Sushi Kaishin, Robertson Quay

Sushi Kaishin (#01-04 Riverside Village Residences, 30 Robertson Quay, tel : +65 6733 3720) is located back in one of the usually out of sight lanes at Robertson Quay. Just next door to Unagiya Ichinoji which is located where Menya Shinchan used to be. Wow, that ramen-ya was from quite a while back eh?

We of course, stumbled upon the knowledge of their existence online. We were told by their staff that they've been around for five years. Guess we haven't been paying attention to this stretch for at least that amount of time. 

This was their "Fuji" sushi lunch. 12 pieces with salad, soup and fruit.

The black tile with gari. Not a fan of gari.

This was supposed to be the end. But we decided to add on extras of the chutoro and the uni nigiri.

I'm not going to go through all of them. Don't recall having had hata (grouper) before. It has a little more bite like kanpachi as compared to hamachi which is generally more tender. The maguro was on the whole delicious and the toro buttery. Loved the iwashi (sans ginger) and that grilled anago was unexpectedly ethereal. Definitely not forgetting the uni that was infused with oceanic sweetness.

What I also found out today was that I like kinmedai grilled more than the raw one.

I liked the food. Even though it felt a little light in the belly and heavy on the wallet.
