Sushi Itsu was recommended by a friend who knows Japanese food inside out. We were thrilled to have booked a table two weeks in advance to celebrate the Chinese New Year at Sushi Itsu. The omakase meal we had was truly a feast for the senses and left us feeling happy and satisfied. There were SO MANY surprises in this meal.
The Daikon Nimono (turnip) starter was a flavorful and satisfying introduction to the omakase meal. The shrimp flavor was perfectly infused into the dish, making it a delicious and satisfying start to the meal. The Chawanmushi (steam egg) was a truly fulfilling dish, with a variety of ingredients including shrimp, crab, and fish. The flavors were expertly balanced, and the delicate texture of the Chawanmushi perfectly complemented the succulent seafood.
The omakase meal was a true seafood lover's paradise, featuring a diverse selection of seafood dishes even before sushi came , which were not only delicious but also unique and hard to find elsewhere. The lobster sashimi was particularly noteworthy, with its delicate and umami flavor and ”crunchy" texture. The oysters were plump and fresh, and the yellowtail, particularly oily during the winter, was expertly prepared with sea urchin source to bring out its rich and complex flavor. The Sawara was a delightful surprise, and the refreshing salad was a great palate cleanser between dishes. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented, making it a truly memorable dining experience.
The sushi course was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Each piece was a symphony of flavors and textures, featuring the freshest and most premium ingredients including Tuna, Tai, Sea Urchin, and Karei. The fish was so fresh it was as if it was swimming in the ocean just moments before. The flavors were well balanced and complementary, and the fish was particularly well-suited for sashimi during the winter season. The sushi chef's skill and knowledge of seasonal ingredients was evident in every bite. Each piece was not only delicious, but also a true work of art, a true celebration of the freshest and most delicious seafood available during the winter. It was a truly satisfying and memorable experience, one that left us in awe.
The omakase meal was brought to a satisfying conclusion with a rich and flavorful lobster soup, utilizing the heads of the lobsters used in the sashimi course. The soup was a true symphony of umami flavors, which was a perfect end to the meal. The addition of the lobster heads elevated the soup to a whole new level, adding depth and complexity to the broth. The finale of the meal was a delightful pairing of a Belgium chocolate ice cream and a freshly brewed black coffee, which provided a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness that was truly satisfying.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly memorable and satisfying dining experience. The omakase meal we had was a true celebration of seafood, featuring a diverse selection of unique and delicious dishes. The service was top-notch and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The omakase experience was a true culinary journey, featuring the finest and freshest ingredients expertly prepared and presented. It was a meal that left us feeling truly sated and impressed, I will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.
