Push past these shelves and you’ll find yourself inside Ume Maru, a new Japanese bar that’s brought to you by the same people behind Ume San 100. While the range of bar bites and mains here is enticing, weebs in particular will find much to love about the drinks inspired by anime and manga. These drinks can be enjoyed with the manga volumes on Ume Maru’s shelves. As for bar bites, you’ve got cold dishes such as Crudo ($18++), which features salmon, tuna, and scallop sashimi, as well as grilled skewers including the Wagyu Kushi ($28++). There’s also the Truffle Hotplate Maki ($20++), which sees unagi and salmon maki cooked on a hotplate with creamy truffle tartare sauce. If you’re looking for something heartier, consider having Ume Maru’s main dishes. Try the gorgeous Yuzu Soba ($24++), which is tossed in yuzu sauce and served with pan-seared scallops. Also worth checking out is the Kitsune Udon ($22++), which sees Inaniwa udon hidden in a beancurd skin pouch and paired with a flavourful dashi broth. Those who prefer rice dishes can opt for the Buta Don ($18++) for its succulent pork slices, creamy onsen egg, and fluffy short-grain rice.
