Sashimi

Fresh, fresh, fresh and prepared well

Gindara Teriyaki

Black cod marinated in lightly sweet Teriyaki sauce.  The sauce does not overpower the clean delectable fish meat, which I really liked.  It definitely added the tasty flavor particularly in the charred skin portion that slowly crumbles in your mouth in a flavorsome delight.

Ebi Tempura

Lightly battered and deep fried ebi tempura.  Noticeably, Sakae Sushi’s version does not scrimp on the ingredients as one can get a real bite of the prawn.

Samurai Steak

Sakae Sushi’s version of Beef Teppanyaki –tender beefy goodness!

Tempura Fried Ice Cream

Japanese tempura batter serves as a crispy crust around vanilla ice cream.  Hot crunchy tempura crust amidst the cold creaminess of the ice cream –the yin yang of dessert!

Watermelon Shake

Refreshingly sweet!

With Sakae Sushi’s diversified offerings, Hubert Young’s global expertise for providing a distinctive culinary experience has transcended from bringing diversity to the brand’s menu to an accessible yet enriched Japanese indulgence.  There’s more that meets the taste buds than Sakae Sushi’s unique conveyor belt (although it’s definitely an experience on its own).  Taste their main dish offerings and treat yourself to the rest that sushi paradise has to offer.

With the group.

I had bowls of laughter that night with all the bloggers’ impersonation 🙂
