For me, it was never "love at first taste" with Japanese food, but even then I love eating Ebi Tempura. Now, I am happy to say that I am eating more Japanese food, and is slowly embracing the unique taste of Japanese cuisine. Here in our house, it is brother and sister who's very much into Japanese food, and I am very thankful that brother shared these images to me from the day Sumo Sam opened its doors in SM Manila.


Co-owned by celebrity / chef / restaurateur Marvin Agustin (other owners are Ricky Laudico and Raymund Magdaluyo), this is the 26th Sumo Sam branch. Now that's a great indication that people love what they have to offer!


The interiors look very Japanese, and could comfortably sit couples and groups.

Sumo Sam offers a wide array of selection and here are just some of the many you could try:


Salmon Sashimi
{This is something I have yet to try - I am still letting myself learn how to eat raw food other than fruits and vegetables.}


Ebi Tempura
{My ultimate favorite Japanese food!}


Dynamite Roll
{I am quite used to the rolls as is... seeing this one with toppings just made me crave for it.}


California Roll
{Possibly the very first sushi roll I have come to love}


Las Vegas Roll
{Are those grated cheese on top? Interesting.}


Sumo Sam Pride Salad
{Prawns... I so want you! :P}


Bacon Dory
{I wonder if this is the same as the Bacon Wrapped Dory we had at John and Yoko years ago}


Chicken Teriyaki
{Looks delish!}


Japanese Rice
{This I want to eat with Ebi Tempura!}


Beef Teppan
{I love that it has a lot of vegetable sidings}


Spicy Tuna Salad
{It wasn't photographed beautifully, but as my brother says it, don't be deceived at how it looks, for this was his favorite dish that day.}


Ice Pops
{It's summertime already, and this seems to be a good dessert. I wanna taste either the Black Sesame or the Green Tea}
