--By Dionysus, translated by Cara Steenstra

The Wang Steak restaurant group has stepped over into the world of Japanese kaiseki cuisine by adding an element of creativity and opened up the ikki Creative Kaiseki Cuisine restaurant, situated in the business district between DunHua North and MinSheng East roads. Outside, it's hard to miss the eye-catching black restaurant sign while, inside, a winding staircase leads to a fountain and rectangular-shaped dining area. There are also different sized VIP rooms. The distinctive cutlery accents the simple yet exquisite food served here. With the daring use of black as a main color theme and strong splashes of red to complement the decor, a play of light and shadows and the use of tassels all exude a modern Eastern elegance. Ikki sets itself apart from traditional kaiseiki cuisine by offering more moderate prices and mostly providing set meals. Weekday lunches are between NT$800 and NT$1,200, and dinners are NT$1,200. These include an appetizer, two main dishes, dessert and other items. The kaiseiki art of displaying food ensures that both your stomach and your eyes can enjoy a real feast. Dishes include Apple Salad from Hokkaido, Sea Cucumber and Mountain Yam Fine Noodles, and Soft Shell Crab with Sweet Potato. Main courses include Barbecued Beef with Foie Gras, Lobster Cooked in Sauce, Stone Roasted Goat and others.
