A compact luncheon menu offers simple Sashimi, Sushi and Donburi selections. All featuring trusted, high quality and fresh ingredients/toppings at a surprisingly attractive price point. To that, they also offer the option for one to self-pick pristine cuts of fish/seafood from the refrigerated display, have them sliced by the kitchen staff and added to the set lunches as side dishes.
Today, to our Sushi and Sashimi set lunches, we also added wild Kanpachi and Bluefin Kama-Otoro as a side dish. Fish selection for our Sushi and Sashimi was pretty run-of-the-mill stuff, with nothing stand-out that was worth shouting about. The usual Salmon, Maguro, Chu-toro, Hamachi, Ikura, Tako, Botan Ebi, Hokkigai….etc were featured. A couple of ‘ aburi ‘ nigiri pieces were included in the sushi offering. For the mediocrity in ingredient choices served, however, it was more than made up by the high-quality and freshness of the cut-of-fish and seafood
All in all, an enjoyable luncheon outing. Service, though slow, was extremely friendly and attentive.
