Finally , sorting out a lunch date with an old good friend of mine, we love good food and drinks and probably food helped us to bring up a lot of topics for chit chat, she doesn’t do blogging but she is also a true foodie, and I really love to hang out with her ☺ I have been bugging her to take me to the sushi place and we manage to meet up today in Iwanami Japanese, pretty much right outside CWB Sogo MTR Exit. We had our sushi set (12 pcs omakase) plus Albino. To begin with our meal, the steame
To begin with our meal, the steamed egg, salad were served, they had a full house so we will have to eat these before we got escort to the bar counter. All up to standard, and the steam egg was sooooooo smooth. I am not going to go into details to describe every piece of those sushi, I think the photo will tel you the truth.
Flounder, since they have a big flounder family, my guess could be a karei?
The Sayori one is our second piece, one of the best Sayori I have had, so refreshing!
Buri came right next to the Sayori piece! I have to say, this buri made my day, soft with an optimal amount of oil, pretty much melt in my mouth!
Meguro soaked in soy sauce Kinme Dai! One of my friends fav!!!
Both of us were a huge fan of Albino, chef Ricky said that they are in superb quality today, so we had to do one bowl each. Served in a light soy sauce rather than the citrus, is still really good but the citrus could help wash away the greasiness, still, it is in superb quality!
Half way through we had miso
Grill toro with tempura spring onion , a very interesting combo, good to explore this new stuff!
No sake today,but chef ricky offered us an additional snack
Ika with uni, a very old school combo, but it was good!
The aka gai was really fresh too! Remind me of the old good times in the market!
Kohada marinated in vinegar
Aka-abi with sakura ebi
Mini uni rice
Mince toro hand roll with tempura onion to end our meal
To choose between coffee or ice cream, we went for coffee icecream, they had coffee jelly in there and impressed me completely!
Often lots of people said good sashimi can make good sushi? It is very important to know how to play around to match up the correct ingredient and craft a piece of sushi, coming back will be a must, jst gotta work out the best time to come back with my friend, together with some sake.
