Went here because this is a great restaurant where you can sit in front of Chef the serving the Omakase.
There are two choices, one with 8 pieces of sashimi and 3 pieces of sushi or 3 pieces of sashimi and 8 pieces of sushi.
I went for the one with 8 pieces of sushi as I have a big appetite but it turns out that this one is quite filling so guys would probably be alright with first set with more sashimi.
Started off with this refreshing appetizer of sliced salmon nose in an appetizing vinaigrette topped with salmon roe.
It was followed by fried horse mackerel with edible bones in vinegar.
To cleanse the palette, there were pickles.
Burdock, pickled vegetables and radish.
My first piece of sashimi began with this creamy uni wrapped in flounder fish.
It was then followed by melt in your mouth Toro. It was like jelly disintegrating in my mouth and that was how good it was.
Then there was prawn, another delish item.
The golden snapper had this silky red skin attached which was full of flavour.
The seabream was similar but the taste was lighter.
The ark shell clam was evidently fresh, I am so sure I saw it moving.
The surf clam sushi was seared so it had a soft texture with fragrant oils.
The sweet prawn sushi was very soft and sweet.
Then it was the prized uni, again it was silky and sweet.
I was quite full by this stage but there was one more toro sushi to go.
Finished with the last piece of sushi roll which had minced tuna wrapped in a crispy layer of seafood.
Our last course was the strong tasting miso clams broth.
The dessert was equally surprisingly because you are served healthy fruit.
It was a sweet and mush melon from JAPAN
