Springtime at Sushiro

Sushiro has their spring seasonals going on. We haven't been back here in a while so here's a bunch of stuff we had from a couple of visits. Not all, just the most of them because I missed some and I'm also avoiding repeat photos here unless I've something to add or think it deserves another mention.

As sure as we were that their marinated uni wrap wouldn't be as pretty as their product shot, we ordered some to see if it was good.

Here's how the actual marinated uni wrap looked like. To be fair, it was not bad tasting.

There's botan ebi. Hah! That cold excuse for the fried shrimp head. Can you imagine cold fried shrimp head?

Cannot beat their regular big red shrimp which are by the way still good. Fleshier and sweeter.

That's hon maguro kamatoro - collar, jaw or gill area of bluefin tuna going by the name. It's pretty darn good. You know the buttery melt in your mouth kind of good. With a bit of sinews. We had seconds.

Tamagoyaki came in big slices, was chilled and sweet. Nice.

Hotaru ika gunkan - did not expect to see this and it's not bad tasting if you can deal with the squid-y fishiness.

Natto gunkan - nice!

This was one of those repeat pics that deserves another mention. Again. Shirasu, ikura, nori, spring onions an a squeeze of lemon over warm noodles. So good.

Uni ramen is back on the menu. Still the same creamy sweet uni sauce. This run also has shredded shiso leaves.

Shoyu glazed aburi jumbo scallops. A variant of their regular raw jumbo scallops which was also a good eat.

Aburi nodoguro - oily and fatty piece of delicious fish.

I was almost sneering at this shrimp with cheese and mentaiko but changed my mind after having one. Smokey and savoury with flavour and even texture like sausages. 😬

They have decent kanpachi here. Something I wouldn't mind coming back for.

Roasted saba. Actually not bad.

Never imagined that I'd have fatty aburi-ed Iberico pork sushi but here it is. Not bad at all.

Some dessert called strawberry Catalana. Creamy/milky strawberry thingy with a brûlée top.

Kumamoto melon is in season and on the menu. These were sweet, tender and juicy.

There's a rich chocolate cake in the dessert section of the menu. I can't say that it was fantastic. It's also not bad tasting because I liked the bitter chocolate hints in it.

Their matcha parfait has some cold and stiff matcha warabi mochi. That's the only matcha about it. The caramel sauce soft serve and cornflakes were nice though like many other parfaits. I was hoping that there might be some other matcha thing like ice cream. Or adzuki beans.
