I would like to share my dining experience last Saturday.
I met up with Ruth one week ago to give my Christmas gift to my god daughter. Ray-an, her husband asked if we liked Japanese food. I said excitedly: "of course, why?" It turned out that he discovered a good Japanese restaurant inside Fort Bonifacio, near their place. He said it was owned a Filipino and a Japanese and the food is authentic and cheap (really?). I smiled at Dominique (my BF) and requested that we try it out next weekend. And so we did.
Last Saturday, we embarked on a journey to Fort Bonifacio near the golf course and beside little karinderya-type restaurants in the stretch of the street going to 'Libingan ng mga Bayani'. At first we had a hard time looking for it and had to ask the security guard in David's for directions. To our amazement the guard replied: " oh... yun Japanese Restaurant, dun lang sa harap ng E-mart and katabi ng school... kumakain din nga ako dun e." So we went straight and almost missed it, if it weren't for the Japanese flag that was hanging outside. We were looking for the sign Agehei (supposedly the name of the restaurant). True enough the signage read "the Public Japanese Restaurant and then below that was the word Agehei. The guard was right.
The entrance seemed like a Karinderya with a karaoke. Some guys were sitting outside, singing and drinking their beer. It was more like a beer house but you have to pass through to go inside Agehei. It was a small place with only 4 tables in all with a Japanese cook in the small kitchen. The interiors were mostly bare with some Japanese banners and a kimono on a wooden hanger standing on its own . There were also a group of Japanese golfers having their dinner.
Dominique ordered the set menu composed of fried tuna, fried beef, fried egg, sushi, Japanese rice and miso soup on the side for only P120.00. I, on the other hand, ordered my fave tempura shrimps. We also got some California Maki (this was the most recommended appetizer of Ray-an), tea and Ika Fry. Would you believe, the California Maki was only P120 with 10 big pieces? I liked everything except the tempura because it was insipid than what I expected. I liked the California Maki and miso soup, the best! Ray-an was right in saying that after you've eaten there, you will not find any other California maki any good. Yum!
We are definitely going back. I want to try the Sukiyaki and Donburi. On second thought , I want to try the whole menu. hehe. I can hardly wait.

hi! my friend who is the Japanese chef's very good friend happen to read your blog and he shared it in his blog www.govvin.com. I am a regular customer in Agehei and we've shared a lot of good times there especially with the chef. In my friend's blog he said, if you want the best meal, say "Odoroki" then you'll be in for a surprise! :-) We always do that and it's worth it!
